Dean had a home in Palm Desert and when his son died in the plane crash many people where greatly concerned about his welfare, Frank was constantly visiting him and always taking him to restaurants when he could get him outside. I delivered the Daily News to the residence when I was a young boy and occasionally I met him when I had to collect for the paper, he was a great tipper and gave me a 10 dollar bill for Christmas time. thanks again for showing this, Dean was a part of the desert community along with Bob Hope and Frank Sinatra. It was not unusual to see Dean driving in town or at the store, always a nice guy.
@ Bill Kriner Thank you for sharing your somewhat sad, and wonderful memories Bill. I love Dean Martin's music. I've always felt that I was born in the wrong era. Some have made fun of me for being into his music. Thank God, we will have his music forever. 😊🌼✌
This video is not correct on one thing Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis were good freinds for years and stared together in alot movies. Until they had a big fall out with each other and they never talked to each other after that at all. You need to research your information more. Then the rat pack became the rat pack was only three people Dean Martin Sammy Davis Jr and Frank Sinatra. I grew up watching them and all them had ties with the mafia especially Frank Sinatra so before you make a video get your facts straight. I enjoy your videos cuz always have your facts straight but in this case you don't and people my age know what i just told you. But thank you for your videos
I'm one of Dean's biggest fans. Everything that you have mentioned I know by heart. Just to let you know that this is by far the best information ever shared about Dean with the viewers. What I admire about your or information is that you're very detailed, and very informative. God bless and may he rest in peace.
I’ve read also that In the early days if Sammy Davis wasn’t respected in places they were to perform Dean refused to go in until Sammy was also welcomed.
At venues where the Rat Pack was performing some hotels/casinos said that Sammy had to come in through a back door. When told that, Sinatra said Sammy enters with the whole Pack or the Pack wouldn't perform. After that there were no problems for Sammy.
Regis Philbin who used to work on the Dean Martin Show said there was no rehearsals for the show. Dean just came out and did his thing. An amazing talent but nothing beats his Roasts.
Martin was more involved with the show the first two years, so I've read. That included the dress rehearsal and final taping. Later, he showed up around noon. He watched a recording of his stand-in doing his stuff. Then, he went out and did it, relying on cue cards and his own adl-ibs. He sang songs he was familiar with. If there was something new, he was supplied tapes to listen to before the show. (Tom Bosley claimed Dean only sang four songs per season, with a range of four notes. That wasn't true.) The taping was arranged so Dean did his stuff first, then the solo numbers were taped. Dean was out of the tux and relaxing at home while the show continued taping.
The same thing happened to Johnny Carson when his son died. Both suffered losses of adult children at a time of life when none of us are as emotionally strong as we once were.
I remember "The Dean Martin Show" as being the funniest show on TV. It always looked like so much fun and they broke up more in skits than "The Carol Burnett Show". He had every major star on that show at the time.
Excellent vlog Jordan. I loved watching old Dean and jerry movies they were so funny. He had an awesome mansion. You can understand Dean giving up after his sons death no parent ever gets over their child's death. Well done Jordan.
I was crazy for Dino (of Dino, Desi and Billy) back in the day and I've always admired his famous Dad. I remember when DD&B sang in "Murderers Row", one of Dean's "Matt Helm" movies. It was heartbreaking when Dino died. Dean Sr. never got over losing his beautiful son. Amy is correct - Dean did NOT drink alcohol when he performed. He joked about it, but it was all part of his act. Anyway, THANK YOU for doing this wonderful vlog on a true Hollywood icon.
He was always so cool, and had a voice that made you tingle (and I was just a kid!) The end was so sad. Just saw his episode of "Autopsy" and Scott Michaels' vid of his empty home in Palm Springs. You always include important research, are the #1 storyteller in my opinion. I always appreciate your thoroughness.
4 kids with the first wife. Dean didn't come to any practices during the week, but he showed up for the taping with all of his songs ect performed perfectly. Now they did adlib lines which he thought would not have same effect if rehearsed. I'm not sure, but I don't believe he knew who the special guest was so his reaction could be spontaneous Everyone should read Deana Martin's book- Memories Are Made of This.
This was a very good Vlog! I always liked Dean Martin's singing voice better than Frank Sinatra's. It is sad that he and Jerry Lewis didn't remain friends throughout their lives. It was so nice to hear that Dean Martin stood up for Sammy Davis Jr.
