“I’ve Gotta Be Me” #11 3/8/1969

After a five-year absence, this marked Sammy Davis, Jr.’s return to pop stardom and was also a #1 easy listening hit for seven weeks. The song first appeared in the Broadway show “Golden Rainbow” starring Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gormé. Sammy, ever the Rat Pack guy, struck up a friendship with Elvis when they were both late 60’s Vegas headliners. Bet that made for some unique after-show parties.
