Who is Sammy Davis Jr

Ranked #19,635 in Entertainment, #238,720 overall

Sammy ~ Hip, Cool & Happening!

Sammy Davis, Jr., was the greatest entertainer - he could do it all - he sang, he danced, he did impressions plus he was in movies and TV and he performed on Broadway! Luckily, Sammy was always on TV when I was younger - the variety shows, sitcoms, dramas and the talk shows. When he was on talk shows, there was always excitement - you never knew what Sammy will talk about. As soon as the TV Guide landed in our house - I would circle the show with red ink so everyone knew that was a must see program.

This page is packed full of information about our favorite entertainer with videos and weblinks. Also we have included links to ebay & Amazon so you can additional items to your Sammy collection. We have added a little section so you can see the collectibles that we have up for bid on ebay and we also feature the lenses we have created.

Before you leave, please sign our guestbook to share your thoughts on Sammy Davis Jr.

Will the real Sammy Davis Hang up?

Sammy on the Patty Duke Show ~ March 3, 1965

After Patty promises her fellow school mates a big Broaway star for the Junior Prom, Patty walks up and down Broadway with wearing a sandwich sign stating she needs a star. Sammy's manager sees her out the dressing room window and share Patty's prom problem - and that is when the real fun begins!

Sammy was in 'Golden Boy' and there is one line referencing his appearance on Broadway. "Coming to see Sammy win the big fight again?" by the stage door man. Also a poster for Golden Boy is outside the stage door when Patty tries to see Sammy right before the prom.

One of Sammy's Rat Pack buddies makes a cameo appearance in Part Three.

She is listening to Sammy again!?

Friends..what can you do? I saw Sammy as hip, happening and a very cool cat - my friends thought I was crazy for listening to old music and when they saw I also had Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra records...oh my! So when they came over, we enoyed the other records in my collection Janis, Jimi, Jim, James Taylor, Carly Simon, David Bowie, The Who, Stones, Beatles, etc. No one was more shocked than I when they wanted to listen to Sammy when Candyman was on the radio. Sammy did make pop music cool!
