Mr. Entertainment 1949-1962 on CD

He was born in Harlem, and his parents were music hall artists. Sammy Davis Jr. Would learn how to do everything: sing, perform, dance, act... He had such an unmistakeable voice, and together with his look, his "attitude" and his unshakable feeling for putting on a show, it made him a complete artist and he became one of the most famous crooners of the 20th century. Prepared by Olivier Julien, this 3CD anthology throws light on recordings by the man they called "Mr. Entertainment." He was no doubt the first black Superstar in America, a figure whose peers included Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.
