Sammy Davis Jr - Mr. Bojangles (Live in Germany 1985)

Any black person who thrived during his time was a superhero. The racism he had to overcome was truly nuclear level. Respect

Black, white, Jewish, or Peuto Rican Mr. Sammy Davis was one of THE greatest entertainers to ever grace a stage, club, or movie set! Sammy you are greatly missed! 🥲

Im a 38 yr old mexican guy from the ghetto in south central LA. I come back to this video every year. Hello from 2024

Oh the time, when music was still music, and singers could sing.

He's not singing a song, he's telling a story. A priceless performance.

Who is still listening in 2021? What an artist, a musical story teller. Genius!

I've been listening to this song for over 20 years and it still gives me a smile!! RIP Sammy 🙏

This man was an absolute gift from God to all of us. I have never forgotten his smile and beautiful renditions of song and dances. Proudly I think of him as the real Song and Dance man.

I worked in the Grosvenor House Hotel in London in 1970's In one week he did eight concerts, midnight matinees on the Friday and Saturday. Lionel Blair was the support act. I have never witnessed more powerful performances nor such colossal crowd reaction. Some of the biggest names in showbusiness, Mama Cass, Cat Stevens, Roger Moore Joan Collins ...he brought tears to their eyes through his singing dancing and stories of life...his own. I was a wine butler in the Great Room. None of us who worked that week would ever forget what we'd witnessed

Who ever was a better showman? Who ever had more talent?

Sammy was the GOAT...seriously. My life is richer because of his talent.

This is 2024 and I still listen to Sammy Davis Jr. He is one of my favorite entertainers. I always love to see him perform Mr. Bojangles. 😊😎❤

My grandpa sang this on my birthday. It was the last performance he ever did. It was magical. 5 days later he died. I come here and cry everytime.

He isn't just singing this song. He is living it.

What a talent. I saw him many years ago live near San Francisco. He may be gone but thank God for recordings and videos like this - he will never be forgotten and that talent lives on. ❤

There’s a reason that the lights on the Strip were turned off to honor him after his passing.

It’s now 2023!! This man is the best singer ever!! He knows exactly how to sing and dance. Thankyou Sammy Davis Jnr. 💐🤗

We don’t have pure entertainers like this anymore ! One of the all time best ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Me at 82 years, still my No. 1 go to when I get tired of all the modern shit on the radio these days.

"I drinks a bit ..." LOL
