Book Reviews of Sammy Davis Jr.: My Father
Book Review: As a life long fan of Sammy Davis, I loved this book...
Summary: 5 Stars
There are lots of things written on Sammy Davis. I started watching him on TV as a child and as a present my parents took me to see him in Golden Boy on Broadway. I saw him in concert another 7 times. I recently saw a video of his impersonation of Michale Jackson, and I remembered how much I truly ENJOYED his performances. I've read his other biographies.
I have to say, I am truly glad that his daughter wrote this book. It is a truly enlightening perspective - a child's viewpont of her Dad, both good and bad, and her life as Tracy, Two Commas. Her word for having grown up as, Sammy's Kid.
I found the story a wonderful adventure. It made him so real. Okay, he wasn't a great father, but he was who he was and he was one of the greatest performaners ever.
Thank you, Tracey Davis, I really enjoyed this.
Chris, A Lifelong Sammy Davis, Jr. Fan
