One of my big regrets in life is never getting to see him perform live.

People just don't have that kind of talent anymore.

many years ago and he was as nice as he was talented. He came to watch our dance class in rehearsal and did some soft-shoe for us. Awesome..

episode, but that's probably because I had a huge crush on Johnny Crawford and never paid attention to the plots.

. . . and right after they played the "Earl Bantry" episode, where Chuck gets to play a mustachioed villain that resembles a mutation of Willem Dafoe and Denis Leary.

Sammy Davis was a man with awesome talent. Like someone above stated we don't have entertainers with his kind of talent anymore.
