Frank Sinatra Sammy Davis Jr.
Yes.
The final tour of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr.--billed as 'Frank, Dean, and Sammy: Together Again--had been arranged largely as an attempt to revive Dean Martin's enthusiasm for performing following his son's tragic death. Unfortunately, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin no longer enjoyed the close relationship they had during the 1960s. In Chicago, Sinatra did not like his hotel accomodations and insisted Dean and Sammy leave the hotel with him to seek more suitable lodging. Sammy agreed but Dean refused. The final break came after one concert, when Frank accused Dean of performing his musical set in an uninterested, lackluster manner. Dean returned to his hotel room, packed his bags, and boarded an airplane back to his home in Las Vegas, refusing to participate in the remainder of the tour. Dean was replaced in the 'Together Again' tour by former Rat Pack 'mascot' Shirley MacLaine.
According to the Duets anthology DVD, Sinatra saw Sammy perform while he was still a nobody in the Army. He had an act with his father and uncle. Frank went to see him at the stage door.
The Rat Pack is the nickname given to a group of popular entertainers most active between the mid-1950s and mid-1960s. Its most famous line-up featured Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop, who appeared together in films and on stage in the early 1960s. Despite its reputation as a masculine group of people, the Rat Pack did have female participants, such as movie icons Shirley MacLaine, Lauren Bacall, and Judy Garland. Contents

There are photos of Sammy Davis Jr. on the Dean Martin show dressed as Santa Clause.. Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin look to be having such a wonderful time. These two really always seemed to love being around one another. They were definitely great pallies. It would be so cool to open the door to find Sammy as Santa Claus standing there. I wonder what sort of gifts he would be bringing. What would you like Sammy Claus to bring you? I didn`t know that Sammy Davis Jr had appeared on the Dean Martin show until I saw these photos.
