I just noticed that the late, great Sammy Davis Jr’s birthday, Dec. 8, came and went over the weekend. I miss the talented man, who broke down racial barriers through high great singing, dancing and even acting skills. Yes, even the latter, as judged by his appearance on the TV classic “All in the Family””…http://blog.beliefnet.com/changingchannels/files/2012/12/Sammy_Davis_Jr-w.jpg
