Sammy Davis Jr - Christmas Time All Over The World video free download

Thanks to Chris Snell for making this post on You Tube which was broadcast on AM1070 KNTH in Houston on Tuesday, 12/16/14. It's Tuesday and only 9 days until Christmas day. Cool temperatures are back this morning which makes this Maxwell House Dark Roast Coffee taste exceptional. I've always been a fan of the singers of the "Rat Pack," Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. Of course, all of these gentlemen had wonderful voices. Sammy Davis Jr lived from 1925 to 1990. Michael Heatley from Vox magazine gives a short biography. In the over hyped world of popular music music, there are legends, and then there are Legends with a capital L. There’s no doubting which category Sammy Davis Jr falls into. For a staggering 60 years, from his debut as a four year old child star in the late 1920′s to his untimely death in 1990 at the age of 64, he more than justified his title of ‘Mr Entertainment’ and when he wasn’t inspiring headlines on stage he was making news of it, as a founder member of the Rat Pack with fellow superstars Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. Davis’s philosophy was a simple one. ‘Just do what you’re best at, he said in 1988, ‘and when you can’t do it any longer – stop’.Sadly, the cancer that ended his life on 16th May 1990 made that decision for him, but he’d long since sung and danced his way into immortality. A final world tour in 1988/89 with Sinatra and Martin will long be remembered, even though Liza Minnelli had to take Dean’s place when ill health forced him to drop out. But Davis sang and danced on. ‘Sammy knew he was dying back then,’ Sinatra later revealed, ‘but you never expect it to come to that. We all think we’ll live forever.’ Sadly, of course, that doesn’t happen, but the magic of the music remains. Have a good Tuesday...and Merry Christmas.
