i don't know if his daughter knows this very poignant story about him coming to Baltimore 3 times during his run in Golden Boy, to cheer up my neighbors 12 year old daughter, who had lost an eye to a tumor. In my opinion, he saved her life, HE IS A PERSONAL HERO OF MINE.
On November 2, 2020 Tracy Davis passed at the age of 59. I’m glad she got a chance to write her book and do this interview. R.I.P. to her and her father. Peace
I lived across the street in Tahoe across from Tracy, her brother's Mark and Jeff, and of course their mom, who still went by Mai Davis even though by then she was divorced. A great mom and very generous woman.
I went to school with Jeff Davis and Tracy, at Zephyr Cove, in Tahoe. Mrs, Davis went on all of our class field trips. I had no clue Mrs,. Davis had been an actress until I became an adult. She dressed in a blouse and jeans, with a bandana on her head like all the mom's that came on these class trips. It's kind of neat to go on the internet and get a peak at what people look like as adults that you went to school with. And good job on the book Tracy.
In 1972 or 71 the Sheriton Waikiki had its grand opening and I lived in Waikiki and was 16 yrs. old. I was checking the place out just walking through and rode an escalator up to the second level where the ballrooms were and Sammy Davis Jr. was performing. I had no ticket but slipped in sideways through the waitresses entrance and watched the master. His voice was and is the strongest most charismatic in the Industry. Wow is all I could say and of course George, his arranger was on piano. He actually sang 'Paint It Black ' by "two of my best friends, Mick Jagger and Mr.Keith Richards". That's the truth, how cool !
Thank you so much for this! I have wondered what happened to Tracey - who I remember from decades ago. Sammy had written a book that I still have - it has fallen apart because I've re-read it, over and over - and it has been one of my cherished possessions. With all of the traveling that our family has done through the years, it has suffered from the jolts of moving. I adored Sammy and Mai together. It was PERSONAL for me to see them together. The courage that they displayed.....you don't even KNOW. God bless Tracey. She has turned into a remarkable woman. I am SO happy to hear about this book :)
Sammy hated that song and his was his only No. 1 hit. Go figure. I loved his version of I've Gotta Be Me. He sang that with such conviction. He was super talented.
Not a great interviewer . She could have asked Tracey a lot more interesting questions with almost 5 minutes. Sounds like a good book. Tracey did well on her end.
The interviewer was the worst! She couldn’t remember her mother’s name. She fumbled the question about the 24th death anniversary correlating with the release of the book.
I met sammy in Los Angelis in 1983 on Radeo Dr. There were just a few people that approached him and ooooooh myyyyyyy...he was aloof, standoffish and very cruel. He told us to take a hike and let me say that we were not swarming him, if anything we were being very respectful of his privacy and he just dismissed us which I remember not being more than 5 people . He crushed the love and respect we had for him.
RIP👑🏆⭐🌺🌼🌺 SAMMY DAVIS JR. 0H B0UY , I L0VE THE S0NG AWES0ME THE CANDYMAN ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🎤 P.S. THANK Y0U TRACY DAVIS SHARRING Y0UR WONDERFUL J0URNEY WITH M0M AND DAD BY THE WAY , MR. B0JANGLES IS 0UT 0F THIS W0RLD !
So proud of his Afro/Cuban/Spanish roots. I met him in person when I worked at Caesar’s Palace, with Frank Sinatra. His talent and voice were incredible. Seen the Rat Pack, they were funny, specially Dean was always drunk. Those were the great Las Vegas day. (Nancy)
He didn’t speak of his Cuban roots because his mother abandoned him. He said he never knew his mother until he got out of the army. Sammy was raised by his Black American father and grandmother Rosa Davis(on his dad’s side).
Tracey`s mother was a beautiful young actress Mai Britt from Sweden, who made her name in the re-make movie The Blue Angel, a lady who did not deserve this kind of treatment.
Oh I remember Mai Britt. Sammy Davis' marriage to her really caused HEADLINES. Especially so because Mai Britt was pretty snd quit a few white guys liked her and resented her being with Sammy Davis Jr.
It does not get better than this incredible man I never did see color in this man all I saw was Sammy truly the greatest entertainer in the world , Frank was the greatest singer Elvis and Michael also fantastic but Sammy had every inch of talent a person can have .
