Impossible to watch Michael here without be covered in goose bumps. His voice and his expressions are just wonderful. I already watched 1000 times and still have the same emotion...
I always come back to see this moving tribute from Michael to Sammy Davis Jr. And each time I love Michael even more... He was incredible! He is irreplaceable.
MJ is forever young and beautiful!!! Whatever performance he did that was ALWAYS perfect, no doubt, because he put his soul in everything he did and he did it so professionally!!!! ABSOLUTELY GENIUS GORGEOUS AND INCOMPARABLE!!!!!!
awww, this was so beautiful, so simple yet so sweet... and this also makes me miss sammy davis jr. he was a gem also. both michael and sammy...very talented performers.
Our beloved Michael Jackson was so beautiful, charming, geniune and authentic in this tribute performance to Sammy Davis, Jr. It was so sweet to see Sammy Davis, Jr. tear up. He had known MJJ since he was a child. I am so proud of MJ!. He danced his own dance, he sang his own song, he followed his dreams not the dreams of others. MJJ was such a strong, powerful, gentle gifted man created in the image of God.He is such an inspirational song writer and singer. Love you eternally MJJ!
I can't get enough of this song, of this performance, of this moment. Not only were Michael's vocals on time, but the facial expressions and his gestures to the audience as well as the legendary Sammy Davis Jr. The admiration and gratitude on Sammy Davis Jr's face is PRICELESS.
gosh i miss michael jackson. i don't care what stage of life he was in, i love them all. he was a beautiful soul...and beautiful, wonderful person. forever michael!
The look on Sammie's face is PRICELESS!!! Such a beautiful and heartfelt tribute to the MAN, Sammie Davis! It brought tears to my eyes all over again! Michael put his heart and soul into this song. You can tell that he felt it way down deep, and was fighting back tears when he did his fierce pose! I loved them both, and they are sorely missed!!
Michael always took the time to pay tribute and honor to those who paved the way for his career. He is perfection. I love you Michael and miss you so much...You are divine.
How so very appropriate a tribute this song is for the Great Sammy Davis Jr. I can feel the passion and gratitude Michael felt when singing it to him. It's so wonderful that God saw fit to have the two of them meet on earth during that space in time. God Bless You Sammy and Michael RIP
Just saw the entire show and I was blown away. The best of the best were there that night and to see them all on the same stage was a privilege. The sad thing was that in less than a year Sammy died.
This just proves what a talent he was, wish he had done more of this kind of a thing, just singing from the heart, honest and moving. Can't believe he's gone.
It's like EVERYTIME I watch Michael, he gives me such emotions that I simply cannot describe, comprehend or touch them...it's an unearthly feeling! Everything from the expression of his face, passionate singing, to his amazing movements is so.....so MAGICAL, GENUINE and IRRESISTIBLE that I wanna cry and laugh at once!!! He had a unique world full of wonders inside himself...this man didn't have any flaws. He slipped away, we lost him, gee!! it's tough :(
I am so thankful that I have been on this planet for the last 31 years with the gift of sight and hearing. I do not know a world without Michael Jackson and I have to admit that it is a strange place. He was just always there. I am very sad to say that there will never be another,of his caliber, ever. Thank you so much Michael for your tireless dedication and sacrifice for the benefit of others. Always and Forever....
The two greatest entertainers who ever graced the planet !!! we were truly blessed !!!!! Thank you Sammy Davis Jr and Michael Jackson , we love you !!!!
Oh oh oh...whenever I see and hear this, the bottom of my soul gets touched..no-one can reach that deep, create and express such emotion as this kindhearted person, Michael Jackson. Wish he were still with us, not only for us to help us spread the message of love and preserve the planet, but also for him, still enjoying the sunshine, his kids, funfair, swimming and laughing, ah he was so sweet.. RIP dear Michael, you deserve the most beautiful rest!!
This is amazing, Michael was definitely an amazing live performer. His emoting is superb! We don't see that in artiste these days. His breathing control is exceptional too!
God..i remeber crying like a baby years ago while watching this..such a moving times for me..LOVE YOU MICHAEL!!!!FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER.....
peak MJ, get chills every time! 'This is it' should've been like this, screw the dancing, just give him a mic. and let him sing his heart out like he did way back when on the Ed Sullivan show.
