This man opened doors for black performers! He sang, danced and had an amazing voice. He did all of it with one eye! He lost it in an accident I believe. Song is about a man struggling in the prejudice south who was so talented he became famous…
I love Sammy Davis JR. Mad respect for him. His voice was like velvet and he was so entertaining in lots of ways. Great actor and so funny and a great tap dancer.
Mr. Bojangles was a great tap dancer ( as was Sammy). He went through the time in vaudeville when things were very racist. He was talented and was sad that as he got older people forgot him.
Love Sammy Davis Jr. He is a LEGEND. He deserves and has earned respect. I usually really like your videos, and I am sure I will again, but this was hard to watch.
Bojangles was a famous black tap dancer from vaudeville era . Learn your history young brothers. Sammy was paying homage to him thru this song basically hes telling the man's story. As a matter of fact Sammy Davis Jr also influenced MJ. Also SD was a hellava tap dancer
Learn the songs history. This song is not about Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. Robinson never spent one second in any jail. This song is about a down and out white man. The song was written by a white man. During that time, white and Black men would not have shared a jail cell in New Orleans, it would have been against the law to put them in the same cell together. Bill "Bojangles" was a highly paid star of stage and film, he was never down and out, nor was he a drunk who would have been in a drunk tank in some local jail. He certainly didn't dance for drinks and tips.
Big big presence in the world of entertainment, and a massive talent from early childhood. Was part of the original Brat Pack with Frank Sinatra etc. The original Ocean's 11 and so so so much more. He could do everything comedy and drama, dance and song. He started on street corners tapdancing at like 6 years old and made it to the damn top with talent talent talent and hard work. Look him up.
The Rat Pack was actually formed by Humphrey Bogart in the late 40's and later on Frank Sinatra assumed the Chairman of the Board title. Frank certainly knew that Sammy was the greatest talent out there and it was a no brainer to bring him into it. He actually met Sammy before he was part of the pack.
Sammy was a singer, tsp dancer, movie star and night club performer. He started entertaining when was he was 6 years old. He became part of the Hollywood Rat Pack who entertained millions in Las Vegas. He had a glass eye and he had a small stature.
Sammy Davis Jr was a great entertainer. He could sing, dance, act, play the drums. He was part of the famous Rat Pack back in the 1950's, 1960's and beyond. The Rat Pack was legendary and included Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop, Peter Lawford. They ruled the Las Vegas strip for decades. They made the original movie "Oceans Eleven", which has been redone by other stars. There is a great version of this song by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band in 1970 which was a top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. The song is the story of an old man who danced in minstrel shows and had a tough life during the early part of the 20th century. Listen to the lyrics. They tell a story.
This guy has more talent in his thumbs than anyone you guys have ever seen. He's nigh 60 here and he died about 7 years after ths, he was not in good shape here. Most modern music is sheet.
Sammy was a Legend.... He's telling a story through song. It's not always about the bells and whistles... So sad to hear you guys weren't Into the performance. I'm not old, but was raised always hearing about the the icons and legends like Sammy and Frank and Dean etc... Sammy was a trailblazer in a era & genre that wasn't always easy for black entertainers. So even though you don't like this performance, you really should catch a couple of documentaries about his life. . A story in black, as well as entertainment history that everyone should know regardless of what age ♡
Those little "step moves" and the hat ...don't they kinda remind you of someone else? Do the initials MJ mean anything to you? Yes Michael...he also used some of the same moves in his performances as well as a hat. Just remember that the music back then was the forerunner for the music today and deserves it's due. The song Mr. Bojangles is a story and shouldn't be rushed. It is a famous song and has been sung by numerous artists through the year. Keep an open mind!
Look Sammy Davis Jr. Up He could sing dance play instrumentsAS YOUNG MAN HE OPEN UP DOORS FOR BLACK ENTERTAINERS,Your Black music history HE WAS MORE OF JAZZY STANDARD MUSIC
My young brothers, the wonderful thing in life is that as long as you stay alive, you evolve. I hope 30 years from now, you’d look at this video again, I promise that you will appreciate every single move he made. Thanks for reacting to one of the greatest entertainers.
If you want to hear and see Sammy at his best check out him singing , I've Gotta Be Me and, Bang, Bang, Bang! from the movie Robin and the 7 Hoods. His dancing is phenomenal in that. Another movie where he gives his all is, Sweet Charity, the song is called The Rhythm of Life. He was an amazing talent.
