SD sort of defied the norm of what we often think a celebrity should look like. He wasn't tall and handsome and he was black at a time when many talented people were rejected because of cruel rascism. I remember stories of him having to come through the back door, and not being allowed to stay in the hotels where he headlined. In fact I remember some breakthrough show when Sammy Davis kissed the ultimate bigot, Archie Bunker. (or something like that) It was on that show that Archie said, "I know you're black and you can't help that, but why did you have to convert to being a Jew?"
The man was a pioneer who made life easier for minority peoples after him.
He was also part of "The Rat Pack" if that triggers anything.

Naveah!
Where ya been?!! I was about ready to call your mamma, LOL.
I am still wondering and praying regarding this dream, however when I read your post again this morning about what Chuck Pierce said this verse also came to my me. Both verses are symbolic of "tasting" the goodness of the Lord.
Hugs,
Joy
Psalm 34:7-9 (King James Version)
7The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
8O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
9O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
Mark 14:22-24 (King James Version)
22And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.
23And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.
24And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
