Just watching the recording from a couple of days ago. The man is a genius.
Just to have a drummer as backing him is incredible. He is truly an artist.
'he sings, dances, talks, and all that, but does none of those things especially well, compared with the acknowledged experts in the respective fields'
'an artist who could easily out-dance and in my view, out-sing any of them - including the over-rated Sinatra.'
For clarification - I was a little careless in my skill application - I think SD sings better than Fran Sinatra, and they both sing better than Dean Martin, but SD does not dance as well as someone like Fred Astaire.
We still have the LP Sammy Davis at The Coconut Grove which is a recording of his one man show and it is brilliant. Love the man and have taped both shows this weekend. Looking forward to watching them later this week.
Jordryboy - // everyone is entitled to their opinion but that statement by andy hughes is ridiculous //
As I said, it is my opinion, and yes I am entitled to it. You don't have to agree, but that does not make my opinion ridiculous, it just makes it what I think.
