Sammy Davis Video Vault
A library of performances by the Greatest Entertainer of the 20th century, Sammy Davis, Jr. So often today variety artists are forgotten. Amazing music performance are cut from classic tv shows that appear on retro stations due to thinking younger audiences will be turned off by older songs, or because of the expense of gaining the rights to the songs. Even a talented quadruple-threat like Sammy Davis, Jr is being forgotten because his performances aren't widely shared. The only purpose of this channel is to provide a space for the next generation to learn about this talented man through his 60-year body of work. I do not profit from this page in anyway.

This week's Sunday with Sammy will be Judy Garland's 2nd appearance on the Sammy Davis, Jr Show. There is a fun skit between Sammy and Frank Gorshin parodying old movies. There is also a great medley of Henry Mancini songs by the Letterman.
My copy of this show is not a great copy (dark), but it is complete.

Sammy & song writer Charles Strouse discuss Golden Boy. This full program includes a discussion of the many different versions of Golden Boy that were tried before the final version premiered on Broadway. Joe Wellington has many great clips from this show on YouTube, but this is the complete telecast.

Do you recognize these people? They are commentators on a 1999 French documentary, Sammy Davis A King of Show Biz. I would like to tag them, but the doc never gives their names. Thanks in advance.

TGIF everyone. Can you believe in the past 90 days this channel has had over 100,000 views and over 9,000 watch hours? It makes me happy to see so many people rediscovering or becoming new fans of Sammy Davis. I need to do some VCR repair, so there won't be a Sunday with Sammy this week, but I hope to be up and running again next week.
Instead, post a link to a favorite Sammy video from anther page. I'll start.
