The Shocking reason SAMMY DAVIS JR.never sang at JFK’S White House!
John F. Kennedy was a leader in civil rights, but he banned black superstar Sammy Davis Jr. from performing at the White House because he wed blonde Swedish actress May Britt!
That’s the shocking revelation of Davis and Britt’s daughter Tracey, 52, in her bombshell new book “Sammy Davis Jr.: A Personal Journey with My Father”.
“Sammy expected to entertain JFK and Jackie at the Inaugural Ball,” says a source. “He was crushed when he was shunned by the new President.”
Britt was the second of Davis’ three wives and the love of his life, says their daughter. The couple had Tracey and adopted two sons during their eight year marriage which ended in 1968. But racial prejudice was rampant in the 1960s.
