Davis learned to dance from his father and his "uncle" Will Mastin. Davis joined the act as a child and they became the Will Mastin Trio. Throughout his career, Davis included the Will Mastin Trio in his billing. Mastin and his father shielded him from racism, such as by explaining race-based snubs as jealousy. However, when Davis served in the United States Army during World War II, he was confronted by strong prejudice. He later said: "Overnight the world looked different. It wasn't one color any more. I could see the protection I'd gotten all my life from my father and Will. I appreciated their loving hope that I'd never need to know about prejudice and hate, but they were wrong. It was as if I'd walked through a swinging door for 18 years, a door which they had always secretly held open." At age seven, Davis played the title role in the film Rufus Jones for President, in which he sang and danced with Ethel Waters. He lived for several years in Boston's South End, and reminisced years later about "hoofing and singing" at Izzy Ort's Bar & Grille.

He was born in Harlem, and his parents were music hall artists. Sammy Davis Jr. would learn how to do everything: sing, perform, dance, act… He had such an unmistakeable voice, and together with his look, his “attitude” and his unshakable feeling for putting on a show, it made him a complete artist and he became one of the most famous crooners of the 20th century. Prepared by Olivier Julien, this 3CD anthology throws light on recordings by the man they called “Mr. Entertainment.” He was no doubt the first black Superstar in America, a figure whose peers included Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.
