[@keepitrealdowntoearth4328]

What class !! You will never get better than this guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@njplr]

Sammy and Johnny. When late night TV had style and class. Sigh.

[@joelweisberg]

Perhaps the greatest all around entertainer ever!

[@jaydolan9603]

Perhaps??

@@jaydolan9603 @Joel Barry, Was just about to the say the same thing: PERHAPS???

[@kmlh9]

sammy shows just how great of a singer he is,he feels the song and makes it truely his own,I remember seeing this thaxs 4 posting,its great.

[@pepperwilliams4428]

Sammy Davis Jr was the consummate performer!!!

[@amazmace]

Everytime I see Sammy I feel like a kid again. I was born in the 60's. I watched him on "Laugh In". I watched the MDA telethon and couldn't wait till he came on to sing. I was so fortunate to see him live on the telethon once. Thanks, Joe.

[@onearmy942]

Absolutely magnificent!!! What greatness looks and sounds like...

[@Continental460]

Thank you Joe for posting this! Im 23 years old and love Johnny Carson and Sammy Davis both!

[@ukestudio3002]

Lived only to age 64. I’m sure he’d have preferred 85 . Great entertainer !

[@crowe]

Turns out that Sammy was still great late in life--- provided he sang in a comfortable key! This is a joy!

[@Choughzev]

This is five years before he died, and he's showing everyone he still has the pipes of a freakishly gifted 25-year old. His voice only went right before the end?

[@josephpalau897]

Sammy, Dino, and Frank LEGENDS!!!

[@tonyanderton3521]

Joseph, we'll never see their like again.

Love him. Love him so bad. So weird to see a performer on stage with the cigarette though LOL

[@Aprilhojazz]

yay I'll get on that slow boat and let you take me home!

[@brendarudman8806]

Lovely man

[@millsbrothers]

NO I AM JUST GLAD YOU PUT IT UP!!

[@toniwilson1579]

Funny his pal Dean Martin sung this same song. They both sung it great but they both put there own twist on it. That is what great about music ... Same song can have different feeling depending on who singing it.

[@jamesmcinnis208]

Where own twist?

[@toniwilson1579]

That was what was so nice back then ... They was so comfortable sharing their song who who ever wanted to sing them without competition with each other. Dean was more relax of Crouse, Sammy put a touch of jazz into his version of it.

[@sj.vanlaarhoven4535]

Frank even did it in the 40s

[@syneathiabell1350]

I hate that Sammy smoked, long life was in his family. His mother died at the age of 93 and his grandmother was 101 when she died...

[@millsbrothers]

YOU REMEMBERED!!!

[@josephmiele6912]

Perfection!

[@litomendoza5697]

This fellow can really really sing! But always with a stick of smoke & whiskey glass....

[@melodharmony]

There is no verse to this song, cos I don't wanna wait a minute too long to tell ya...............That I'd likeetc etc ..... Wow the verse that isn't a verse is a great verse that sets the scene for the chorus.............................great stuff.

[@siriusminx]

Sammy died at age 64. Throat cancer I believe. : (

[@beckettmaupin]

Cigarettes.

[@babajamiaco]

Ups, sorry, Frank Loesser, of course...

[@hmol1955]

Yeah! Not to forget.

[@hmol1955]

Just for onece i think that the electric bass is out of style.

[@bausin]

Sad that Sammy says he plans on staying around another 20 years, but he only makes it another 6.

[@albertabramson3894]

+bausin Hi had the same thought. Tragic. He'd be 90 now.

[@iceblue6971]

​@@albertabramson3894 97 now

[@JoeWellington]

Shame on me! I knew better than that. Thank you.
