Sammy Davis Jr - I Gotta Right To Swing
Review by Stuart Grierson
Sammy Davis Jr.'s album "I Gotta Right To Swing" is a masterpiece that showcases the legendary performer's impressive musical range and undeniable talent. Released in 1960, the album features Davis Jr.'s signature blend of jazz, pop, and swing, with each track delivering a powerful and soulful performance.
The album's title track, "I Gotta Right To Swing," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its upbeat tempo and Davis Jr.'s smooth vocals. Other standout tracks include "Yes I Can," "Something's Gotta Give," and "Love Me or Leave Me," all of which highlight Davis Jr.'s impeccable timing and ability to convey deep emotion through his singing.
One of the most remarkable aspects of "I Gotta Right To Swing" is the way in which Davis Jr. effortlessly blends different genres of music. From the jazzy "My Funny Valentine" to the pop-infused "Easy to Love," Davis Jr. proves himself to be a true master of his craft.
