It is taking longer than expected to fetch the next song to play.
The music should be playing soon.

The more I listen to him over time I realize what an incredible talent he had for milking the most out of a song. What phrasing, what timing, what diction! So glad we have him captured for posterity on so many recordings to enjoy over and over again!
The Birth of the Blues on Something's Gotta Give is my favorite version, love the scream at the end! Sammy you where one in a million. Wish I could have seen you live in concert.

He's amazing! I could listen and watch Mr. Davis perform all day!
Guess I am getting older, but remember when all of the rat pack was here and loved them all. Loved to hear them sing and loved Sammy. Remember when he was married to May Brtt and what a problem it supposedly was then. A long time ago.
just watched some Rat Pack vids on youtube...heartwarming, yet very sad. i miss them a lot

He was Mr Entertainer. Wonderful sense of humor, serious performer. It was like seeing him for the first time each time. An awesome experience. You are missed.
An era that I wish I could have been apart of, simply amazing performances. It is a sad thing to compare their greatness to that of today's "performers".
Sammy (and Frank,Dean,Peter...Bobby...Nat...) Yeah - "Those" were the years. When Sammy curled up like a fetus on his death bed the world stopped. When he died, I wept.

Does anybody remember a album Sammy put out in the 60's with a solo Guitar player who was known by only one name starting with A.. The music was very soulful and I am looking for th name of the Guitar player.

Dean & Frank both always said their favorite entertainer was Sammy!!
I'm only 44 but I remember watching Sammy on TV as a child. I think he was and truly is my favorite artist.

I'm so sorry for those who were never able to see this great entertainer live in concert. He was absolutely the most amazing performer I have ever seen.

Sammy Davis is arguably THE best entertainer who has ever lived.

I am too young for many of the artists I have discovered here. I knew who the members of the Rat Pack were, but never knew what they could do. Thank you Pandora, I never would have found the rich history they offer, and the info you provide about them makes the music even better.

Not much of a singer technically? He was technically far beyond his Rat Pack buddies. Add the style, ease with which he knocked it out of the park, and he was one of the finest ever. I've heard so many technically wonderful singers who bore audiences to tears. The late, great Sylvia Syms and Art Lund both emphasized to me in separate talks that singing comes from the heart, not the throat. It's about emotion, connection -- and being in tune, of course...
Sammy was the original Mr. Entertainment...sing, dance, act, tell jokes, do impersonations (one of the best), and was probably the best overall entertainer that I ever saw. The way the man treats the song that he's singing is a joy and a revelation. Had all the talent in the world. Highly underated.

I love his songs, as well as the songs of sammy davis, jr., frank sinatra, bing crosby. I am grateful to have discovered this station.
HMMMMMMMM not much of a singer technically???????? well I guess if you compare him to the very best no, but in spite of his "limits" he was one of the most underrated performers of all time.
Man, I love Sammy Davis Jr. He's not much of a singer, technically, but just so stylistically cool. I guess you could say the same thing about a lot of his contemporaries, actually.

I really didn't start listening to all that jazzy type music until I started lisyening to Michael Buble. But I must say that Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, and Dean Martin are absolutely amazing. And it feels kind of weird because most 16 year olds don't really like that kid of music, but I LOVE IT!
