Mr. ENTERTAINMENT 1949-1962

Né à Harlem de parents artistes de music-hall, Sammy Davis Jr. savait tout faire : chanter, jouer, danser... Sa voix si reconnaissable, son look, son attitude et son inébranlable sens du show ont fait de cet artiste touche à tout, l’un des crooners les plus célèbres du XXe siècle. Réalisée par Olivier Julien, cette anthologie 3 CD met en lumière les enregistrements de celui que l’on surnommait « Mr. Entertainment ». Sans doute la première superstar noire aux États-Unis, compère de Frank Sinatra et Dean Martin.
