Samuel George Davis Jr.(December 8, 1925– May 16, 1990) was an American singer, actor, comedian, dancer, and musician.

At age four, Davis began his career invaudevillewith his fatherSammy Davis Sr.and theWill Mastin Trio, which toured nationally. His film career began in 1933. After military service, Davis returned to the trio and produced nightclub performances atCiro\'s(inWest Hollywood) in 1951, including one after theAcademy Awards ceremony. With the trio, he became a recording artist.

In 1954, at the age of 29, Davis lost his left eye in a car accident. Two years later Davis, who was Black, faced backlash for his involvement with a white actress, at a time when interracial relationships were taboo in the U.S. and wheninterracial marriagewas not yet legalized nationwide (until 1967).[2]In 1960, Davisconverted to Judaism, finding commonalities between the oppression experienced by bothAfrican AmericansandJewish Americans.[3]

Davis had a starring role onBroadwayinMr. WonderfulwithChita Rivera(1956). In 1960, he appeared in theRat PackfilmOcean\'s 11. He returned to the stage in 1964 inGolden Boy, a musical adaptation ofClifford Odets\'s play of the same name. Davis was nominated for aTony Awardfor his performance. The show featured the first interracial kiss on Broadway.[4]In 1966, he had his own TV variety show, titledThe Sammy Davis Jr. Show. While Davis\'s career slowed in the late 1960s, his biggest hit, \"The Candy Man\", reached the top of theBillboardHot 100in June 1972, and he became a star in Las Vegas, earning him the nickname \"Mister Show Business\".[5]Davis\'s popularity helped break the race barrier of thesegregatedentertainment industry.[6]One day on a golf course withJack Benny, he was asked what hishandicapwas. \"Handicap?\" he asked. \"Talk about handicap. I\'m a one-eyedNegrowho\'s Jewish.\"[7][8]This was to become a signature comment.[9]

After reuniting withFrank SinatraandDean Martinin 1987, Davis toured with them andLiza Minnelliinternationally, before his death in 1990. He died in debt to theInternal Revenue Service,[10]and his estate was the subject of legal battles after the death of his wife.[11]Davis\'s final album, thecountry-influencedClosest of Friends(1982), was a departure from his usual musical style.[12]Davis was awarded theSpingarn Medalby theNAACPand was nominated for aGolden Globe Awardand anPrimetime Emmy Awardfor his television performances. He was a recipient of theKennedy Center Honorsin 1987, and in 2001, he was posthumously awarded theGrammy Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2017, Davis was inducted into theNational Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame.

In most cases, using Jack Smalling\'s baseball address lists and other assorted address lists, I wrote to both active and retired baseball players, sending them letters, requests for signatures, and self-addressed-stamped envelopes. This is how I obtained thousands of autographs. I also obtained many autographs in person at area parks and hotels.In the 1980\'s and 1990\'s, I travelled the country doing shows (20 National Conventions) and would buy quantities of autographs through player signings.
