Yes I Can is the self-portrait of one of the extraordinary men of our time, who became a figure of controversy because he dared to live his life not as a Negro but as a man. "I've got to be a star like another man has to breathe" writes Sammy Davis. "I've got to get so big, so powerful, so famous that the day will come when they'll look at me and see a man, and then somewhere along the way they'll notice he's a Negro."

Sammy Davis Jr. was trailblazer in the entertainment industry and broke down barriers through his excellence, hard work and most of all perseverance. This book in his own words chronicles his life and experiences as America was changing in the 50s and 60s. This book paints an excellent picture of how the volatile beginnings of desegregation affected him and how he adapted from vaudeville schtick to polished solo performer. This book was written in 1965 so it isn’t the full picture of his life, but it is an entertaining snap shot of his recounting of his life when he was 40. It’s quite compelling and worth the listen.
