The Many, many talents of Sammy Davis jr - part 1

[@5speedMax]

This man could do it all. Totally underrated compared to his monumental talent. Who since has been able to fill his shoes? He was amazing!

[@KutayYavuzMusic]

The legend deserves a great movie about his life.

[@dc8058]

A wonderful idea but who could possibly play him?

[@J9harrison]

The most talented versatile entertainer in American history! He could do it all! My personal favorite!

[@1mespud]

Sammy Davis Jr. elevated showbiz to a higher level.

[@TheRiceowlex]

Awesome Sammy Davis Jr. Never knew he did all these impressions, a true genius..

[@monicapena9927]

Love this Man, What a talent. Miss you Sammy.

[@rockandroll4evermore]

I've been watching a lot of KZbin, and he may be the most-talented star ever.

[@clydedvaz1937]

He was the best , There will never be another

[@TenderTrap86]

Sammy was absolutely marvelous. What a performer.

[@ciscon6033]

Ah yess the late great & multi-talented Sammy Davis Jr🙌 i loved when he did Dean Martin lol he tried to drink the microphone😄😂

[@sandrakisch3600]

I loved this so much. It brought all these people back to life.

[@laurenpetulengro1671]

Incomparable talent! What an entertainer. Absolutely brilliant.

[@takineti]

The way he did that Brando impersonation mostly with mannerisms was awesome!!

[@8mycrab]

All those impersonations were spot on! Very funny Jerry Lewis at the end. Sammy Davis was GENIOUS. Susie

[@MrEdium]

AN AMAZING LEGEND !!!! THE BEST IN THE RAT PACK. HE COULD DO ANYTHING ! SING, DANCE, ACT, IMPRESSIONIST, GUN SLINGER, ETC ALL !

[@balcon983]

One in a million performer.

[@1947Keef]

We will never see the like again, amazing talent.

[@Hutzjohn]

Yes Sammy was truly one of the GREATS

[@garywrightny]

Nice to see...not only to revel in his brilliance but also to see a routine that has been taken by a current artist who doesn't credit his source while basking in the light for himself.

[@matrox]

Very good impressions.

[@dearmalika]

RIP Sammy Davis, you're the greatest!

[@chihuahuabulldog]

Thank you so much for sharing.

[@trillwallace]

EXTRAORDINARY!👏👏👏👏👏

[@Blackjesus3]

brilliant peformer

[@pennywise1682]

perhaps the most talented entertainer of all times. i wish i had seen the rat pack back in the days, but i´m simply too young....

[@mantell]

A shame this kind of entertainment is now extinct!!! :-(

[@Thommy2n]

true at that point he was probably still working on the voice, but you have to admit the whole intro that he used leading in was amazingly spot on.

[@TheClassics4me]

I love this. Also used it as proof to win 20 bucks. A friend didn't believe a dance titled 'mashed potatoes' existed. LOL

[@robertweekes5783]

wow, he really brought down the house!!

[@hailaisissi3978]

😂Marlon Brando 😅

[@leonc100]

Sammy = LEGEND

[@karmasaraswati9815]

One of the greatest in the world

[@smoothdog22]

very good

[@whiskydog777]

A one of a kind genius

[@SixthDivison]

Dean Martin impression LMAO!classic

[@HUTINAK]

that's funny "This is me.." Telling the audience, The impressiojns are over and now back to ME!

[@TheDiamondRealm]

Correct. Late at night when I wrote that and forgot most before 1960, Mostly, we have the "Idol" shows and singers of the like. Of the Greatest, was Brel, little known at all in the West (apart from the musical which translated some of his songs into English. His writings are amazing, and I do not believe will ever be equaled. Thanks for the comment!

[@jeffreyfearn5662]

Even with all his talent he was not allowed to stay in the hotels he was performing at!!!

[@melliemel32]

So sad!!! Ridiculous even.

[@CATniteOwl]

You can turn off the sound and still know who he's impersonating. Oh, how I miss him!

[@C-White400]

@mantell honestly i think this style of entertainment and this type of talent became extinct the instant he died. One of a kind he was

[@YeOldeSilver]

man can singggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JBKNL]

you are most welcome :) and i have never heard about Brel.then again...i am not from the US and i dont watch Idols,Xfactor or whatever talent hunting commercial crappy show.Its all about "dial now to vote!" and that is considered with a pretty word...entertainment.

[@DerrikRose1991]

who is he impersonating at 5:44

[@JBKNL]

could well be...Danny Kaye did impressions as well tho not on a broad scale as Sammy I think.Great Great talent...dont got guys like around anymore.Allround entertainers that is...

[@SmelOdies]

@Thommy2n Check out Kevin Spacey's Brando on the James Lipton show. It's amazing.

[@robertweekes5783]

@furrowin I'm sure he also worked his ass off for it!

[@Waszma]

Holy Shit man....

[@bobmths]

@mantell isnt that just so true

[@felixthelmocevallosmorales41]

Samuel George SAMMY Davis JR 08 de diciembre de 1925 16 de mayo de 1990 98 años 64 años 34 años

[@matarisambia8771]

** No competition **

[@deneenjeffries2768]

Watching Sammy Dance in this clip, I think Alphonso Ribeiro who played Carlton on Fresh Prince, could have played Sammy in a biopic and did a good job, but he's probably a bit too old for the role now.

[@hokeywolf3416]

Deneen Jeffries - Who?

[@TheDiamondRealm]

I'm thinking, was he one of the first, comic impersonators? I know he was doing this in the 50's? Acting, singing, acting WHILE singing, dancing, impersonating, comedy. WHAT didn't he do?

[@peterang6912]

After 12 years, saying , playing the violin ...

[@LEIMALOCCA]

@thisisamessageto damn straight! lol

[@MrEdium]

OH AND PHOTOGRAPHER.

[@MrEdium]

OH AND COMEDIAN.

[@SmelOdies]

He needed to work on his Brando.

[@silvermann6515]

Nothing to work on. UT was perfect

[@SmelOdies]

@@silvermann6515 It was okay, but it wasn’t excellent like the others.
