That's All! is a 1967 live album by Sammy Davis Jr., released and recorded by Reprise Records at the Sands Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. That's All! was recorded in 1966 by Reprise Records producer Jimmy Bowen, and engineer Eddie Brackett.[2] The record is a collection of songs and routines from a six show run Davis did at the Sands.
This run at the Sands took place shortly after Davis finished his two year run with the Broadway musical Golden Boy by Charles Strouse, which caused Davis to take a break from entertaining in night clubs. The significance of That's All! compared to Davis' other entries is highlighted in Gary Fishgall's book Gonna Do Great Things. "With the jokes, the soaring musical numbers, and the surprise bits here and there, Sammy Davis Jr.: That's All! perfectly captured and preserved that moment in time when the entertainer was relishing his return to the nightclub circuit and was at the very top of his game."[2]
