The Incredible Life Of Sammy Davis Jr.

Sammy Davis Jr Life Story: The King of Cool 1925 - 1990
Sammy Davis Jr. was a highly popular actor, comedian, singer and dancer. He was also part of the Rat Pack with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, with whom he starred in several films. Sammy Davis Jr. overcame prevailing racism to establish himself as an entertainment legend, becoming a successful comedian, actor, dancer and singer. As part of the Rat Pack, with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, Davis was known for films like Ocean's 11 and Sergeants 3 along with his partying ways. As his fame grew, his refusal to appear in any clubs that practiced racial segregation led to the integration of several venues in Miami Beach and Las Vegas. A Tony-nominated performer, Davis was also associated with popular recordings like "I've Gotta Be Me" and the No. 1 hit "The Candy Man."

Samuel George Davis Jr. was born on December 8, 1925, in the Harlem neighbourhood of New York City, with the infant initially raised by his paternal grandmother. Davis's parents split up when he was 3 and he went to live with his father, who was working as an entertainer in a dance troupe. When his father and adopted uncle went on tour, Davis was brought along, and after learning to tap the three began performing together. They would eventually be dubbed the Will Mastin Trio.

Sammy Davis Jr. was a real superstar in his era. Unfortunately he owed the IRS a lot of money when he died so they took away all his copyrights including his name. That’s why he is hardly known today regardless of his fame and talents.
In his biography his wife took his glass eye and all of his gold& diamond necklaces and gold & diamond rings off of his dead body.😢