I can't watch this clip without crying. The beautiful sincerity in his voice and the genuine, emotional reaction of Sammy Davis is so moving. A lovely memory of two lovely talented people. Thanks for this.
omgosh a angel in human form ♥♥♥ his voice is so captivating & lyrical that even Sammy Davis was taken by it. His talent will not be surpassed by anyone, he's that great ♥
you were there mj, but now u have left, all thhe musice u left behind, we have kept, for there will be another u, for that fact is true,we will remember what u did and what u always do...U INSPIRE!!! ily mj and we will always remember that u were there and you've seen it all.. thats why we have always loved u...
At 2:10 when he turns to look at S.Davis Jr. I feel that an ocean of emotions is coming out of his eyes. That is what Michael did, he did not just sing. HE FELT.
i included this in a playlist of favorites, so i'm back visiting this video! thank you so much to the channel provider for the upload! mj always and forever in our hearts.
im really speechles..its soo beautiful and with so much emotion...michael is the best and this song is so good..and he sings it with such a meaning and feeling...love u michael
In spite of all the work he had himself, Michael always had time to write songs like this and "Elizabeth I love you," to his friends, to call them when they had problems, on birthdays, and on special occasions, and of course, he also had time for his charities. This says it all about this wonderful man, and his superb human quality. This is the reason of the world response to his death. One doesn't need to have personally met an extraordinary human being like him to appreciate and feel his love.
Oh, we miss you Michael !! What an amazing song. Why hasn't this been released worldwide? It's a hit !! Michael's estate and Sony could really be hitting a jackpot if they would release just one album of unreleased tracks and the fans would be getting a great gift !! Thank you ! RIP Michael.
Whoa...what a performance. No need for all his fantastic dance moves when he can belt out a vocal masterpiece like that. Truly a rare and precious moment. You can see how entranced Sammy was during that middle shot.
Michael displays this truly human side. I hate all the media heads speculating over his last days. As if they had to live his life. He was not a recreational drug user.. R.I.P. We love you and always have and will. You are not going to ever die in our hearts or the hearts of our children.
Nossa me emocionei e chorei vendo o Sammy Davis Jr abraçar e beijar o Michael Jackson, duas grandes estrelas que jamais se apagarão, cada um com sua grandeza. Parabéns e obrigada pelo vídeo I love you Michael Jackson e Sammy Davis Jr ! Jamais os esquecerei!
Wow, this wonderful song, Michael's touching interpretation, his charisma and at last the great comments make me cry: I can feel his presence, his deep love and his joy about the fact that his message lives on. Now it's our job to increase love on earth and as a result we can CHANGE and HEAL THE WORLD. Michael will always be at our sides. Michael, I love you so deeply, we will all meet in heaven some day. See you later!!!
this is a wonderful song and i think the same could be said about michael.he kicked that door in for the next generation too, and he got the scrapes to prove it, but through it all he maintained his talent and dignity..i am so glad i got to see the real man and his amazing , heart soul and talent through these wonderful clips.rest in peace MJ truly missed by millions
And the second boy ADMITTED that he lied, after MJ`s Death. What more proof do you need??? But let me know and I will give it to you. *Beyond his belief
Michael always, always gave so much respect to the legends before him. He also paved the way and gave so much for all the talent in the industry today; I only wished he could have been given a tribute while he was alive. R.I.P. brother Jackson
ma chère correspondante anonyme je reconnais que la chanson est splendide mais le son de cette enregistrement est d'origine il est impossible de l'améliorer car il a été fait de cette façon et ses trop tard
I could watch and listen to this over and over. Michael's voice isnt the only thing that is captivating here, it's his expressions, his body language, so much passion in this song, genuine heartfelt passion. I couldnt love him any more if I tried.
amazing i remember trying to watch this live on tv in a room full of haters, i'ts good to see it in peace, hit pause when mike hugs sammy at the end. . .two legends of showmanship.
it's 2014 almost 2015 people still wondering about michael's skin? he had a condition, a skin disease called vitiligo, if you (like many ignorant people) think he bleached his skin go searching for vitiligo videos on you tube. Vitiligo creates white spots on skin, they enlarge during the years. If first he used to cover the small white spots, after decades the white spots almost covered the whole body so he started to cover the black spots left.
this is a beautiful clip,Michael looks and sounds incredible as usual.i love him so much and i miss him terribly.rest with jesus Michael,you will always be in my heart and memories.LOVING YOU ETERNALLY .
