Sammy sings Newley (1968).
Sammy Davis Jr. performs a sublime medley of Anthony Newley/Leslie Bricusse-penned hits at the swankiest party you were never invited to.
By far the most showbiz experience you'll have (and the only time you'll hear Lionel Blair name-checked) all day.
Pay special attention to the tambourine player in the background.

After a round of mutual back-slapping like you've never seen, Mr Newley and Mr Davis take to the stage to perform 'Once in a Lifetime'.

Clips courtesy of Indy788, as featured on the 'Playboy After Dark' DVD.

Thanks, as always, to Newley-spotter extraordinaire Bobby Grindrod.
