Milton fotografierte Sammy Davis Jr. 1955 für sein erstes Albumcover. Als Milton und Amy Greene Sammy trafen, wurden sie sofort Freunde, eine Beziehung, die ein Leben lang hielt. Dieses Bild von einem tadellos gekleideten Sammy spiegelt seinen wahren Stil wider. Mit einer Hand oben und einer unten hat Sammy einen Mr. Bojangles-Look.
The way Milton Greene captured Sammy mid-moment is pure magic—you can almost hear the tap shoes and the laugh. It's a 1955 album cover shot, but framed and printed, it feels like a living piece of jazz history. I've stared at it every day since it arrived.
Even though it’s a still photo, you can almost hear the music from how alive his pose feels. It’s a beautiful piece of history that captures that instant friendship between Greene and Davis. I’m glad I grabbed this to frame.
The way the camera catches his motion mid-dance makes the 1955 shoot feel alive, not staged. Print quality is sharp enough to see the texture in his suit, and the friendship between the photographer and Sammy comes through in every frame.
