With all my love for Frank Sinatra, I have to admit that Sammy Davis was arguably the best of the whole Rat Pack, the most complete. He knew how to do everything! And he knew how to do it splendidly
Umm what's not to stand? Talent or your jealousy?? Bahaha..who in all the world listens and comments a musician they don't like? I get it..your sarcastic! I love this man so much I can't stand it! Love, love you! 💌🇺🇸♥️🤍💙💃💋.
A little white girl in '71 just 5 yrs old...walked up to stage and received Sammy's autograph at the Circle Star Theatre...still have the booklet he signed. Someone out there has a pic of myself and Sammy. No bar, best memory of my childhood!!!
Circle Star Theater in San Carlos, California was the best place to see all those fantastic performers!!! And best you were up close to them while they were performers! I sure miss those days back in the 80s and 90s. They were the best!!😊
Ra HoWa NOBODY goes to a live show excepting to see the songs sung exactly how they were recorded.... unless you listen to rap, where they just play the recorded version and let the performer sing over it.
Who's here in September 2024? I was only six years old when this song was released and I remember me and my mother used to sing it together. Such wonderful memories, I just love Sammy Davis Junior. He was amazing.❤❤❤
One of my most concrete memories is when my grandparents lived in a caravan about 2 hours from me, and on a weekend my granddad (who worked round me still) would drive back home to caravan, so I’d go with him, and on those long drives, we would have this on repeat, one of the things me and him bonded with was loving this and how it was the first time we both tapped and sang together, sometimes it takes stuff like a song to realise that when someone’s gone, you will miss them more than anything, I’m so not ready to lose my granddad for memories like this
I was a little white girl when he was having his comeback. I absolutely adored him. If he was going to be on a show, I'd sit there waiting for him to come on. I especially loved it when he danced. It was one of the reasons I took tap lessons. I will always have fond memories of Sammy. One of the best all around performers ever.
Fun fact: Sammy Davis Jr addition for the shop keeper in the candy store For Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory. But the director and producers didn't want someone famous playing the part so they turned him down. Which is why as you see he sang even though he never got the part.
Sammy Davis, Jr. had a hit with this song at a time when most hitmakers were half to two-thirds his age. And here he's having loads of fun with it more than a decade later. A true class act!
Agreed Mad Maxxxxxxx. It used to be all about the audience when great performers stepped out on stage. They were grateful for their audiences that helped make them. Now it's all about themselves. They feel like the audience should be grateful to be graced with their presence.
had this on a 45 when I was a child. I loved this song and still do! the best rendition of Mr. Bojangles I've ever seen was from this wonderful talented man. The world needs less P.Diddy and more Sammy Davis Jr.
This was his least favorite song, but he owed it a lot. Candyman reinvigorated his career when he came out with it, but he was never fond of the song. He kinda blew right thru the song quick as possible.
You Joker I agree, but he came out with Bo at the height of his career. When his popularity started to wane is when he came out with candy man and it got him back on the radio.
Wow. I haven't really listened to Sammy Davis junior. But I'm glad I am now. Where have I been? And I'm kinda surprised l. It's 2022 and this is still being heard. I thought I was alone in my past memories and nostalgia. I love the good old times. I'm glad I'm not alone on those thoughts
He was sooooo great, this warm bride orchestral voice, this timing, the charme, the humor, the talent, this little man and his voice no problem with a big band with nearly 30 musicians! Absolutely genius. I miss him, this kind of jazz and all the singers and dancers of his decade ;-)
Oh mein Gott, das war ja bei der Eröffnung der Spielbank hier in Dortmund Syburg, zu der ich damals kein Ticket bekam, weil sie innerhalb 30 Minuten ausverkauft war! Sammy Davis Jr. war absolut großartig.
I had the pleasure of seeing Sammy in concert in 1975. The show was so awesome , my girlfriend and I bought tickets for his show the next night. Of all the shows that I have seen in person, Sammy Davis Jr. was the best all round performer. Rest In Peace Sammy. !!!
I don't know when and how it started, but I've loved this song from hearing it on the radio as a little girl growing up in Jamaica. I loved it so much I sang it to my son as a lullaby when he was a baby, then to my daughter, and now, now I'm singing it to my grandson as I did to his father. He knows all the words, though I had them in the wrong places so I'm here learning the lyrics once and for all...what a singer and a beautiful performance this is!! Thanks Sammy for such a beautiful song that continues to warm my heart and those I love.
The story is, S.D. Jr. never wanted to sing this song. He thought it was too goofy. His producer finally convinced him, and Sammy said he'd do only a single take. That one take is what eventually became the released single - which shot to number one in multiple countries. It's his only #1 song.
A wonderful song from a wonderful man. This song brings back heart warming memories of family gatherings with Sammy singing his tunes and always creating laughter like it’s magic. Thank you so much. Will forever be in my heart. 🙏❤️❤️❤️ 1:07
Incomparable with no equal. Sings, dances, actor, musician, etc...I can’t believe today’s so called talent compared to “Mr. Bojangles”. RIP Sammy Davis Jr. The best thing about getting old is knowing what real talent was
Guys like him cannot hardly be found these days. Real performancers, real musicians who are still capable of reading notes. He definately belongs to greatest performers ever. Just cool, and he still kept respect to the songs he sang. Sammy Davis Jr. truly had real style. Both a funny and a serious guy. Long live r-e-a-l music!
Living Legends from the dead and still living that's what you call a legend opening doors for acting singing and movies for BET entertainment. Amen :-).
Absolutely brilliant, all round legend and complete entertainer, he came through all the racism and inequality to become a true all round star. Unfortunately never to be seen again.
I’m only 21 and I can already tell finding something like this somewhere live is almost impossible, very unfortunate but at least people like this left their mark for us to remember or discover
I met him when I was a kid visiting Atlantic City with my Aunt and Uncle around 1980. The grownups were gambling and I was tired of game room and stepped outside to sneak a smoke. He got out of his car and I started singing Candy Man. He says "You're a cool cat" finger guns and all. He tells me how I shouldn't smoke and then asked what I was doing. I say I got board and was gonna walk to our hotel. He offers a ride and I say sure. I was cheesing big time. He was already one of my heroes and it was my first ride in a limo. I was 15 and it was wonderful. When I got much older I read that he hated Candy Man and yet he was ever so gracious. My first brush with fame. Oh yeah, I did not ask him if he was keeping an eye out for me but I wanted to. Gosh, I miss his presence.
How exceptionally gifted he was; I love him ♥️ always missing his greatness; musicality, entertaining and a great man all around; never to be forgotten; Sammy Davis Jr. 🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎶🎵🎶🎶♥️
What a talented guy. We won't see or hear his like again. All we are left with now is mediocre dross that will be forgotten in time, while the music of Sammy, Frank, Nat, Dean, Ella, Peggy, Bing, Tony, Andy, Matt & Perry, will live forever.

