Sammy Davis Jr. was one of the most talented Entertainers there EVER was!
I, too, miss him deeply, but I do have some great videos and CD Collections of him doing what he did best - which was EVERYTHING! I also had the great pleasure of seeing him live twice, along with Morty Stevens conducting the Orchestra.
Great memories, for sure. We miss ya, Sammy and Mort - I'm sure you guys are still performing for for the Angels together up there...:-)

You and Zooba, I can only bow down before your greater experience of coolness!
Terry Wogan, who passed away this week, interviewed SDJ, and had a running gag for years about him being a 'two-bit entertainer'. Dry wit of course and no doubt SDJ loved that:
Whether it was 1949 or 1979, Sammy was the shizzle, as demonstrated in this 1979 Christmas-themed Alka-Seltzer commercial. Sammy sings, shall we say, a version of "Tis the Season" with "adjusted" lyrics.
Sammy's ad starts at 2:22...
This commercial block is from Miami's NBC WCKT (now WSVN and sadly, FOX) affiliate, so it warms my heart all the more.