This was the "tribute show" to Sammy Davis Jr. Michael was at the height of his fame, at this point in time. Listen how the crowd responds to him. Its wonderful.
Such a beautiful voice. I could be having a terrible day and it literally melts my heart every time. I'm glad we have his music as a remembrance and how beautiful we can really be.
When he was a little boy he told an interviewer "If I don't mean it, I don't sing it. Well, he certainly meant this song. It was heartfelt and beautiful. I shed tears. Thank GOD for such a sensitive and creative soul. May something good happen to you.
the tape on the fingers is just one of many props MJ had. It was his "thing." and trust me, only he could do shit like that and everyone would think it was amazingly cool & legendary.
It amazes me that on each and every MJ vid one only has to stroll down 3 or 4 comments and finds one that starts with the goddamn crap talk again about the trial, he accusations, why he paid out etc. etc., why I cannot fathom for one minute would that even cross your minds when u just listened to such a heartfelt rendition of MJ's Tribute to Sammy Davis JR., I just can't get it. Can we all just move along and take in the most amazing, inspiring, humble lyrics by the great Michael J Jackson!
i just watch the replay of VMA 2009 and was very moved by Madonna's speech. It was the most truthful and most touching speech I have ever heard about him. She captured what the people are feeling now about his passing. I miss Michael Jackson soooo much!
So beautiful. Michael wrote this song and said he would never sing it again because it was "Sammy's Song."
i remember this night that michael sang this song to Sammy Davis Jr. My whole family watched it and I was glued to the tv!! I love this performance.
I'm not surprice that. I'm always glued to my pc screen when I watch some video with him. But this had to be something different.
LavenderBlue ar ya old?
Impossible to watch Michael here without be covered in goose bumps. His voice and his expressions are just wonderful. I already watched 1000 times and still have the same emotion...
such a angelic voice. I love and miss him dearly.
I always come back to see this moving tribute from Michael to Sammy Davis Jr. And each time I love Michael even more... He was incredible! He is irreplaceable.
hes so beautiful ugh holy shit why does he do this to me
"And THANKS to youuuuuu there's now a door we all walk through" love that part
MJ is forever young and beautiful!!! Whatever performance he did that was ALWAYS perfect, no doubt, because he put his soul in everything he did and he did it so professionally!!!! ABSOLUTELY GENIUS GORGEOUS AND INCOMPARABLE!!!!!!
awww, this was so beautiful, so simple yet so sweet... and this also makes me miss sammy davis jr. he was a gem also. both michael and sammy...very talented performers.
WOW!!!! Who in this planet can sing with this deep feelings?????????
Who in this planet can watch this without cry??
WONDERFUL MICHAEL!

RIP King of Pop.
So beautiful and magical...I love him too much.
il nous prouve encore une fois qu il est le meilleur artiste de tout les temps, merci , un grand prince une voix sublime en émotion.
The look on Sammie's face is PRICELESS!!! Such a beautiful and heartfelt tribute to the MAN, Sammie Davis! It brought tears to my eyes all over again! Michael put his heart and soul into this song. You can tell that he felt it way down deep, and was fighting back tears when he did his fierce pose! I loved them both, and they are sorely missed!!
"you took the hurt...you took the shame"
i am here because you were there!
man i miss you mike!!!! RIP my idol Michael Jackson!!! i love you!!
Michael never failed to wow the crowd,nometter what he did
Erin Stotler he would simply stand there and everyone went wild.
Michael always took the time to pay tribute and honor to those who paved the way for his career. He is perfection. I love you Michael and miss you so much...You are divine.
Sammy's face is priceless. You can tell is a beautiful performance when you get people caught up and emotional.
How so very appropriate a tribute this song is for the Great Sammy Davis Jr. I can feel the passion and gratitude Michael felt when singing it to him. It's so wonderful that God saw fit to have the two of them meet on earth during that space in time. God Bless You Sammy and Michael RIP

At the end when Sammy went on stage and hugged Michael. I think Sammy said " Thank you. I love you Mike." Beautiful. R.I.P. Miss you.
The two greatest entertainers who ever graced the planet !!! we were truly blessed !!!!! Thank you Sammy Davis Jr and Michael Jackson , we love you !!!!
I watched this on tv...back in the day!! ;)
Oh oh oh...whenever I see and hear this, the bottom of my soul gets touched..no-one can reach that deep, create and express such emotion as this kindhearted person, Michael Jackson.