Sammy Davis Jr. was a legendary singer, dancer, musician, and actor. My recommendation to you brothers is to research artists you have never heard of before you react to them. I can tell you Michael Jackson credited Sammy as one of his influencers, and he didn't fall asleep watching him. He learned from him. True, Davis Jr. was from a different era, but he didn't have to cuss, have half naked women, or elaborate staging to entertain an audience.
This generation will never never understand how big Sammy Davis jr. Were the people don't give you the title the world greatest entertainer for nothing I was born in 1983 and I am a huge Sammy Davis jr. Fan these youngsters don't know by time 85 rolls around Sammy Davis jr. Was winding down he had been doing it since the 30s
You need to brush up on more Sammy when he was younger as he did it all and broke down a lot of barriers for black entertainers. Michael Jackson even wrote a song called Because of You that he sung at Sammy's 60th anniversary special. Gregory Hines had a little dance off with him in the same show and kissed Sammy's feet because of doors he opened for the future generations. Even up until his death he was a better singer than most out there today.
He was a true star. Had a difficult time before hooking up with Frank Sinatra and the rest of the rat pack. He basically said if Sammy can't perform here I won't either. He really did a lot to help bring racism into the light for what it was.
Sammy Davis helped pave the way so you guys are sitting there today. The tale of Mr Bojangles is a sad one and he too faced the same racism that Sammy did...even with his Brat Pack association... x I wished you listened to the lyrics a bit closer x
I wish you guys would have just watched and taken it in instead of stopping it and making silly comments. I understand why you may not get it but Sammy Davis Jnr. is a legend and doesn't deserve the disrespect. You guys disappointed me.
Your wrong. This song is not about Bill "Bojangles" Robinson.This song is not about Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. Robinson never spent one second in any jail. This song is about a down and out white man. The song was written by a white man. During that time, white and Black men would not have shared a jail cell in New Orleans, it would have been against the law to put them in the same cell together. Bill "Bojangles" was a highly paid star of stage and film, he was never down and out, nor was he a drunk who would have been in a drunk tank in some local jail. He certainly didn't dance for drinks and tips.
Clearly this is beyond your reach or grasp of music/entertainment. Keep in mind that was a room full of Germans and they understood the song. The song was written in the late 60's and Sammy had recorded it around 1969. Sammy was 59 years old at the time of this performance and dead of cancer 5 years after. A great tap dancer, drummer, pianist, actor and singer. Look him up. Most of these performancers today can't compete with him.
Sammy Davis Jrs health was not at his best here. He only lived 5 more years after this. He was still good here, but in his prime he was AWSOME. Multitalented entertainer, he could do it all...
He started performing st s very young age, along eith his father and uncle. He was in a group of welknown entertainers, including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Joey Bishop, and Peter Lawford called The Rat Pack.
I loved the rock music of this era but we also liked Sammy, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin (Rat Pack). Hey check out Sammy go up against Archie Bunker on All in the Family. Sammy gets the final word & it is hilarious.
Sammy started entertaining at the age of 4 "He was only 4 when he joined his family in their vaudeville act." On TH-cam somewhere you can see him singing and Tap dancing in a movie back in the 1920s or 30s. If it is still on youtube.
The song was orginally performed by the Nitty Gritty Earth Band. The reason why it means something to Sammy Davis Jr. is that he started performing in the "minstrel shows" as a child. Sammy Davis was a member of Frank Sinatra's Rat Pack and because of the two of them increased the rights of black people. Sammy Davis often performed with Frank Sinatra. The major hotels that booked him didn't want him entering through the front door. On more than one occasion Sinatra refused to perform unless Sammy Davis was treated with the proper respect. I was not fond of this presentation of the song which is great. For whistling listen to Mexican Whistler by Roger Whittaker
Song was written and recorded by Jerry Jeff Walker in 1968 then the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band recorded it in 1970 and that is in my opinion the best version . Sammy recorded it in 1972 and it became a bit of a signature song for him.
Sammy was 60 years old in the video. I think you need to show some respect. His music will be played long after today's pretenders names have disappeared. He is singing without autotune or any other enhancements. You are seeing real music. Actually you are the only reactors on TH-cam who don't get real music. There a many your age who love his music including this song. If you listen with your ears instead of your mouth you might learn something.
