Our Take
Our Take
In the golden age of entertainment, Sammy Davis Jr. stood tall as the ultimate showman. Mr. Entertainment 1949-1962 is a collection of his greatest hits that reminds us all why he was a force to be reckoned with.
From the moment the opening track kicks in, you are transported to a bygone era of glitz and glamour. Davis' smooth vocals effortlessly glide over the jazzy arrangements, making each song feel like a luxurious treat for the ears.
Tracks like "The Birth of the Blues" and "Hey There" showcase Davis' impeccable range and control, while his signature rendition of "What Kind of Fool Am I?" is a heartbreaking ballad that solidifies his status as the king of crooners.
But it's not all ballads and slow jams on this album. Davis brings the heat with upbeat numbers like "The Candy Man" and "Too Close for Comfort," proving that he can also get the party started with his infectious energy.
Overall, Mr. Entertainment 1949-1962 is a must-listen for any fan of classic jazz and swing music. Sammy Davis Jr. may be gone, but his legacy lives on in each note he sings. So sit back, relax, and let the music of this legendary performer take you on a journey through the golden age of entertainment. Trust us, you won't regret it.
