Daddy's Lecture: The Rhythm of Life (Sammy Davis Jr.) | Sweet Charity (1969) | Comedy Bites Vintage

Sammy Davis Jr. plays Big Daddy in Sweet Charity, performing the iconic hit "Rhythm of Life" as Charity (Shirley MacLaine) and Oscar (John McMartin) join the strange new church!

What is Sweet Charity (1969) about?
Shirley MacLaine gives one of her greatest performances in this spectacular musical based on Neil Simon's smash Broadway hit. Director Bob Fosse broke new cinematic ground with this freewheeling, visually stunning story of a lovelorn New York dance hall hostess, Charity Hope Valentine, who dreams of old-fashioned romance but gives her heart to one undeserving man after another.

MacLaine joins all-star cast members Chita Rivera, Sammy Davis Jr., Ricardo Montalban and Stubby Kaye in belting out thirteen vibrant Cy Coleman-Dorothy Fields' numbers including Big Spender, Rhythm of Life, There's Gotta Be Something Better Than This and the show-stopping If My Friends Could See Me Now. It's an unforgettable production of an all-time classic.
