Song of the Day: Mr. Bojangles, words and music by Jerry Jeff Walker, has been recorded by many artists through the years. It became a signature tune for Sammy Davis Jr., who was born on this date one hundred years ago today. The song appears on the 1972 album, “Portrait of Sammy Davis, Jr.” The artist performed the song as a paean to the legendary tap dancer, singer, and actor Bill “Bojangles” Robinson.
