who today can sing like that? the microphone was just for amplification, now singers have computer augmented voices. Amazing talent, what a voice.

What a Mensch Sam was. He was a true credit to our people the Jews, and to our partners the Blacks.

JESUS!! I was wondering how he was going to sing this sitting down, especially the climax. He finally does stand up, but that guy had so much power packed into that small body he didn't really need to stand up to draw in a lot of breath. I'm not too crazy how he phrases some of the lyrics, but the final chorus is one of the most powerful, beautiful, tragic things I've ever heard. Chills, indeed.

Mr. Davis not only had a beautiful and powerful voice, he could transport you body, soul, and spirit into the depth of his emotion. I was with him there on the banks of the river. This performance brought a tear to my eyes. I miss him very much.

Love the ending, Sammy hits some notes that are truly virtuoso, dug out from deep in his soul. Always equated "Bojangles" as Sammys' personal-Ol' Man River.
