A recent post showed Jim Carrey doing his impression of Sammy Davis, Jr. and gave my sort of moderately-offended-for-Sammy review.
Well here I have a video of Sammy doing impressions of his friends. He sings, “One for my Baby (One More for the Road)” while doing impressions of Fred Astaire, Nat ‘King’ Cole, Billy Eckstine, […]
I’ve got a bittersweet feeling about this one. I do like Jim Carrey, and I do like impersonation comedy, but I think he might’ve gone a little overboard with it all. To the point where it’s kind of a little bit offensive to Sammy Davis, Jr. in a way… I don’t know, what do you […]

Yes folks, today marks the anniversary of the passing of Sammy Davis, Jr. Remarkable that it’s so close to the same date of passing for Frank Sinatra, isn’t it?
Feel free to browse the SDJ archives, but for now, I’ll leave you with one of his most famous songs ever, […]
I remember last year for my birthday (gah, was it a whole year ago?) my parents got me tickets to see a Rat Pack tribute group with a local celebrity, Louis Velez, playing Sammy Davis, Jr.

Renowned sculptor, Tina Allen is currently in the process of creating a 15ft statue of Sammy Davis, Jr. in bronze. I’ve taken a look at her other work, and frankly, I’m not all that impressed. I mean yes, it’s impressive to be creating a 15 foot statue of anything, especially using the process of bronze […]
I’ve been hunting and picking through Joey Bishop videos on YouTube for a couple hours now, wanting to do a tribute of sorts, since Joey just recently passed, and found this one from his birthday in the late 60’s.
I laughed myself silly with this - but maybe it’s just because of the high appreciation […]

For some reason, “Mr. Bojangles” always makes me a little “mushy” when I hear it. But only the version of the beloved Sammy Davis, Jr.
This video shows Sammy in the 1980’s doing a version for television’s “Night of 100 Stars”.
It’s funny, we actually have a sort of celebrity from my hometown by the name of […]
All about the style, swagger, and sexy hip of the smooth-voiced singers from the 40's, 50's, and 60's era of music and life.
