On this day in 1967, Sammy was at Olympic Studios in South London, recording songs for his album celebrating the music of Doctor Dolittle. All of the songs were written by his friend Leslie Bricusse. Here’s a terrific clip from 1969 of Sammy performing one of them, “At the Crossroads,” live in concert. #sammydavisjr #sammydavis #sammydavisjunior #sdj #sammycentennial #music #history #onthisday #ratpack #theratpack #doctordolittle #lesliebricusse #live #concert #fashion #1960s | Sammy Davis Jr.