He is talking about an old black man who performed in the 20s, 30s, 40s, (who performed in shows called minstrels) where the actors, black and white performef in "blackface" Those performers sang, danced, (ap), etc. GUYS he was portraying that old black man!!!
Gentlemen Bill Robinson( 5/25/1878-11/25/1949) was dubbed " Bojangles " check out the 2001 movie staring Gregory Hines(2/14/1946-8/9/2003) But this song has nothing to do with that movie, the song was written by Jerry Jeff Walker of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is completely fictional. Sammy took the song and made it his it his own. There's even a video of Walker singing the song. Fellas you, are looking at musical history .
I know everyone thinks Sinatra when talking bout the rat pack, but honestly I think of Sammy and Dino first. All had great talent, but those two performers, entertainers really are who I would want to hang out with.
Sammy Davis Jr. is an original GOAT, and it's a shame you did not take the time to LISTEN but instead made fun of him down to the part in his hair. I had just stumbled upon your channel, and this was my 2nd time listening and watching you. It was painful, to say the least. Perhaps I should just move on in disgust?
I think of all that others went through to make today possible. Maybe it is good you do not know history, but start with checking out minstrel shows and their role in the evolution of American popular entertainment. It might help you understand why Bojangles now dances for drinks and tips and why he drinks a bit. So many went through so much. Keep striving for growth.
Maybe your generation needs to slow down a bit! Not everything has to be fast and make no sense! Sammy Davis Jr was telling a very heart felt story! Really pisses me off that the talent we had back in day compared to now and you guys just make fun because it's not fast enough for you🤦. Try the movie Tap with Sammy Davis Jr
🤷🏽♀️How ya’ll gonna try to analyze a song before it could even complete its initial first statement? 😅 I highly recommend getting to know yourselves some history. Right now the talent and story seems wasted on ya’ll. I was born in 85 so I can’t even blame it on your age.
Maybe if you did a little research on these old songs you’d have better understanding and perhaps respect for what Sammy Davis Jr was doing. He was giving generations of us a history lesson. Respect.
Sadly you two are the only reactors who completely fail to see you are looking at entertainment royalty putting on a masterful performance. This song and tells a story, if you're a poor reader and you reading comprehension is sub-par, you'll have difficulty understanding a song that tells a story. The fact that you know nothing about this man is a sad indictment on your parents who have failed to educate you about our history. Sammy was a star of the stage, film and recorded music. He was a philanthropist and active in the struggle for Civil Rights for Black Americans in this country. You should be ashamed for not knowing who this man was. I hope you'll read this and then do some research on and educate yourself the way Sammy did. Yes, the way Sammy did, he was self-educated having never attended any formal school, nor was he home-schooled. In fact, when he entered the U. S. Army, he was unable to read or write.
You should give Sammy Davis Jr. Some respect. This days where that music and the movies bore you and put you to sleep were some hard humiliating times for black people to struggle through and still hold their heads up and become successful and make it big. People like them fought through it, too bad you don't give them thanks instead of ragging on them.
How shamefully disrespectful. You should be ashsmed of your behavior. It is okay not to like a performance. Howev, your response was insulting. BTW, Mr. Davis was one of MJ' heroes.
Yes, Sammy was very talented, but this was boring to me too. I like your comments because that is how you really feel in the moment. You don’t know him and why would you? Heck, I remember seeing him as a kid and I just turned 63. That’s why I watch you guys. I think your comments are spot on, no matter how silly others think they are. They are honest. this is new to you and you’re certainly not faking a reaction. But, please find more of Sammy so you can see his talent in singing, dancing, comedy, acting. He did it all. As we continue to watch and learn and see the talent, we gain appreciation and respect for what others do/have done. Btw, you don’t have to like. I don’t like some classical music and other stuff no matter how good it is.
This man opened doors for black performers! He sang, danced and had an amazing voice. He did all of it with one eye! He lost it in an accident I believe. Song is about a man struggling in the prejudice south who was so talented he became famous…
This man had more talent in one finger than every rapper on the planet since
Sammy was an AWESOME dancer! He was a GREAT talent, singer, dancer, actor etc...love him! 💞
I love Sammy Davis JR. Mad respect for him. His voice was like velvet and he was so entertaining in lots of ways. Great actor and so funny and a great tap dancer.

