This entire episode is Sammy Davis, Jr. singing about 15 tracks both in the studio in concert.

Earlier this week, I’d played & shared some Sammy Davis, Jr. on Instagram…and that inspired me to do this abbreviated show dedicated to the man & the legend…there was no myth about it…even though his skills were mythical.

ENJOY!
