Johnny Carson was not a member of the rat pack, but certainly was a mate. He was also the greatest talk show host that ever lived. Love them all. RIP Gentleman. You still make life better for us privileged enough to know you and adore you.
I got the chance to see him live in the 80's with Sinatra and Liza Minelli and he was mesmerizing. When his set finished it was like you had been carried away. I remember seeing him on TV, Merv Griffin and the like, but nothing held a candle to the live performance.
@@benjaminandersen5921non of them were actually racist. Especially Sinatra was well known for his anti-racist opinion. They acted like fools on stage, to show people how foolish racism is.
Well apart from one gimmick Dean Martin being a drunk he dint actually drink that much most of the time he was on stage with what was believed to be a scotch was actually apple juice so yes they did have a gimmick and that was he acting as a drunk none the less still unbelievably talented
@@johnbaker7576 Until the end. Dean came on too drunk too often. Frank dropped him. Never even went to Dean's funeral. He had had it with Dean being drunk.
You are a total idiot Dean Martin was playing a drunk he was acting ,everybody on the set knew that but it takes an idiot to make suck a statement like you!
I was fortunate to have met Sammy when they opened the casinos in Atlantic city. He didn't know me from Adam and he must have talked to us for an hour. He was pure class! I will always love this man!
Sweetest part is at 2:45 when Frank cracks up and places his head on Sammy's shoulder. They were truly good friends who loved each other. No hiding it.

yes..men who weren't afraid of being men-- can you imagine them NOW-- with all this crappy shit going on???? omg---- there will be holes in the desert tonite ..lol
alec sigg Not just your country - the whole WORLD needs this kind of class, charisma, style and just pure, wonderful unmatched talent back again. But sadly, those more innocent, fun-loving days are long-gone, lost in the mist of the memories of those of us who were there, and the world is now a much colder and harsher place.
My Dad sounded just like Dean Martin singing. It was and still is beautiful to hear his voice on media. Brings tears to my eyes....rip my darling Dad. Rip Dean Martin.
I was surprised that the 4th man was Johnny Carson....After watching Johnny on The Tonight Show for so many years,I had forgotten that he could sing a bit!
This video is incredible. Just imagine if you could travel back in time to attend this concert, sitting in the first row. What an experience could it be.
I have never seen this I was laughing my ass off why can't Society in life be this way😂 instead of all the hatred it goes on today why can't we just have this find love for each other the nowadays it's all hate I'm glad I'm in my old age and I'll be gone soon and I won't see the hate that we have today God bless these entertainers for bringing us fun and see how we can all just get along and love one another it's a sad day for the world today
One of the best live concerts you will ever see. Humour, love and respect for each other and a genuine friendship that is rarely seen among top entertainers... NO egos here. Just class and fun...
I watch this recording whenever l need a little bit of sunshine in my life. The multi talented Sammy Davis Jnr does it for me every time. What a talent he had. I miss you Sammy, RIP.
Cragmortis They were both... plus Sammy was also of course an excellent dancer and could play many musical instruments. And Dean and Frank both proved that they could be fine dramatic actors in the right film roles.
Everyone was a comedian in the 50s, look at the Johnny Carson show, the one with Dean Martin then the one with Frank and Dean. The most entertaining shit ever
It seems like they didn't try to force the past on the present, they just acknowledged it and moved forward with humor because the respect and love was real.
@D T I am from the days of respect and honor and all the good things that are rare today! These cats where the best and embodied true coolness! Regardless of your race or background you wanted to be like them on so many levels! They were actually before my time and I am 51 now, but through TV and later appearances I got to enjoy true legends @ their best!!!!
I've noticed that back then and even years before they all came into existence, being overly talented, and what they would call a triple threat today, was common across the board in the entertainment business regardless of race, background or gender! Hence the reason that I have so many diverse all time favorite artists and entertainers!
I was never sure about Carson but now l am and l don't like racists. I am old enough to remember all of these very gifted people but l am appalled by the racisim that was prevalent then. Carson to Sammy Davis...... What's it like to sit at the back of the bus? Disgusting.
Watch it again. That wasn't Carson to Sammy. It was Sammy to Dean. The same voice that said "What's it like to sit in the back of the bus!" also said a moment later "Let's give Dean a chance!" That's what makes it funny!
These were the coolest cats in the 60's, they did not need half naked back ground dancers and fancy strobe lights, just a great orchestra or two with their vocals and their stage presence. Man, I miss those days.
These guys had it all, style, class, sophistication, and smooth. They were so relaxed and went adlib for a basic plan. More talent in their fingernails then most others have in the whole bodies. The words Legendary and Iconic look to these guys.
@@MrRubberchicken21, nope... Dean didn't drink when he was going onstage and was a very light drinker even offstage. That was all just part of his act.

