Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. I read this last in the barbershop in New York in 1965 when it came out. There is much similarity between Sammy Davis Jr.'s story and Barrack Obama's, especially the theme of Obama's campaign being, "Yes,we can." ( ) A well-written and fascinating account of Sammy's growing up in the last days of vaudeville, living with Jim Crow laws, serving in WWII, and breaking into the big time. Lots of introspection and fabulous memories with legendary names. The story ends with his marriage to May Britt and the birth of his first child. His love for them is palpable - but marred by the knowledge that they divorced later! Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Distincions
When Sammy Davis, Jr. published his autobiography in 1965, it was an immediate long-running bestseller as well as a revelation. Yes I Can describes Sammy Davis's personal conviction, the view of success that both propelled him to stardom from ghetto obscurity and served as his armor against racism.
