Sammy Davis Jr Autograph

by Gerald Smith

I was nine or ten years old when my mother took me to see Sammy Davis Jr perform. I don't remember where, but I do remember him singing the Candy Man song.

At the end of the show, he went out into the lobby to sign autographs. My mother and I walked up to him, and he looked down and saw me. He reached for my book that had his picture on the cover with his legs crossed, wearing orange and gray striped pants.

On the back cover, Sammy gives the peace sign and next to that, it says "Peace & Love." Under those words he signed his name.
