Sammy Davis Jr. Belts the Best of Broadway is a 1962 studio album by Sammy Davis Jr., arranged by Marty Paich

The Wham of Sam is a 1961 studio album by Sammy Davis Jr., arranged by Marty Paich and Morty Stevens.

The Allmusic review by Lindsay Planer awarded the album four stars and said that Davis' "untouchable sense of rhythmic flair unleashes some lighthearted interaction between the vocalist and hard-driving instrumentalists." Wikipedia