...same first name but mines spelled joleen! 🙌
This song is not about Bill "Bojangles" Robinson.

It's about a Dancer who's at the End of His Career Some say it was Himself.
Sammy was a Legend.... He's telling a story through song. It's not always about the bells and whistles...
So sad to hear you guys weren't Into the performance. I'm not old, but was raised always hearing about the the icons and legends like Sammy and Frank and Dean etc...

He could do it all!!
Bojangels was a great entertainer. This was a great iconic song for him.
He is GOAT.
HIM and Sinatra and Dean Martin...WOW.
GOD BLESS SAMMY.
Sammy Davis Jr was multi-talented. A great entertainer. Very charasmatic. I like your hair cut.
Look Sammy Davis Jr. Up He could sing dance play instrumentsAS YOUNG MAN HE OPEN UP DOORS FOR BLACK ENTERTAINERS,Your Black music history HE WAS MORE OF JAZZY STANDARD MUSIC

Legends do not deserve being snickered at !
Sammy Davis Jr. was a legendary singer, dancer, musician, and actor. My recommendation to you brothers is to research artists you have never heard of before you react to them.

True, Davis Jr. was from a different era, but he didn't have to cuss, have half naked women, or elaborate staging to entertain an audience.
Facts!
Man...yall did Sammy dirty here. Dude was a legend.
The master tier element of this performance is how captivating it is. You wont find a performer today who can captivate an audience like this.
Obviously, modern singers, are sampling music from yesterday for a reason.
This is talent right here. You don't know your music history. 🤗
adored Sammy , and when he was with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin , they were the best of friends and Singers , loved hearing them
England adored him
This generation will never never understand how big Sammy Davis jr. Were the people don't give you the title the world greatest entertainer for nothing I was born in 1983 and I am a huge Sammy Davis jr. Fan these youngsters don't know by time 85 rolls around Sammy Davis jr. Was winding down he had been doing it since the 30s
No Respect!
Respect the Stars, the Showmen and their time!
Make no mistake about it, in fifty years people are going to be laughing at the way you looked and what you listened to.
You need to brush up on more Sammy when he was younger as he did it all and broke down a lot of barriers for black entertainers.

I love Sammy🌱💛 I really like his song The Candy Man Can
He was a true star. Had a difficult time before hooking up with Frank Sinatra and the rest of the rat pack. He basically said if Sammy can't perform here I won't either. He really did a lot to help bring racism into the light for what it was.

