I'd be interested to get your thoughts on the great man, Sammy Davis Jr.

Personally I love his singing and style, especially the classic album - Sammy Sings Country.

There is a school of thought that puts him in the 'Uncle Tom' sell out catagory, which I personally think grossly underestimates his talent and lyrical skillz.

Any thoughts?

Incidentally why do Americans constantly spell centre as center - thay cant all be as stupid as they appear in their films?
