This man is an underrated legend. He clawed and earned his flowers, in spite of everything stacked against him, and he was immensely talented while doing it.
I agree Sammy was totally amazing. But I don't think he was underrated, he was a legend all over the world Wherever he went he was always booked out. EVERYWHERE. He was absolutely adored.❤
@@trishlangford5773 when he dated a white woman, there were hits put on his life. When he married a white woman, JFK denounced his marriage publicly. Sammy suffered immense financial lost because of his interracial marriage. He eventually got told to divorce this woman. She was told as well, because she was a famous actress. They divorced and Sammy was forced to marry a black woman. He fell into alcoholism. He lived a life that was not his own, because of peoples prejudices
Yes, Elvis did all of those things. I forgot to mention Prince, who did all of those things well, except for impressions. Sammy wasn't the greatest at that.

Him and Jamie Foxx are the best because they did it All. Sing dance play music and are great comedians just my thoughts. Ijs. Peace love and Life ❤️ ASE'
The original interviewer was late to the taping of this interview so they used a body double and overdubbed his voice after the interview was done. That's why you notice they only show the body double from behind and never show the interviewers face

Thank you sammy
Sam the best period.
secret do being a great interviewer- say Ummm Hmmm, no less that 37 times
The book ( Deconstructing Sammy ) covers this very well 👌
Old school man!
The book should be called Why did Frank SInatra slap me around and humiliate me😅😅😅😅
If I’m not mistaken, I believe Frank Sinatra befriended Sammy Davis Jr.
Yes he did.
Everybody loved Sammy. There was great mutual admiration and friendship between Elvis Presley and Sammy. The two men genuinely loved each other.
Gone too soon.
A 180 Sammy. LOL.
the different between him and james brown...do sammy have soul? yes he do
🐕💚🍕 dogs like pizza 👺 rats like cheese 🐀💚🧀 🐻 trumpy bear and kellyanne in 2024 🇺🇸
did he discuss in his book his bi-sexuality and pornography obsession/porn movie hoarding?
What does him being bisexual got to do with this? It's not like being bi is a choice or addiction
@@finderkeeperrrswell said. Unlike the OP, with a handle like that. Total closet case, I bet lol
@@makthnife I believe you when you said total closet case lol
You preoccupied with what people do with their genitals? Reducing a human being to their sexuality is to invalidate them by 99%.
