Music reviews of What Kind of Fool Am I and Other Show-Stoppers
Music Review: Not Sammy's First Reprise Recording
Rating: 5 Stars
As stated in the liner notes of this CD, there were two albums prior to this: "The Wham Of Sam", and "Sammy Davis Belts Out the Best Of Broadway", both from 1961. However this was the first commercially successful album that Davis had while at Reprise. Since the first two albums were virtually invisible to the record buying public by this time, they were quickly phased out of print, and the tracks (minus a few) were redistributed as filler in several later Sammy albums. This one was obviously a hasty attempt to cash in on the '62 hit "What Kind Of Fool Am I". The rest of the tracks are a 50/50 split of the previously mentioned albums. Because of this, Collector's Choice felt that Wham Of Sam, and Best Of Broadway weren't integral in representing Sammy's recording career at Reprise. Also missing from the CCM series is the "Golden Treasury Of Hits" from 1963, and "Sammy Steps Out" from 1970.