Or they've already been reincarnated and living a different life

Awesome!!
Very sophisticated singing, stretching and bending phrases all over with total confidence. He fused jazz and soul seamlessly, and better than anyone.
Ra HoWa NOBODY goes to a live show excepting to see the songs sung exactly how they were recorded.... unless you listen to rap, where they just play the recorded version and let the performer sing over it.
When I was little and saw him tapping to many of his songs, I thought all singers did this.
Bryan Leigh one of the best ever.....
Ra Ho what are you talking about he’s a showman this is Sammy he’d do it no other way
@Ra HoWa utter rubbish
One of the most all-round talented performers in history. On the Mount Rushmore of entertainment.
I can't believe how good he still was at 60 years old. Consider the toll that his life must taken on him. Truly Remarkable.
A truly beautiful person who loved everyone.
Indeed. What a voice!
I agree with you
A No It’s a constitution you don’t see much now
Nah we can demand
He was short, skinny, half blind... and a HUGE performer!!!
Thanks for pointing out his negatives, Wow
smoked 4 cigarette packs a day, and had a throat cancer,,,
Having one eye makes you half blind? Not sure that's how that works.
"I'm blind, black and Jew, more are needed at this?"
He was a genius...
Had a sense of humor, a great voice, a great dancer, just a great person and funny
RIP Sammy Davis JR.
He was a heck of a drummer too....
Boy did he have a sense of humor. Perfect comedic timing. The talent in this one was remarkable. One of he Greats!
He is on bbc sounds app in a interview with David Frost v kool!🥰
He's an angel
I know of no other artist where you can understand EVERY.SINGLE.WORD that is sung. Truly the best.
Well maybe Frank as well.