I want to find this book and read it. !!!!!🤗👍🏼😁 What great Stories to be told by his daughter about this Iconic beautiful man !!! ♥️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️♥️♥️♥️♥️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😀
Sammy Davis Jr ,fue un datado Maximo por dios .El mejor Showman y aún lo es !!

Era increíble !! Es y era admirado por los grandes artista , como por ejemplo , Michael Jackson , James brown,Fran Sinatra , etc.algunos de los pasos que Sammy hacia cuando bailaba tap, fueron usados por James brown y Michael . !!! Sammy logra su cometido y misión , entretener de la mejor forma a la gente en todo el mundo !!! Gracias Sammy Davis jr.🤗😘🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
It took her 2 decades to write and publish the book because his estate was mired in legal entanglements for so long. Davis earned 50 million dollars during his 6 decade career but was such a bad businessman, he died penniless , owing the IRS 7 million in back payments. Tragic.
She recently passed away Sammy's daughter. R.I.P. WITH YOUR DAD GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL she passed away in Tennessee at the young age of 59 . 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Meaning how the people around him knew he was ill and the looted his home is last wife took everything stole from him his friends and family took all his painting and when he died his wife took his glass eye sold it. Imagine you want to live the doctor said u have cancer we can take it out if your throat meaning you want be able to sing and if he can not sing meaning no money lose his home where was his family and friends to take that problem away
*That's not true! Sammy was an alcoholic and still struggled with drug use near the end. His last wife took care of him throughout this tough and embarrassing time.* SAMMY HAD BORROWED FROM THE CASINOS he worked for to pay for drugs and his jewelry and lavish appearances. He died in debt to shadey folks and the IRS. His last wife had nothing in the end.
What brought me here was a Late Night Movie, The Young Lions, 1958, which included a very sultry May Brit (Tracy’s mom) as a German political wife. She did fantastic in this role, and I am quite sure she could have been a force in Hollywood had she not opted to devote herself to raising those three kids as normally as possible. It kinda irks me, all the accolades about Sammy. I mean, yes, of course, he was very talented. But it was May, who did the important work! Does anyone know what Tracy died of? Age 59 is very young….
denise yes Mark looks just like him, I don't understand how the DNA didn't say he was Sammy's , but if you look at her face in this video, she has his facial shape , mouth... they should have straightened this out before he died, because it's sad these adults will always have questions regarding their parentage. If Mai Britt knows I hope she tells the truth before she passes . Sammy I'm sure was having so much blood work, it would have been easy to DNA test them all...Paternity testing was available in 1990
What Sammy Davis Jr, Mai Britt, their family and countless others had to endure was not that long ago and it was all due to racism. A lot of it was normalized, institutionalized and still exists today. But I love how this book brings back that sophisticated swinging time.
You need to get over the racism thing… it ended in the 70’s. Bury it THERE. I know. I was there, and things are NOTHING like those days now. So get OVER IT. The only racism NOW? (21st century) Is BITTER, revengeful, vile people who only want something, Anything, to keep whining about and hating on each other and to split up the USA. Instead of working and Problem Solving like we all need to.
Sorry, this is not the real Tracey Davis, daughter of Sammy Davis, Jr. The real Tracey was my next door neighboer for a few years in Simi Valley California, and my daughter Tara, who was about four years old at the time Sam (son) was born, use to pretend babysit for Tracey and Guy (her husband at the time). The Tracey I remember from thirty years ago was a very petite woman who (face) was a spitting image of her father Sammy Davis Jr. I doubt that I will get any response to this. My daughter, is still friends with Sam (the grandson) all these years later.
Don't know what looks "mixed" about her hair. Looks straight out Swedish. It was dark when she was younger. Everybody's going blond these days. She was very cute as a little kid though.
mixed kids have black peoples kinky hair will you people stop the lies. look at meghan markle with all her millions, her hair is a stringy disaster. always unkempt, sloppy looking, anyway this woman is no daughter of sammy davis.
