Sammy Davis, Jr. made another comeback as a record seller at age 46 with his number-one version of "The Candy Man" from the film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and his LP Sammy Davis Jr. Now in the first half of 1972. Only months later, Portrait of Sammy Davis, Jr. is the follow-up album, containing the intended follow-up hit single, "The People Tree," another song in the bouncy style of "The Candy Man," again written by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley.

Sammy Davis Jr. December 8, 1925 – May 16, 1990. Being a star made it possible for me to get insulted in places where the average Negro could never hope to go and get insulted. Realizing that Sammy wasn’t going to be around much longer, a television special was planned. 26 entertainers had a two-and-a-half-hour tribute to Sammy, which he attended. At the end of it (it aired Feb 4), Sammy got up, did not speak, and did a little soft-shoe to a standing ovation. He entered Cedars Sinai Medical Center because the cancer had returned. On the 13th of March, Sammy went home to die. One report stated that Davis had dwindled to a mere 60 pounds and was in the fetal position