There is just something about that time period that always interests me and I’ve been watching a lot about it lately. Great vlog! Thanks for the drive at the end.
What a great vlog today it's nice to see Amy and little Jah Dean Martin I love his music never get tired listening to him he always cheers me up and his movies also and The Rat Pack sad about his Son I love Scotts story thanks Jordan for bringing us hear today keep safe Jordan and Amy and all Lionheart's love you all Marie Dublin Ireland
Love Dean Martin! Still here watching you and Jah! Take care and be safe. Haven't been out since March 14 th myself. With my heart problems it scares me. Prayers
Sorry to hear you are not so well we are living in very challenging times hear in Ireland it's just the same people are frightened but our Government are doing all they can Sending Prayers to you wherever you are living and to all you nice people in the USA Marie Dublin Ireland
I always wanted to know more about Dean Martin, thank you. I work at a casino and we have a machine of Dean Martin, I love walking by it and hearing Dean sing. Thank you.
Dean Martin with such a talented man and a loyal one to his friends. For years we thought it was Jerry Lewis that broke up the duo but years ago I heard that it was actually Dean Martin wanted out. I love the way you tell the history of all these people. Is so respectful and full of facts and not speculation. Very entertaining and informative. It's also nice to see that you and Amy are back together. You both seem very happy.
My late grandpa loved Vegas - he also had a thing for the ladies... and gambling. He once told a story where he was in a casino and Dean Martin sat next to him and chatted with him and wanted to buy him a drink. Since grandpa wasn’t a drinker he tried to decline, but relented after it was insisted. This was during the Martin and Lewis era, and my grandpa also said Jerry Lewis entered the casino and was very rude to a fan. Grandpa didn’t like Jerry Lewis after that but Dean Martin was just the greatest guy as far as he was concerned.
T0 Marnie: your grandpa was right. Jerry Lewis could be a little short to fan's and people in general. I was at a music store in Cincinnati. Lewis was working at Beverly hills night club across the bridge in northern Kentucky. Lewis walked in and needed a trumpet to use in his act. The salesman offered Lewis a cheap entry level model because it was only a prop. Lewis became a real asshole and bought the most expensive model they had. So much for looking out for the customer
Great blog! Love Dean Martin! Such a great talent. So sad how he just gave up after the death of his son. You did a great job on this. Thanks for all your hard work.
My parents loved Dean Martin! They had his albums and would play them often! His voice was smooth as wine; even though he smoked! His Comedy Show was fabulous! I know that I loved him! So glad that he stood up for Sammy! Frank did too! Jordan, you are the best! Blessing and safety! (Your girlfriend Amy, is so beautiful!) Safety & Blessings! 🙏😇🙏💕
Been waiting for you to do a blog on Dean Martin. He is my favorite actor, singer...man. Oh and he had 4 kids with first wife Betty and 3 with second wife Jeanne. Thank Jordon. Always watch you.
I live in Steubenville, Ohio and there are murals all over of Dean Martin. State Route 7 is named in his honor. There's an annual festival for him as well that his daughter hosts. The only sad part of his life besides his son passing away is the fact he passed away on Christmas Day
Always enjoy seeing Jah’s little walking strut down the Hollywood streets like saying, “Yes, I have arrived and I am on a mission.” So cute and sweet❣Thank you Jordan for taking us down memory lane all the way down to his mansion on Maple Drive. Always such a treat to see your videos. Rip Dean and Dino. Still remembered in 2024. ❤🙏🌟💐🌴
On TH-cam you can see Frank and Dean sons singing together. I cried so much that Christmas. I am a big fan of his. I am pleased that he didn't abandon his the first 3 children. Thank you Jordan and Amy. Stay safe
Hi Jordan, I had no idea that Lou Costello paid for a nose job for Dean Martin! I enjoyed hearing more of his background. He and I share the same BD.😊 Corona Virus or not, your vlogs retain their high quality and fascinating topics. The expression on Jah’s face cracks me up. LOL. Always good to see Amy!
Thanks so much , I had the great fortune of seeing him In Vegas, and also with Sinatra at Westchester in the 1970ies , what a loss but how very very blessed I am.... No one , I mean no one had talent like that.... Rest in peace Dean , Sammy , Francis.....
Jordan I just wanna say. I could have the crappiest day At work and at lunch watching your videos makes me smile. I love your positivity. And Amy is so beautiful
who'd thunk sunset plaza and the strip would look like that??? Wow!! the vlog was excellent! As a kid back in the 60/70's every friday we would watch the Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts. Back in those days friday night were the thing with that, don kirchner, the midnite special etc. Gee I miss all that!