Hes the definition of GENIUS.
Sammy's facial expression says more than a thousand words. Michael, bless your amazingly beautiful soul.
I so wish he released this song in studio CDQ. It's soo good & moving!
This performance shows why MJ is the Greatest Entertainer of All Time...rest in peace my beloved one.
That hand roll at 1:33.
So smooth and natural.
Historical ending too.
Unbelievably Beautiful! So much emotion, made me cry. Michael will never be forgotten.
he's so beautiful XD
that's a WONDERFUL song.. the emotion in his whole is so explicit!
It's almost operatic. And his walk--his body is amazing.
Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful!! *Tear*

MYYYYY ANGEEEELLL
Touching end with him and Sammy at the end. Very nice
Aw, it's Sammy Davis. I just fell in love with Sammy when I was a little girl and do to this day. I was so sad when I found out that he died.
Wow, this wonderful song, Michael's touching interpretation, his charisma and at last the great comments make me cry: I can feel his presence, his deep love and his joy about the fact that his message lives on.

That song itself is not perfect in my oppinion, but Michael gives it a charge and makes this song perfect.

I could watch and listen to this over and over. Michael's voice isnt the only thing that is captivating here, it's his expressions, his body language, so much passion in this song, genuine heartfelt passion. I couldnt love him any more if I tried.
FODASTICO
amazing i remember trying to watch this live on tv in a room full of haters, i'ts good to see it in peace, hit pause when mike hugs sammy at the end. . .two legends of showmanship.
This is november 13 , 1989
In 1991 he was totally white.
What happened in 1990??
***** it is not possible to remove pigment:P
it's 2014 almost 2015 people still wondering about michael's skin? he had a condition, a skin disease called vitiligo, if you (like many ignorant people) think he bleached his skin go searching for vitiligo videos on you tube. Vitiligo creates white spots on skin, they enlarge during the years. If first he used to cover the small white spots, after decades the white spots almost covered the whole body so he started to cover the black spots left.
His skin was pretty light here anyway. Vitiligo isn't curable, it just progresses over time so of course his skin would eventually all be white.
Excuse me but do you think we could stop talking about Michael Jackson's skin color?
SMXEUGAMING Yes it is.
this is a beautiful clip,Michael looks and sounds incredible as usual.i love him so much and i miss him terribly.rest with jesus Michael,you will always be in my heart and memories.LOVING YOU ETERNALLY .
This was the "tribute show" to Sammy Davis Jr. Michael was at the height of his fame, at this point in time. Listen how the crowd responds to him. Its wonderful.
the audience, the spotlights, and then the musics starts.. its magical.. and his voice gives me goosebumps.. what a great tribute!
Michael you are the most amazing man! There will never be anyone else like you my darling! I miss you so much...
he's a legend, unique and so much different from other people
Such a beautiful voice. I could be having a terrible day and it literally melts my heart every time. I'm glad we have his music as a remembrance and how beautiful we can really be.
i was looking at some HIStory concert videos and i just passed by this video. he looks the same. he was always right.
Woooo... what a lovely voice, Michael, sung very very well..... you always can make the songs and lyrics alive.....
he's so beautiful....
Stunning performance and Amazing Passion and feeling in his voice! Lovely! Thanks.
this is why I love Michael Jackson, just look at him!
rest both their souls,,sammy was a great talent ,,,,and michael adored him,,
When he was a little boy he told an interviewer "If I don't mean it, I don't sing it. Well, he certainly meant this song. It was heartfelt and beautiful. I shed tears. Thank GOD for such a sensitive and creative soul. May something good happen to you.
the tape on the fingers is just one of many props MJ had. It was his "thing." and trust me, only he could do shit like that and everyone would think it was amazingly cool & legendary.
Look at Sammys face and the way he hugs MIchael. You can see, that he is really touched! Lovely!
Took the breath right out of me...this was incredible..Michael Jackson IS definately the best thing to happen to the world! I will love him forever.
MJ sometimes the thought of you not here...hits me suddenly...and i feel desperately sad.
It amazes me that on each and every MJ vid one only has to stroll down 3 or 4 comments and finds one that starts with the goddamn crap talk again about the trial, he accusations, why he paid out etc. etc., why I cannot fathom for one minute would that even cross your minds when u just listened to such a heartfelt rendition of MJ's Tribute to Sammy Davis JR., I just can't get it.