Sammy Davis Jr. was a great singer, dancer and actor. He smiled and laughed and caused his audience to do the same. He is truly missed.
One of my most concrete memories is when my grandparents lived in a caravan about 2 hours from me, and on a weekend my granddad (who worked round me still) would drive back home to caravan, so I’d go with him, and on those long drives, we would have this on repeat, one of the things me and him bonded with was loving this and how it was the first time we both tapped and sang together, sometimes it takes stuff like a song to realise that when someone’s gone, you will miss them more than anything, I’m so not ready to lose my granddad for memories like this
Didn't know how this performance was gonna go, but once the orchestra kicked in just chills.
This is pure entertainment and talent!
I was a little white girl when he was having his comeback. I absolutely adored him. If he was going to be on a show, I'd sit there waiting for him to come on. I especially loved it when he danced.

This is exactly what my son is going through
My grampy used to sing this to me. ❤
C00l gramp!
Did he also try singing in Sammy's voice too, because it's so fun trying to talk, sing and scat like Sammy.
Omg you say grampy to! I haven’t heard anyone say that for ever
Sammy was so cool we missed him rest in peace
I'm here because of Madagascar
The man was cool and smooth
Fun fact: Sammy Davis Jr addition for the shop keeper in the candy store For Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory. But the director and producers didn't want someone famous playing the part so they turned him down. Which is why as you see he sang even though he never got the part.
I always preferred “groovy lemon pie” over “strawberry-lemon pie”.
More pizazz, you see.
"The candyman can cause he mixes it with love to make the world taste good." I love to hear him sing this.
There will not be another "Sammy"🇺🇸🙏🎙️🎶🎵🎼
Brilliant sammy no one like him ❤🎉😊
he was drunk. aber..he ttta mad.e @ .it
Absolutely one of the best entertainers that ever lived. His impressions are also brilliant. Star quality that can rarely be equalled.
Well said
He did it all!
Just as long as his diamond ring is on, he,s going ok
Sammy Davis, Jr. had a hit with this song at a time when most hitmakers were half to two-thirds his age. And here he's having loads of fun with it more than a decade later. A true class act!

Sammy Davis Jr American entertainer is in our memory for beautiful performance as singer,actor,dancer...😍🌍
We don't have entertainers anymore! This how I feel when I watch this.

TRUE!!!!
We have Biden and trump debating on stage. I think that’s freaking hilarious.
What a voice! What a personality! What a Performer! One of the bests, never to be repeated. We do not have artists like this anymore :(

I just wrote it too, I agree with you
Omg I wish I could go back in time,being little I never realized how amazing that man was ,talk about TALENT!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️...RIP Mr Sammy Davis Jr😔💔🕊️💙
He was a real song&danceman. Don't make em like that anymore for sure.
This was his least favorite song, but he owed it a lot. Candyman reinvigorated his career when he came out with it, but he was never fond of the song. He kinda blew right thru the song quick as possible.
Bo Jangles for me is the song I associate with Sammy.
You Joker I agree, but he came out with Bo at the height of his career. When his popularity started to wane is when he came out with candy man and it got him back on the radio.
Ironic but not surprising. Whitney says she didn't like "Where Do Broken Hearts Go"
bowl of cocaine next to the mixed nuts
That's because this song is about Satan
THE CONSUMMATE PERFORMER. SORELY MISSED. THANK YOU SAMMY FOR MAKING MY CHILDHOOD/YOUNG ADULT LIFE A LITTLE SWEETER. R.I.P. CANDYMAN
A great entertainer! Enjoyed his work greatly! Thanks for the memories!
It really cannot get any better than this singing at its very very best just genius really 😊