Steubenville is my home town. They have a Dean Martin festival every summer and his daughter comes back for it. They have a mural of him in Steubenville also.
I have been to that cemetery more than 300 times in my life. It's a gorgeous and peaceful place. TV and movie history is right there at Pierce Brothers.
Thank you Jordan, Dean Martin was one of our most beloved entertainers. So much talent. Kind of forgotten in his final days. I think he fell apart when his son got killed.
When I moved to Los Angeles 20 years ago, my first job was working as a waiter at The Hamburger Hamlet restaurant on Sunset Blvd. It was one of Dean Martin’s regular haunts when he was still alive. There was a table; a little 2- top as you entered the Tap Room area of the restaurant, where Mr. Martin preferred to sit. It was frequently requested and inquired about even though he had been gone 5+ years at that time. People from all over the world would ask about it. I worked there 4 years and met many, many people from that era of Hollywood, including his daughter Deana and her husband John. I sure miss that Hamburger Hamlet but it has gone the way of most of the Sunset Strip in the past decade or so...no more. Thanks Jordan- A guy after my own heart with this interesting history of all things Hollywood😎 ( I wrote this before watching - nice shout out to Hamburger Hamlet. :)
I'm only 28 years old and my grandpa was a huge John Wayne fan so naturally as a kid the first movie I saw Dean Martin in was Rio Bravo with John Wayne and Ricky Nelson and Walter Brennan. I liked the 2 songs they sang in the movie. That was the first time I watched Dean Martin. My father loves his movies with Jerry Lewis. Great vlog as always Jordan and as always look forward to seeing your next vlog.
I believe his ex wife Jeanie lived not far from Dean's house. It's a shame he didn't stay married to her. But at least they were close friends in the last years.
I saw another video something like this one (10 minutes ago) and the host / vlogger said that Dean gave Jeanie the house, and she lived there until she died in 2016.
Dean Martin was Mr Cool. Watched a lot of his movies and the shows on tv. Those shows were so funny. His celebrity roasts were hilarious. I remember when he lost his son in that plane crash. He never was the same after that. Some things I knew about him and some things I didn’t know about him. He was a good loyal friend to Sammy Davis Jr. It’s great that Scott Michaels got to meet him . Amy’s smart and pretty. Thank you for today’s video.
Hi Jordan this was a great vlog I loved Dean and his career a great talent who was so nonchalant in all he did ! When Dean bought Scott the beer I remember you saying Scott still has that beer can ! Great stuff TY
I read somewhere that Dean was one of few people Elvis idolized... He was also a great friend of Marilyns and stood up for her when Fox tried to replace her in "Something's got to give". Dean had final approval of his leading lady, and refused to continue without Marilyn...
The ‘Rat Pack’ was actually formed in the late ‘40’s, with Humphrey Bogart as the recognized leader. It was Lauren Bacall that came up with the name ‘Rat Pack’ after looking at the group the morning after a night of carousing. Sinatra joined soon after, with the Pack most people recognize joining in the early ‘60s.
Xmas music for us was always Dino 1st & foremost followed by Nat King Cole & Jack Jones w/ a splash of the original White Christmas album. Rosie Clooney!
Hi Jordan, my day just got better seeing Amy & Jah. Ah, good old Deano, what a great singer with some truly memorable songs. I used to love his films with Jerry Lewis, I never knew they did that many. Wow, well, what a place to live, WHAT A HOUSE!! I think for the lifestyle he led with all that heavy smoking and drinking that was quite a good age to pass away. Great vlog Jordan.
The more I see todays so called talented entertainers, the more I gravitate to the yrs of Deano's hay days. He truly was an entertainer and w a voice like no other. May he RIP.
Most of the Rat Pack fell in line behind Frank Sinatra. Martin was different. He was sort of off to the side, never treating Frank like a leader. He didn't need a leader. Frank sort of resented that, and hungered for Dean's admiration.
I think Frank Sinatra was cool is his way as Dean Martin was I think they BOTH HAD THAT CLASS- As MANY--- MEN.... during that time HAD. AND NOT! AS NOW--- ALSO I LIKED YEARS AGO- THE MEN. HAD A JOB. WOMEN STAYED 🏡 TOOK CARE OF THE CHILDREN.. THE DINNER WAS READY AND ALL THAT---THE FAMILY ATE TOGETHER, DID-THINGS---TOGETHER.. SUNDAY'S FAMILIES WILL GET TOGETHER FOR DINNER... AND THE CHILDREN -COUSINS WOULD BE IN THE YARD PLAYING ATTENDED CHURCH+++, ETC.
