Merv Griffin Show
'Mr. Bojangles, the Ultimate Entertainer" was Sammy Davis Jr's moniker. The popular singer and stage and film actor who started touring with his family's troupe, the Will Mastin Trio, at age three. He was a member of Frank Sinatra's “Rat Pack.” In the early days, when he first appeared in Las Vegas like most African Americans he was not allowed to stay in the same hotel he performed in. Sinatra's influence changed that.
