This photo comes from 1969. Sammy was playing at a charity concert in Philadelphia. It was a benefit to help raise funds to deter gang violence. Sammy was always involved in a lot of different causes to help out others. That's one of the things I really admire about him. He used his celebrity status to really try to make things better in the world.

Congrats on the award. Love that Sammy Davis photo.
Great list - single word answers are hard (I cheated by using hyphenated words!)...
Happy Tuesday!
That's great that Sammy had a heart for others!.
Loved your answers, that is hard to do.

Congrats on that award - interesting - you are very enigmatic Keith!! Love the Sammy Davis photo too - is that a young Tom Jones there too???
Homemade food is the best! Great photo!
Beautiful old photograph; they all seem so relaxed...
Great answers to your tag. I did this one as well a while ago.;)
I like the fact that you have forgotten last time you cried.;) I cry almost every other day.;)
Hey congrats on your award! Well deserved as always :-)
Love the fact that Sammy did a lot of charity work. It often comes from your roots - if one does not have much as a child, it's good to give back when one can.
Keep well Keith!

Wonderful Sammy shot and tag Keith! I loved that such brief answers could hold so much. Must google 'Bojangles' restaurant!! It sounds very much like a Dino type of place. Also, thank you so much for passing the award on... deeply honored! Hope your week is going swell. :)
Thanks Liya. Cheers!
Hey Gabbi. Thanks. You are very welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed my answers. Bojangles is a popular place here in the South. They have fried chicken, biscuits, etc. They do it more Cajun style or what they consider Cajun style.