The rat pack started several years earlier, with Humphrey Bogart and his circle of friends, including David Niven, Judy Garland, Sinatra, and others. They were christened as resembling a rat pack by Lauren Bacall. The group around Sinatra was a later incarnation.
The best.Their is a great clip if Dean on the Carson show from 1975 that is classic.Bob Hope is on the panel.He was the first guest.Dean comes out and obviously a little drunk.He just kills it.Funny as hell
A legend forever always nice to see clips about Dean Martin unforgettable. Sure if you look deeper he and Frank had friends who where famous but regardless legends forever.
When you see the footage of MM’s funeral, not a lot has changed inside since then. Every year a memorial service is being held there to honour and remember her.
Great video, Jordan. My adolescent crush was Dean Martin! His show came on every Thursday night at 10pm on NBC and I would stay up to watch it each week-even though it was on a school night. On my 16th birthday, my 2 best friends went in together and bought me the latest Dean Martin album. The best birthday present I ever got!! Thanks for this great video on my man, Dino. :-)
Dean had cue cards. I remember that one with Bob Newhart returning the gift of a toupee his wife had given him! 🤣 He promised his second wife Jeannie that he’d always be home to eat dinner with the family & he would tell Sinatra, he was going home. That was sad...the death of Dean Paul...not long after Rick Nelson passed with whom Dean played in Rio Bravo. Dean’s mother also passed away on Christmas Day.
Dean had a home in Palm Desert and when his son died in the plane crash many people where greatly concerned about his welfare, Frank was constantly visiting him and always taking him to restaurants when he could get him outside. I delivered the Daily News to the residence when I was a young boy and occasionally I met him when I had to collect for the paper, he was a great tipper and gave me a 10 dollar bill for Christmas time. thanks again for showing this, Dean was a part of the desert community along with Bob Hope and Frank Sinatra. It was not unusual to see Dean driving in town or at the store, always a nice guy.

I love Dean Martin's music. I've always felt that I was born in the wrong era. Some have made fun of me for being into his music.
Thank God, we will have his music forever.
😊🌼✌
They don't make them like Dean anymore. He is one of a kind and Hollywood just isn't the same without him. RIP Dino and GOD BLESS.

I don't know how Jerry Lewis got along with anyone, or had any friends. He was an awful human being.
I'm one of Dean's biggest fans. Everything that you have mentioned I know by heart. Just to let you know that this is by far the best information ever shared about Dean with the viewers. What I admire about your or information is that you're very detailed, and very informative. God bless and may he rest in peace.
I never imagined I would see the streets of L.A. so empty.
Thanks for sharing Dean Martin. That's Amore.
I’ve read also that In the early days if Sammy Davis wasn’t respected in places they were to perform Dean refused to go in until Sammy was also welcomed.

Dean and his first wife Betty had 4 children together Deana is the youngest.
I happen to enjoy his music. Especially Mambo Italiano, Baby It's Cold Outside and Return To Me just name a few. He sure could sing!
Regis Philbin who used to work on the Dean Martin Show said there was no rehearsals for the show. Dean just came out and did his thing. An amazing talent but nothing beats his Roasts.

The taping was arranged so Dean did his stuff first, then the solo numbers were taped. Dean was out of the tux and relaxing at home while the show continued taping.
I’ve always thought that Dean gave up when his son died. It was a massive blow.
The same thing happened to Johnny Carson when his son died. Both suffered losses of adult children at a time of life when none of us are as emotionally strong as we once were.
Chiming in I agree
mxnfx why all the dots. No being sarcastic, just curious
natalee217 Spacebar may be on the fritz.
Such a detesting nightmare for Dean to lose his first born in such a manner.
Love to watch Dean Martin at piano singing “Ain’t That A Kick in the Head. Ain’t no better song.
That song started my son on a love of Dean Martin
Dean Martin what a Gift!!
Loved Dean Martin. Enjoyed his singing, acting and comedy. Always thought he was all right. 💞
He was great in Rio bravo
I got to see Dean Martin in Las Vegas when I was a teenager in the 60's... He was gorgeous!!❤
i liked him in the Sons of Katy Elder with John Wayne
Agreed. It is a classic.
