Sammy Davis Jr. - The Ultimate Sammy Davis Jr. Collection (2005)

Recognised as one of the world's greatest entertainers throughout his career, Sammy Davis Jr. excelled at singing, dancing and acting. As a member of the famed Rat Pack (along with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin) he was a perennial icon of cool. He racked up hit after hit on both sides of the Atlantic including "Let There Be Love", "What Kind Of Fool Am I?" and the massive US number one smash "The Candy Man". In a troubled era, Sammy Davis Jr. was one of the first African-American performers to gain popularity and acceptance on both sides of the race barrier. At the invitation of Frank Sinatra, he played at the newly integrated Copacabana club, helping to end America's musical segregation system. In between filming various hit films and TV shows, Davis had more hits throughout his long running career including "Something's Gotta Give", "Love Me Or Leave Me" and "That Old Black Magic". This comprehensive collection of his recorded classics will delight fans both old and new.
