I remember Sammy Davis Jr and Dean Martin from Cannonball 1&2. Only after I grew up did I realize how great an entertainer Sammy was. Frank was in Cannonball 2 with him to.
One of the most talented people ever born. He started dancing when he was 5 performing on street corners for spare change. He sings, he dances, he plays half a dozen instruments, he acts and he got married many, many times too
Started when he was 3. Passed away at 63 with 60 years of service to the world. Being a member of the Mastin family I'm fortunate enough the be a Golden Key holder to his grave site at Forest Lawn. He truly was the greatest and thankfully for TH-cam his spirit is alive and well. Before Elvis, Liberace, Cher, Madonna, etc., the original one name act was SAMMY!
Its a shame this generation only remembers Sammy Davis from the Rat Pack (where he wasn't given much to do), Candy Man or sitcoms. Here's a dance performance from a Royal Command Performance with Lionel Blair that shows Sammy as a dancer. th-cam.com/video/P6Q3KA1ewKk/w-d-xo.html
There are two videos you might want to consider, Sammy's West Side Story medley don with only voice and bongos th-cam.com/video/z9R1sjvMifI/w-d-xo.html or Bang Bang from Robin and the 7 Hoods for dancing. th-cam.com/video/W3ajdwLBkIo/w-d-xo.html
Why are you so surprised by Sammy Davis ,it said that he could play any instrument. He able to do impressions, dance in short one of the greatest entertainmenters.
He is a national treasure
Great reaction showcasing a lot of what Sammie could do. Most people only react to him singing Mr Bojangles

Who knew Sammy Davis jr. Had Prince skills
I never knew he played the drums, thought Sammy Davis was just an actor and a singer
