Here is a song from the wonderful movie Doctor Dolittle performed by the "little giant" Sammy Davis, Jr.
Anthony Newley mentioned that Sammy was the first person he actually played the Dolittle score for while he was staying at the home of Sam during one of his visits to the States in 1966. Upon hearing it, Sammy told him he liked it so much he promised to record it. Sammy's New York hometown protégé Bobby Darin must have also been quite impressed, because he later recorded his own version of Dolittle with the help of arranger Roger Kellaway. Darin's is a very nice set too, but this one by Sammy is definitive! Enjoy!
