That BBC clip is unbelievably great. Sammy Davis might be that much-discussed Greatest of All Time. His singing style is an ascended master style, like Cab Calloway in many ways. His dancing is effortless and intimate, a tipsy late-night conversation with an old friend. The courageous and mischievous way he approached his every moment in the public eye has been an inspiration to me through thick and thing. I don’t know what endorsing Nixon was all about — that guy was terrible — but this isn’t something I need him to explain or apologize for. Thanks for writing this article.