I’m so intrigued by Jordan’s videos! I’ve been watching them everyday during lockdown 🙌🏼 Great work man
I remember "The Dean Martin Show" as being the funniest show on TV. It always looked like so much fun and they broke up more in skits than "The Carol Burnett Show". He had every major star on that show at the time.
Loved the Jerry Lewis telethon when Dean Martin performed with Frank Sinatra. God Bless Dean Martin.
Excellent vlog Jordan. I loved watching old Dean and jerry movies they were so funny. He had an awesome mansion. You can understand Dean giving up after his sons death no parent ever gets over their child's death. Well done Jordan.

He was always so cool, and had a voice that made you tingle (and I was just a kid!) The end was so sad. Just saw his episode of "Autopsy" and Scott Michaels' vid of his empty home in Palm Springs. You always include important research, are the #1 storyteller in my opinion. I always appreciate your thoroughness.
4 kids with the first wife. Dean didn't come to any practices during the week, but he showed up for the taping with all of his songs ect performed perfectly. Now they did adlib lines which he thought would not have same effect if rehearsed. I'm not sure, but I don't believe he knew who the special guest was so his reaction could be spontaneous Everyone should read Deana Martin's book- Memories Are Made of This.
Great video and Dean Martin was my favorite entertainer. Now a days it's just not the same anymore. They don't make em like dean anymore.

A hidden gem that cemetery.Always love Deans singing.Great video Love your little dog.He looks like he’s saying let me sleep.
During the Prohibition Dean was a card dealer at a club in Youngstown, Ohio..
He grew up in Steubenville, Ohio where my grandparents lived!
My friend Carmen (RIP) played his girlfriend in Some Came Running. I listened to best of Dean Martin this past Sunday. Good vlog!
My family’s from Steubenville always love hearing stories about him
Great minds think alike. I’ve been watching a lot of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis shows lately. Dean is one of my absolute favorite singers. 👍
Your doggie is sooo cute!! His face in the beginning was priceless!!

Thanks for the tour this morning and it really brought back some old memories.
Thank you thank you thank you.The best there ever was !I love Dean Martin.I was so definitely born too late
Wow...... crazy to think Dean Martin is laying right there right behind that wall. Unreal!.........my favorite Dean Martin movie is Kiss Me, Stupid.
Hi Jordan, loved my Dino his songs bring memories to me. Thank you and hugs and kisses to baby Jah ..
Oh my I love Dean Martin and I can listen to him all day. Thank you Jordan this made my day. Love and Light...
Hi Jordan this was a great vlog I loved Dean and his career a great talent who was so nonchalant in all he did ! When Dean bought Scott the beer I remember you saying Scott still has that beer can ! Great stuff TY
I read somewhere that Dean was one of few people Elvis idolized... He was also a great friend of Marilyns and stood up for her when Fox tried to replace her in "Something's got to give". Dean had final approval of his leading lady, and refused to continue without Marilyn...
The ‘Rat Pack’ was actually formed in the late ‘40’s, with Humphrey Bogart as the recognized leader. It was Lauren Bacall that came up with the name ‘Rat Pack’ after looking at the group the morning after a night of carousing. Sinatra joined soon after, with the Pack most people recognize joining in the early ‘60s.
Love Dean, great vlog. Hi Amy nice to see you again. Thanks Jordan.
Thanks for that one Jordan. I'll mark that as one of my favorites! I love Dean Martin. And thanks for changing the intro song back!
I have been to Westwood twice and never thought to look in the chapel. Thanks for doing that!
I absolutely loved Dean Martin growing up. Him, Clint and Robert Redford
Just loved this video, Jordan! Wonderful info and pictures! Thanks to you & Amy and I loved her Doors t-shirt too!
Dean Martin was my first “crush” as a young girl and still play his Christmas album every year. Great details in your video that I wasn’t aware of !
Xmas music for us was always Dino 1st & foremost followed by Nat King Cole & Jack Jones w/ a splash of the original White Christmas album. Rosie Clooney!
Had to come back and watch this one again, I’m a little sentimental.
Dean Martin Roasts were awesome!
Great vlog - I love Dean Martin music - He was so cool
Thank You for this video. You provided more information about Dean Martin I hadn't heard before. Really enjoy your videos.
Great video....so weird to see the streets quiet like that! I loved Dean Martin. I had a crush on his son, too, when he was in the trio with Desi Jr.
