Just for Lovers
# Just for Lovers

Just for Lovers is the second studio album by Sammy Davis Jr., released in 1955.

An album of romantic ballads, Just for Lovers eschews the comedic impressions of featured on Davis' previous album but ends with Danny Kaye's upbeat song "Happy Ending".

The Allmusic review by William Ruhlmann awarded the album three and a half stars and said that Davis's performance on the album showed him "as a ballad singer, he revealed the powerful influence of Billy Eckstine." "Davis broke out at the end with a bravura reading of "Happy Ending," here, at least for a couple of minutes, Davis threw in the kind of dynamic elements he so enjoyed showing off in his live performances. Otherwise, this was a surprisingly subdued recording for him"