Johnny stopped drinking, as he at least had that level of self awarness. Not every mean drinker does that, so credits goes to Johnny.

WE HAVE !!! They were great friends & there's a story about Frank & Dean, they heard that the hotel/ casino wouldn't let Sammy Davis in thru the front door, that he had to enter like all blacks who worked there, thru the back. So the guys got ahold of the front desk & management to tell them that either Sammy was allowed to enter thru the front doors with them or like them 8or they were leaving & would never play there again.... So low & behold Sammy was allowed to enter thru the front doors & so were "all" the other black employees, know why ? They'd lose too much money & also, didn't want to take a chance of the other employees being backed by The Rat Pack....

Nothing was off the table and it didn’t matter- because they all truly respected and loved each other and the talents they brought to the act. ! Gosh I miss this !
These men were so much bigger than a group of singers on a stage, they knew how to truly engage with a crowd and make that crowd a part of their "act", they enjoyed themselves on stage and so they were able to entertain who's ever watching them, true artists.
As a person in his 50's, having watched SDJ, FS and DM in films, I'm unsure why I'm so nostalgic when I see these guys together. Can it just be a simple as four mates having a laugh, four guys who genuinely loved\liked each other, I think so, I really do.
I love the fact, that even though it is a product of its time, that Sammy Davis Junior almost always took centerstage. I wish we had an entertainer alive today as versatile and as talented as he was.
In my opinion, one of the very closest we have had although sadly, no longer with us, was the brilliant Roy Castle. I have often thought that - what a performer!

I love this, we need more of this true love for your fellow man in rhe world, where color has no meaning..
This was when entertainer could be friends and still be themselves. They e en sung each others jokes and songs.
Fabulous. Reminds me of my dad. He loved Frank
These men were so much bigger than a group of singers on a stage, they knew how to truly engage with a crowd and make that crowd a part of their "act", they enjoyed themselves on stage and so they were able to entertain who's ever watching them, true artists.
Most of the GREATS are deceased. Thanks for posting this.
Jarobi Trice glad you enjoy
Laughing through a few tears, man I miss this type of entertainment!!
This is good living....they all gave us such good memories to reflect back on 😀
😮😂I still can not get over Johnny Carson Singing. He sounds great but Wow.👌👌
As a person in his 50's, having watched SDJ, FS and DM in films, I'm unsure why I'm so nostalgic when I see these guys together. Can it just be a simple as four mates having a laugh, four guys who genuinely loved\liked each other, I think so, I really do.
This is true talent and entertainment and brotherhood. I so miss this.
Best video that I have seen in years.
Mend broken heart with the BEST of SIX flogging.
O Dean pretending to be drunk he's my favorite.
Uhhh, yeah, pretending.
MrAlcazar his drunk persona was an act.
Lewis )
He wasn't pretending
Most of it was an act, the drink he carried was usually apple juice. Not to say they didn't drink, but he played it up to make people laugh.
So loving the true genuine love and respect. RIP, Sammy, Frank & Deano the love is showing to all. 😍😍👍🏽xxx
beejayeb ... Lets not forget RIP Johnny Carson too. He die in 2005
And Count Basie!
Now thats entertainment 😀 miss the cheeky innocence if those days💕
I love the fact, that even though it is a product of its time, that Sammy Davis Junior almost always took centerstage. I wish we had an entertainer alive today as versatile and as talented as he was.
In my opinion, one of the very closest we have had although sadly, no longer with us, was the brilliant Roy Castle. I have often thought that - what a performer!
Jamie Foxx?
Bruno Mars is the closet we have in this generation. Sing, Dance, Guitar, Piano, Drums, Write
Wayne brady?
@@arewestilldoingphrasing6490 not comparable
When Sam tells dean “how does it feel to be in the back of the bus” 😂😂😂
Even tho he is half Puerto Rican tho mother side.
Sammy Davis Jr : half Black , half Puerto Rican , 100% Jewish
Sammy mother is actually Cuban!
i miss those days. Honored to have lived them.
Love these guys.......
Can't find this awesome type of this entertainment any longer
My childhood was amazing growing up listening to these guys.
