Sammy Davis Jr - The Magic Collection

Review by Brian Canavan Canavan

The Magic Collection, an album by Sammy Davis Jr., is a compilation of some of his greatest hits from the 1950s and 1960s. The album features 20 tracks, each showcasing Davis Jr.'s incredible vocal range and his signature style of swing and jazz.

From the opening track "Mr. Bojangles" to the closing number "The Candy Man," The Magic Collection is a journey through Davis Jr.'s musical career. The album includes classic tracks like "I've Gotta Be Me," "What Kind of Fool Am I?," and "The Birth of the Blues," as well as lesser-known gems like "Something's Gotta Give" and "Too Close for Comfort."

Davis Jr.'s smooth, soulful voice is perfectly complemented by the orchestra and backing vocals on each track. The arrangements are timeless, and the songs themselves are a testament to Davis Jr.'s talent as both a singer and an entertainer.

Summary by Brian Canavan Canavan

The Magic Collection is a must-have for any fan of Sammy Davis Jr. or classic swing and jazz music. It's a perfect introduction to his work for new listeners and a great addition to any music collection.