You see his perm? Lol! Redd Foxx (Sanford and Son) use to call this fried, dyed and laid to side. 🤣
I wish you guys would have just watched and taken it in instead of stopping it and making silly comments. I understand why you may not get it but Sammy Davis Jnr. is a legend and doesn't deserve the disrespect. You guys disappointed me.
William "Bojangles" Robinson was active in films in the 1930's. He danced with child actress Shirley Temple in the movie " The Littlest Colonel".
Your wrong. This song is not about Bill "Bojangles" Robinson.This song is not about Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. Robinson never spent one second in any jail.

Listen to the story it’s true Sammy paid mad respect.

Hopefully you two will develop an appreciation for talent
My favourite version of this song is by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band ….. you should check out some of their stuff they are an awesome band
You should also check out his song “The Candy Man”.
More like Michaael Jackson is like Sammy. MJ was inspired by many brilliant performers. Shalom.
Love the Queen poster on your wall!! 💕💕
He started performing st s very young age, along eith his father and uncle. He was in a group of welknown entertainers, including Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Joey Bishop, and Peter Lawford called The Rat Pack.

No he isn't, this song was written about a white man.
This guy put black people on the map. Show some respect
This song was written by country singer Jerry Jeff Walker. He wrote it about a man he was in jail with
I am young, but I am so glad I enjoy this type of music.
These two cats don’t know what time it is! Sammy!
Nice to see you discovering Sammy Davis.
Gentlemen Bill Robinson( 5/25/1878-11/25/1949) was dubbed " Bojangles " check out the 2001 movie staring Gregory Hines(2/14/1946-8/9/2003) But this song has nothing to do with that movie, the song was written by Jerry Jeff Walker of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is completely fictional. Sammy took the song and made it his it his own. There's even a video of Walker singing the song. Fellas you, are looking at musical history .
I know everyone thinks Sinatra when talking bout the rat pack, but honestly I think of Sammy and Dino first. All had great talent, but those two performers, entertainers really are who I would want to hang out with.
I hope you young men when you get a little older revisit this song. Oh also, Michael Jackson was inspired by James Brown and Mr. Sammy Davis Jr.
Sammy Davis Jr. is an original GOAT, and it's a shame you did not take the time to LISTEN but instead made fun of him down to the part in his hair. I had just stumbled upon your channel, and this was my 2nd time listening and watching you. It was painful, to say the least. Perhaps I should just move on in disgust?
It's a shame you didn't listen or understand the story
Try "Birth of the Blues" by SDJ.
I think of all that others went through to make today possible. Maybe it is good you do not know history, but start with checking out minstrel shows and their role in the evolution of American popular entertainment. It might help you understand why Bojangles now dances for drinks and tips and why he drinks a bit. So many went through so much. Keep striving for growth.
I used to like to see him sing and dance. I've seen him do this song but he did a lot of dancing. Maybe bc he had gotten old he didn't do his dances
Maybe your generation needs to slow down a bit! Not everything has to be fast and make no sense! Sammy Davis Jr was telling a very heart felt story! Really pisses me off that the talent we had back in day compared to now and you guys just make fun because it's not fast enough for you🤦. Try the movie Tap with Sammy Davis Jr
Of the Rat Pack he was the best . He will always be the greatest.
You guys should show a little more respect, just for sake the of showing respect.
🤷🏽♀️How ya’ll gonna try to analyze a song before it could even complete its initial first statement? 😅 I highly recommend getting to know yourselves some history. Right now the talent and story seems wasted on ya’ll. I was born in 85 so I can’t even blame it on your age.
God, I feel SO sorry for you guys. Maybe one day if you live long enough and mature enough, you'll understand why.
Maybe if you did a little research on these old songs you’d have better understanding and perhaps respect for what Sammy Davis Jr was doing. He was giving generations of us a history lesson. Respect.
Where do you think MJ got the idea for a top hat?
Love you men!
See his documentary
Sadly you two are the only reactors who completely fail to see you are looking at entertainment royalty putting on a masterful performance.
