Sammy Davis Jr. Performs On The Chabad Telethon 1986

I watch the Chabad Telethon every year. It's to raise funds for a great cause. The Chabad Houses around the globe have been a real blessing in the lives of so many. They aid countless people in need, both Jews and Gentiles, through a variety of programs. Each year's telethon features wonderful stars performing on the show. This clip comes from 1986. It's Sammy Davis Jr., who was a convert to Judaism, performing The Candy Man.

Hello Keith. What a wonderful clip! I've watched the telethon myself over the years. They do often have great guests up there. It is definitely for a worthy cause.

Hey pallie DMP. Thanks for the comments. I guess you heard about the terrorist attacks in India the other month. They mentioned that a rabbi, his wife, etc. were killed at a Jewish center. That was a Chabad House. They do so much for both Jews and Gentiles.

A most worthy cause. All the very best for 2009, Keith.

Hey Glenn. Thanks for the comments. I'm glad you liked it. This is probably the first song I remember hearing from Sammy when I was growing up.
