For those who love Sammy Davis Jr, this is a Must Have November 14, 2008
I bought this CD for my father who loves Sammy Davis Jr.. It isn't easy to get him a present he loves, he tends to have everything he wants and needs. When he listened to it, a smile grew on his face, his foot started tapping and I knew I chose the best CD for him. He commented it had all his favorite songs on it.
One of the Greatest Entertainers of All Time March 8, 2008
Sammy Davis Jr was one of the Best Ever! This cd is a great overview of some of his finest work. It has everything from his early stuff right through to even his theme song for the TV series Barretta. What this collection has over others is that it contains Sammy's Definitive version of "Mr. Bogangles". I can just pictiure him doing this complete with hat and great dance moves. If you don't get the box set by Rhino out there,this cd is a terrific starter in introduce people to. Enjoy.
Great CD of Sammy January 18, 2008
I bought this CD for my 21y/o son who is finally developing a taste for good music. This is a great starter CD for anyone looking to hear a variety of great songs by one of the all time best singers of our generation. Well worth the purchase.
 Sammy sure could sing November 29, 2007
This is a great collection of his best songs - and contains his really incredible rendition of Too Close for Comfort. It's a great cd to put on while you sip something warm and wrap yourself in the jazzy, caressing sound of Sammy's voice. The one downside is that the recordings, even though remastered, are just the tiniest bit fuzzy. Still, it's such a great songlist that it's really worth owning.
An Excellent Collection By A True Innovator. August 28, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Sammy Davis Jr. is one of the most important figures in American popular music. When he first came on the scene, he was initially ostracized for, among other reasons, his height and his skin color. And even afer he broke down those barriers, with the help of a good friend named Frank Sinatra, he then had to become a terrible tragedy that cost him half his vision. And still, Sammy persevered to become one of the most beloved figures in popular music.
The 30 song "The Definitive Collection" perfectly show why Sammy remains as beloved as he does. Sammy's talent and perseverence as an artist shines through on each and every track, from "Hey There" to "Something's Gotta Give" to "The Lady Is A Tramp" to "What Kind Of Fool Am I" to his anthem, "I've Gotta Be Me" (one of the most powerful and uplifting songs ever) and everything in between. Sammy's skills as a vocalist are powerful, pure and beaten by few. Even fluff like "Candy Man" becomes a masterpiece in his hands. Sammy was a one of a kind talent with great flair and energy as a performer. God Bless Him.
This cd has a great remastering job and has an awesome essay by David Ritz. A must-have for all music fans.
