JSngry Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) ...man, this motherfucker (and all the people from his school) WORKED @ their craft - entertainment. Jive it might - or might not - have been, but there weren't no half-steppin' of vaingloriosity allowed. You took the stage, baby, you WORKED. http://classicshowbiz.blogspot.com/2009/05...ammy-davis.html Let us give props where props is due.

Dave James Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 You can say what you want about Davis' show business-y, syncophantic personality, but pound for pound or by any other measure, I've long thought he may be the single most talented performer to ever set foot on a stage. He was a comic, an actor, a dancer, an impressionist and, as this video clearly illustrates, an accomplished percussionist / instrumentalist. There just wasn't a whole lot this guy couldn't do and do well. Yo! Sammy. You da man. Up over and out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
