Sammy Davis Meets Sam Butera & The Witnesses – When The Feeling Hits You! (1965)Vocal jazz
I began to be a big fan of Sammy Davis after buying the box set "Yes I Can." Thankfully Collectors Choice is reissuing many of his former albums recorded at Reprise.
I had already bought the first 9 put out last year, and just last week purchased "When The Feeling Hits You." Although I thought this was a live album, it is "Recorded Wild in Las Vegas." You will need to read the liner notes. Anyway, I got home late and put this CD on. As I said, put the lights down, light the candles, grab your sweetheart and let the night begin. My favourite track is "This Is Always." I am listening to this track as I write this. Pure perfection!!!!!
Sammy and the rest of the gang may be gone, but perfect treasures as this will live on forever. Enjoy!!!