Hi Jordan, my day just got better seeing Amy & Jah. Ah, good old Deano, what a great singer with some truly memorable songs. I used to love his films with Jerry Lewis, I never knew they did that many. Wow, well, what a place to live, WHAT A HOUSE!! I think for the lifestyle he led with all that heavy smoking and drinking that was quite a good age to pass away. Great vlog Jordan.
The more I see todays so called talented entertainers, the more I gravitate to the yrs of Deano's hay days. He truly was an entertainer and w a voice like no other. May he RIP.
The king of cool !! Frank wished he was a cool as Dean.
Most of the Rat Pack fell in line behind Frank Sinatra. Martin was different. He was sort of off to the side, never treating Frank like a leader. He didn't need a leader. Frank sort of resented that, and hungered for Dean's admiration.
I think Frank Sinatra was cool is his way as Dean Martin was
I think they BOTH HAD THAT CLASS-
As MANY--- MEN.... during that time HAD.
AND NOT! AS NOW---
ALSO I LIKED YEARS AGO- THE MEN. HAD A JOB.
WOMEN STAYED 🏡
TOOK CARE OF THE CHILDREN..
THE DINNER WAS READY AND ALL THAT---THE FAMILY ATE TOGETHER, DID-THINGS---TOGETHER..
SUNDAY'S FAMILIES WILL GET TOGETHER FOR DINNER... AND THE CHILDREN -COUSINS WOULD BE IN THE YARD PLAYING
ATTENDED CHURCH+++, ETC.
The Rat Pack consisted of Dean Martin and his amigos. I love that era, he was so funny especially when he would roast different celebrities.
The rat pack started several years earlier, with Humphrey Bogart and his circle of friends, including David Niven, Judy Garland, Sinatra, and others. They were christened as resembling a rat pack by Lauren Bacall. The group around Sinatra was a later incarnation.
Don Rickles on the Dean Roasts are so hilarious. Great vid💯💪🏾
The best.Their is a great clip if Dean on the Carson show from 1975 that is classic.Bob Hope is on the panel.He was the first guest.Dean comes out and obviously a little drunk.He just kills it.Funny as hell
I love Dean and Jerry Lewis movies. R.I.P Dean and Jerry. Thanks guys for video 😍
Loved the Dean Martin roasts.And he was truly a great singer and entertainer.
My favorite memory of Dean are the roasts too.Our family loved 'em.I was born in 1962 so I was little kid when those aired.
Hi Craig yes great times i was kid and watched the roast with my family too.
Hi Craig yes great times i was kid and watched the roast with my family too.
Thankyou. That was just the tonic I needed today
.A sad day when I heard that Dean had passed away. He will always be one of my favourite singers.
Fine vlog, Mr. Jordan. I liked Dean and it was such a sad ending to his life. Thanks for your work doing these. Keep safe, you!
A legend forever always nice to see clips about Dean Martin unforgettable.
Sure if you look deeper he and Frank had friends who where famous but regardless legends forever.
I LOVE IT🥰 Thank you so much for this insightful history on Dean Martin.
...thanks for this Jordan and Amy...the visit to Dean was great, and the house and drive down the Strip were bonuses...here's to Dean...
My folks were huge fans of Dean so I grew up with him but I never knew much about his personal life. Good research as always Jordan! Thanks!
Great vlog I love Dean Martin he's one of my favorites
Did you know that Dean's wife Jeanne Martin is buried in the ground right across from where Dean is? Surprised you didn't show her grave.
When you see the footage of MM’s funeral, not a lot has changed inside since then. Every year a memorial service is being held there to honour and remember her.
Great video, Jordan. My adolescent crush was Dean Martin! His show came on every Thursday night at 10pm on NBC and I would stay up to watch it each week-even though it was on a school night. On my 16th birthday, my 2 best friends went in together and bought me the latest Dean Martin album. The best birthday present I ever got!! Thanks for this great video on my man, Dino. :-)
Dean had cue cards. I remember that one with Bob Newhart returning the gift of a toupee his wife had given him! 🤣
He promised his second wife Jeannie that he’d always be home to eat dinner with the family & he would tell Sinatra, he was going home. That was sad...the death of Dean Paul...not long after Rick Nelson passed with whom Dean played in Rio Bravo. Dean’s mother also passed away on Christmas Day.
Elvis' Idol👍 Great story. Thanks
His voice melts me. ♥️
Amy is back! Nice to see ya!
