Sammy Davis Jr. performs for members of the 1st Cavalry Division. Vietnam, 1972

On Nixon’s special request, Davis made a USO tour to South Vietnam as a representative of President Nixon’s Special Action Office For Drug Abuse Prevention. Davis was there to observe the military drug abuse rehabilitation program, and talk to and entertain the troops. In this photograph, Davis sings for a small group of soldiers working with nothing but a microphone – no band, no backing tracks. A true singer.
