Probably Sammy Davis, Jr.'s last TV performance. He died of lung cancer about a year later. At the end, he tells Paul Shaffer "No rehearsal. See--better!" This explains the very light touch by the band until the tempo changes--they've never played with this man before, and he's a legend among legends! But when they hit the groove, they all swing. All in all, a very tasty performance. (Imagine being able to just walk onto live TV and pull this off effortlessly! It's mind-boggling....) Sammy's one of my heroes, and while his shtick was sometimes hard to take, there's no debating his prodigious talent, even in that last year of his life.

Yeah, but a few weeks before his death he had his whole larynx removed, but they were too late. That's smoking for ya.

It's hard to pick a one of todays performers that match this level of talent. No lip syncing there, just simple perfection.

He didn't die of lung cancer. He died have a throat cancer that he refused to have treated because it would have meant not singing any more.