Sammy wan't an original member of the ratpack. It would seem. According to Stephen Bogart, the original members of the Holmby Hills Rat Pack were Frank Sinatra (pack master), Judy Garland (first vice-president), Sid Luft (cage master), Bogart (rat in charge of public relations), Swifty Lazar (recording secretary and treasurer), Nathaniel Benchley (historian), David Niven, Katharine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, George Cukor, Cary Grant, Rex Harrison, and Jimmy Van Heusen. - Wikipedia
Interracial marriage is wrong and it's a shame her mother had to lose her career because she made a mistake. Sammy Davis, Jr had an ongoing affair for years with Lola Falana which is what caused her parents divorce. Interracial marriage does not work. And it's also worth mentioned Tracey died young, too. No cause of death has been released.
sHERREE LANGLEY My two words were not directed to you. I just wanted to know the reason behind "selfish." In those days you had to be brave to marry a person of color, the truth be told. I asked "how come" referring to that persons comment of their being selfish. They were in love what is selfish about that? There was no bravery in referring back to you!
my father seen him in las Vegas in the 60s said he has never seen such a talented man in all his life! so sorry I never got to experience that! I know how difficult it was for him in those day's enough said thank God we've moved on from that! truly wonderful man and gr8 advocate for entertainment a true trooper! God Bless his family u must be soo proud if him!
Sammy Davis was not born in Africa, nor were his parents, so he is not African. Most Black men like pro sports players, actors, etc. were introduced to white women to keep the money in the white community. They we're afraid that if a Black man with wealth married a Black woman, they would share the wealth with other Black people. Watch interviews with Magic Johnson. They would not let him invest in Chicago, but they finally let him and his group invest in radio stations. So he bought as many as he could. Sidney Poitier, Harry Belafonte, Mike Singletary, OJ Simpson, Don Cornelius, etc. married to white women, who have control over their wealth.
They are not hybrids, they are human beings. Genetic Biologists found that one single group of 55 chimpanzees in west Africa has twice the genetic variability of all humans...including you. Say hello to your cousin ☺
i don't know if his daughter knows this very poignant story about him coming to Baltimore 3 times during his run in Golden Boy, to cheer up my neighbors 12 year old daughter, who had lost an eye to a tumor. In my opinion, he saved her life, HE IS A PERSONAL HERO OF MINE.

Does she mention in her book her father's affair with Lola Falana that broke up the marriage?
Sammy was such a supremely talented man! Dancer, singer, actor, comic, impressionist, and gentleman!
Yes! One of the greatest entertainers in history.
She looks just like her Father
I lived across the street in Tahoe across from Tracy, her brother's Mark and Jeff, and of course their mom, who still went by Mai Davis even though by then she was divorced. A great mom and very generous woman.
Jeff Conway: Isn't it "May"?
Jeff Conaway from Taxi died @Paolo DiGiorno
@@elizabethblake1140 - I remembered the same thing but when I googled, it said "May." Maybe she changed it? Anyway, she's currently still alive!
Elizabeth Blake : Yes, it is. Spelled like’May’ but pronounced ‘My’. She’s from Sweden. Her whole name is Maybritt Wilkensen.
And Sammy Davis had an affair with Lola Falana, which caused the divorce. Interracial marriage is a bad idea.
I went to school with Jeff Davis and Tracy, at Zephyr Cove, in Tahoe.
Mrs, Davis went on all of our class field trips.
I had no clue Mrs,. Davis had been an actress until I became an adult. She dressed in a blouse and jeans, with a bandana on her head like all the mom's that came on these class trips.
It's kind of neat to go on the internet and get a peak at what people look like as adults that you went to school with.
And good job on the book Tracy.
In 1972 or 71 the Sheriton Waikiki had its grand opening and I lived in Waikiki and was 16 yrs. old. I was checking the place out just walking through and rode an escalator up to the second level where the ballrooms were and Sammy Davis Jr. was performing. I had no ticket but slipped in sideways through the waitresses entrance and watched the master. His voice was and is the strongest most charismatic in the Industry. Wow is all I could say and of course George, his arranger was on piano. He actually sang 'Paint It Black ' by "two of my best friends, Mick Jagger and Mr.Keith Richards".
That's the truth, how cool !
Thank you so much for this! I have wondered what happened to Tracey - who I remember from decades ago. Sammy had written a book that I still have - it has fallen apart because I've re-read it, over and over - and it has been one of my cherished possessions.

Thank you Tracy, Everytime I go to Vegas I think of your dad. Favorite song from him is The Candy man.
Candy Man is one of my favorites too, but I love Mr. Bojangles. It can bring me to tears even today when I hear it.
Sammy hated that song and his was his only No. 1 hit. Go figure. I loved his version of I've Gotta Be Me. He sang that with such conviction. He was super talented.
