"The Shelter Of Your Arms" #17 3/7/1964 Bonus

Sammy Davis Jr. hadn't had a hit for several years until this one from March of '64. He wouldn't have another until 1968's "I've Gotta Be Me." No matter. Sammy was an integral part of what made old school Vegas go 'round, along with fellow Rat Pack members Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. They kept the Strip jumping back in the day. The tune was written by Jerry Samuels, who later became notorious as Napoleon XIV with our recent feature "They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!"
