missfee said:  Unbelievable performance. These are actually some of the very first vidoes I´ve ever seen of Sammy.
Why did he smoke during those performances? "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

There's a video per4mance of him tap dancing at 8 years old in one of the Ethel Waters movies,,,,I'm sure somebody can spot that
Like MJ, he was gifted the 1st time he stepped outta the womb. | |

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

I remember watching Michael, Sammy, and The Nicholas Brothers when I was little, I knew what I wanted to do when I grew up  "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |
