Dean Martin is an absolute Iconic Legend. He was so handsome and was Suave, Debonair, and had Charisma, He could sing, dance, do Comedy. His smile lit up a room! Love Dean Martin!!!!!!!
YES!! Dean Martin is a singer, an actor, a comedian, a TV star, a movie star, a radio star, & a huge nightclub star. Very few in the entertainment community have as lengthy a resume as Dean, & he excelled at all!!! Very few were as beloved worldwide as Dean, too. His signature song is the very beautiful Everybody Loves Somebody, a song that knocked The Beatles out of the #1 spot on the record charts in the summer of '64. Ain't That A Kick In The Head is another great one. Hundreds more, too, & every one of them will make you smile. If you want to learn more about the performer dubbed the King of Cool by none other than Elvis Presley, watch the 2021 bio-doc from TCM, appropriately called Dean Martin: King Of Cool. It's a great lesson on a very talented man who will make you smile whenever you see him and/or hear him.
Perfect analysis! One of the best of a time when music was pure talent and they were versatile as actors, singers, total entertainers. I miss those times
Dean was an actor, comedian, singer and part of the "Rat Pack" He did many movies in the 60's with Jerry Lewis, westerns and comedies. In interviews he always had a cigarette and cocktail in his hand.
He did movies and club acts with Lewis in the 40's and 50's, they had fallen out before the 60's, and had a long period where they didn't talk, almost 20 years.
@@denroy3 They did their last show as a team in 1956. That was their ten year anniversary as a duo. They were reunited on the Jerry Lewis telethon orchestrated by Frank Sinatra. But it wasn't until 1987 with the death of Dean's son Dino that they became closer.
Lot of people love Ol' Blue Eyes, and he definitely had the best control of all of them, but I'd take Dean or Bing over Frankie any day. Dean's is the smoothest, Bing's is the warmest.
I loved his TV Show. I was convinced he was stoned on every show . Saw him in Vegas and had the time of my life. His generation gave us some of the best comedy and entertainment ever. Dean Martin also dabbled in country music and even wore a cowboy hat. Lol
He was not a drinker. It was all a joke and a performance. After his son died he went into a depression and quit performing. I loved his weekly television show. He was funny as heck.
Dean Martin (born Dino Paul Crocetti; June 7, 1917 - December 25, 1995) was an American singer, actor and comedian. One of the most popular entertainers of the mid-20th century, he was nicknamed "The King of Cool". Martin gained his career breakthrough together with comedian Jerry Lewis, billed as Martin and Lewis, in 1946. They performed in nightclubs and later had numerous appearances on radio and television and in films. Following an acrimonious ending of the partnership in 1956, Martin pursued a solo career as a performer and actor. He established himself as a singer, recording numerous contemporary songs as well as standards from the Great American Songbook. Martin became one of the most popular acts in Las Vegas and was known for his friendship with fellow artists Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr., After actor Humphrey Bogie' Bogart death Frank Sintra took over leadership of the Rat Pack which Dean Martin was a member. The Rat Pack made several movies. One of my favorites is the original Ocean's 11 in which Dean Martin sung Ain't that a Kick in the Head'. Starting in 1965, Martin was the host of the television variety program The Dean Martin Show, which centered on Martin's singing and comedic talents and was characterized by his relaxed, easy-going demeanor. From 1974 to 1984, Martin was roastmaster on The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, a popular show that drew celebrities, comedians and politicians. Throughout his career, Martin performed on concert stages, in nightclubs and audio recordings and appeared in 85 film and television productions and sold 12 million records in the United States alone, over 50 million worldwide. Martin's best-known songs include "Ain't That a Kick in the Head?", "Memories Are Made of This", "That's Amore", "Everybody Loves Somebody", "You're Nobody till Somebody Loves You", "Sway", and "Volare".

Dean Martin had been a boxer back in the day. Yup, it's a long way from Steubenville to Vegas..... His daughter Deana tours with a salute to her father's music.
Dean was also in Martin & Lewis, a comedy team with the amazing Jerry Lewis. Dean was also in one of the greatest Westerns ever made, Rio Bravo, with John Wayne and heartthrob Ricky Nelson. That's a must see American classic.
Unbelievably this song would come on in bars full of workman or a nice Italian restaurant ,I dont care where people would break out in song knowing all the words! The connected people love Deano and i happen to love his voice better than Sinatra..just me. He had his funny TV show for awhile and the BEST for sure we're his Roasts at the MGM.
We all know American food is fiddled with in ways they don't in Europe ,I lived there for 5 yes and traveled extensively i noticed the difference for sure ! I love pasta fazul( spelling) and let's not forget spaghetti was developed by the Chinese yrs and yrs ago!
@@Cchan53 Pasta was nicked by the Romans from the Greeks. Even today (and I'm in Greece every year for my main holiday) there are excellent pasta dishes, such as Pastitsio or Manestra.
Years ago, Dean Martin had his own variety show on TV. It was a weekly show where he would sing any head guests, and they would sing, and there were little skits. Loved Dean Martin. This is another crooner.
Dean Martin was the King of Cool. His voice melted the hearts of women around the world. My mom, whose father was Italian, was crazy about Dino. She and my dad were introduced to each other on a blind date. She said that he looked sooooo much like Dean that she fell instantly in love. If you want to react to more of his songs, I recommend Volare, On An Evening In Roma, Mambo Italiano, and just about the sexyest song I've ever heard, Sway.
Well, this certainly is nostalgic for me. My dad (who is missed so much) was one of ten kids in a big Italian family. I grew up with the music of Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Perry Como. Food was always a big part of our lives and somehow all my aunts, uncles and cousins fit into my grandmother's small home every Sunday for dinner and to celebrate life. I wish I could go back, even for just one day! ❤
Dean was the host of the roasts you have watched. He also had his own variety show. In the 60s, James Bond sparked a lot of 'secret agent/spy' themed shows and movies. James Coburn played Derek Flint. Dean had a few movies as Matt Helm. Not for the channel, just for yourself, you should check out one if/when you get some down time. Silly, campy, and quite entertaining.
Dean Martin was a popular singer and actor but originally became famous as part of a comedy duo with Jerry Lewis, Martin and Lewis. Dean Martin was the straight man. My favorite movie with Dean Martin was Rio Bravo with John Wayne. He also had a popular variety show on TV. He was considered to be part of the Rat Pack with Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr.
Great singer and good actor. I loved him in Five Card Stud and Son's of Katie Elder with John Wayne. Both westerns. His variety show was must see TV in our home. At one point he would open a door never knowing who was on the other side. He would jump up on a piano but one week it was a fake piano and crashed under his weight. It was hilarious.
Dean Martin ( Dino Paul Crocetti) is my favorite of all the crooners. Dean has a carefree relaxed casual style of singing. He was part of the infamous Las Vegas "Rat Pack" ( Sinatra, Dean, Sammy Davis Jr [all were singers and acted too] Peter Lawford [actor and married to a Kennedy] and Joey Bishop [ comedian] ). Dean grew up in Steubenville, Ohio in an Italian household and didn't learn to speak English until he was 5 and went to school; was bullied for his broken English. He only went through 10th grade. He had various jobs, working in a steel mill, was a boxer for awhile ( known as Kid Crochet) and worked as a card dealer and crupier at a gambling establishment. before he went to NYC. There he stated singing , using the name of Dino Martini. ( he took his style from Bing Crosby, Perry Como and The Mills Brothers). Eventually he was paired with an up and coming comedian, Jerry Lewis, changed his name to Dean Martin ( sounding less Italian) Together they made a slew of movies with Dean as the suave singer and Jerry as the nerdy funny guy. Eventually they split and Dean went on to make many other movies ( some westerns as well as others). This song, "That's Amore" is in a movie with Jerry Lewis ( video.) Dean did a couple of western movies with John Wayne: Rio Bravo ( Dean sings in this one.." My Rifle, My Pony and Me" .......there is a video). Also, The Sons of Katie Elder. Both were big movies in their time. Dean was also in several "Rat Pack" movies, one being Robin and the 7 Hoods. Dean had 2 tv shows. The Dean Martin Show ( A variety show.....he never rehearsed, just showed up for the tapings) and The Dean Martin Comedy Roast ( A once monthly Comedy Roast of a different chosen celebrity each time). Dean didn't want to do another tv show when this offer was put to him. So, he wound up only doing it once a month and he never rehearsed. ( because he was a family man ( 8 children, 4 from each marriage)and he really wanted to retire and just play golf). He didn't rehearse on his long running weekly show either. All of the guest stars did but Dean would just come in cold and wing it. That's part of what made his show so funny. ( He learned his comedic timing by working with Jerry Lewis in his early years). Check out this video of Dean in concert in London singing his signature song, "Everybody Loves Somebody". This song hit the charts as the #1 song in the U.S. beating out The Beatles. Dean was married twice. His second wife, Jeanie, was always there for him until the end, even after she divorced him. Dean had 8 children altogether. When his son Dean Jr. died in a plane crash while in the Air Force , A part of Dean died too. He never recovered from the loss of his son and it was the beginning of the end for Dean. He just gave up on his career. When he was diagnosed with cancer he refused to go for treatments. A sad ending for such a talented and much loved celebrity. Dean was always seen with a cigarette in hand and a drink. Playing someone who was slightly inhibriated was part of his act. It was apple juice in his glass. Elvis gave Dean the nickname of " The King of Cool" More Dean for you to check out: "Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime" ( video from London). "Ain't That a Kick in the Head" ( video). "Volare" ( album......Dean had many albums sung in Italian). "Sway". " For The Good Times" ( video from his tv show).
Dean Martin, called the King of Cool by Elvis, was a legend. A couple of years ago the PC were trying to cancel "Baby It's Cold Outside" - much like they did with Try That in a Small Town by a country artist. Dean's song is sweet and flirtatious and is played at Christmas time. You should listen to Baby It's Cold Outside, one of my favorites from Dean.
Love Dean Martin! Please check out Sammy Davis Jr. He was the one black member of the rat pack and multi-talented. My personal favorite song of Sammy's is What Kind of Fool Am I. Mr Bojangles and I Gotta Be Me are fabulous as well. He could also dance up a storm! Such a talent.
Dean is the goat of classic 50's era, he also was a comedian with Jerry Lewis called Martin and Lewis, also with movies, you should check out the song Sway, think your wife would enjoy hearing it too, Dean was famous with his singing and swooning the ladies with his voice.
OMG, my feet are twitching! I'd totally forgotten what a beautiful waltz this song is! Thanks for the memory! (As for feeling old -- I'm 68, and Dean Martin, Sinatra & co were before *my* time even!)
I love dean martins voice he's so good, other songs called Sway and and Ain't that a kick in the head these are good to, so many good songs ❤thank you for doing this
Dean Martin also had a variety show from '65 to '74. The dance team was called "The Gold diggers". Many songs..Everybody Loves Somebody", "Volare", You're nobody til somebody loves you", Aint that a kick in the head". Lots of movies..westerns, comedies, action....
He was an amazing entertainer!! Great voice and handsome and so talented and did a few movies !! He usually had a drink in his hand and acted a little tipsy at times but it was apple juice in the glass .
The epitome and GOAT status of "Nice Guy" personified. Great father and smoothest crooner of my lifetime. And the "holes in the wall" eateries often are the pearls. So good work. 👍
Dean Martin had his own variety show on TV for years!!! AND The Dean Martin Comedy Roast was his TV program you saw with Don Rickles. Don Rickles was famous for his vicious jokes about his show business friends.
Dean was the host of the show Dean Martin Roasts ___________ (fill in the blank) and then everybody roasted the guest! There were all kinds of people that got roasted from Phyllis Diller to Mr. T, Rich Little or Don Rickles. This is one your kids will love! I remember loving it as a little girl and I'm 67 now, but when I was 5, 6 and 7 I loved it! Then my baby brother was born and I sang it to him! He'd giggle!
I loved his laid-back style. He never had to work at it, he opened his mouth, and this beautiful sound just flowed out. Acting seemed to be just as easy for him. Always my favorite of The Rat Pack.
Dean Martin had it goin’ on! He was a Crooner.Even as a little kid I knew he was cool. He was good looking, a great actor, comedian and he could sing, (I think he could dance too). Great reaction. This song seems to get everyone going and we all became Italian or something 😂🤷♀️❤️✌🏻🎶
I just love Dean Martin. We never would miss his weekly variety door (we had to know who was going to knock on that door this week!), Dean was funny, charming, and so talented! The Rat Pack had Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, the amazing Sammy Davis Jr, actor Peter Lawford, comedian Joey Bishop, and the lovely and talented Angi Dickinson and they made some fun movies together, including the original Ocean's 11
Dean Martin….he was second in command in the Rat Pack with Frank as Chairman of the Board! He had his own show and refused to do much rehearsal. He was funny and charming and he could ad lib very well on camera. His show was very popular. You can watch some on TH-cam! He and Frank did a Christmas Special with both of their families. Both Italian families, and the two best “crooners” in America! It got huge ratings. It’s on TH-cam. We watch it every now and then around Christmas.
Thank you for reacting to this. Dean Martin is one of my favorite crooners. I love the whole Rat Pack era. This song was played in the movie Moon Struck.
Enjoying great success in music, film, television, and on the stage, Dean Martin was less an entertainer than an icon, the eternal essence of cool. A member of the legendary Rat Pack, he lived and died the high life of booze, broads, and bright lights, always projecting a sense of utter detachment and serenity; along with Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., and the other chosen few who breathed the same rarefied air, Martin -- highball and cigarette always firmly in hand -- embodied the glorious excess of a world long gone, a world without rules or consequences
I remember going to weddings, in 1970’s, if they were Italian , the band always played this song, other Italian songs, always folk dancing at an Italian wedding
BP thank you so much for the memories you have brought back ❤️ My mom had the biggest fan crush on Dean Martin! He is part of the Rat Pack! Lots of music to check, actor, comedian, entertainer
Dean is by far my favorite male vocalist... smooth, debonair, but lighthearted and fun. Respect to all of the Rat Packers... but Dean is the crowned prince of the 'Pack' for me... oh, and he often entertained with a glass in his hand... when he was on stage it was alcohol free... Oh, one more fun fact... Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime knocked the Beatles out of #1.
one of the hardest working men in show biz. He was funny, great singer, had a variety show, and ran with the coolest crew in Vegas. He often pretended to be tipsy on stage, but it was an act. He was generally drinking apple juice.
He loved Horses and was quite the Expert.Was surprised at this, but very impressed. My friend and I used to sing'Little old Wine Drinking Me' after a few jars.🥴🍻🍷🤕
Such a character. I used to watch his variety show every week as a kid. He was also part of Martin and Lewis, the comedy team. Plus a member of The Rat Pack. Such a smooth voice. This song was in the movie Moonstruck.
Dean Martin (known to his friends as Dino) His Genres are.....Traditional Pop, Country, Easy Listening, Jazz, Swing & Acting on Tv he had 2 of his own variety shows first one was from 1959-1960 & the second one was from 1965-1974 he also did lots movies & 17 movies with Jerry Lewis that were comedy that he and Lewis did. He even did The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast on Tv, airing from 1974 to 1984. For a series of 54 specials and shows, Martin and his friends would "roast" a celebrity. The roasts were patterned after the roasts held at the New York Friars' Club.. In the early 1960s, Martin and Frank Sinatra, along with friends Joey Bishop, Peter Lawford, and Sammy Davis Jr., formed the Rat Pack, The Rat Pack was legendary for its Las Vegas Strip performances. His movies went from 1946 to 1984 some notable movies he starred in were....... - Sailor Beware (with Jerry Lewis) - Robin and the 7 Hoods (with Frank Sinatra as Robbo, Dean Martin as Little John, Sammy Davis Jr. as Will, Bing Crosby as Alan A. Dale (credited as Allen A. Dale) & Peter Falk as Guy Gisborne) - Oceans 11 (1960) (with Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr, Peter Lawford & Joey Bishop) - Rio Bravo ( with John Wayne and Ricky Nelson) - Airport - The Cannonball Run - Cannonball Run II Dean Martin did lots of TV specials in the 70s and 80s He even had a tv show called The Martin and Lewis Show That was just to name a few of his movies & Tv shows he did. Next try these songs of his...... He has 37 Studio albums and 108 singles - Mambo Italiano written in 1954 for the American singer Rosemary Clooney who is George Clooney's aunt. He does a good remake of. - Memories Are Made of This - Standing on the Corner - Volare - Everybody Loves Somebody - Things (with Nancy Sinatra) - Baby, It's Cold Outside (with country singer Martina McBride)
I grew up listening to my mom sing this. "When the stars make you drool just-a like pasta-fazool. . ." 😂 Italian food is made with an extra ingredient. A generous sprinkling of love! We take our food very seriously. lol The best thing about Italian cuisine is how different it is region to region. From Rome to Sicily, each gastronomic adventure is steeped in tradition and provincial pride. So, if you're ever invited to a traditional Italian family dinner, know that the more you're fed, the more you're loved! ❤
BP - You've got to watch the original 1960 version of Ocean's 11! Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr, Dean Martin and others. I personally think it's better than the Clooney - Pitt movie. You should react to a rat pack live routine. They're great! To answer your question, Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin were a comedy duo and did movies too. Their relationship ended on a bad note and they never reconciled.
Dean was a singer when he and Jerry Lewis formed a successful comedy team doing club acts and many movies together...before they had a bad break up. Bith had successful careers solo. Dean was the singer, who got into straight acting, and had a popular TV variety show in the 60's, early 70's as well...not to mention the celebrity roast shows.
Dean Martin is one of my favorites. He was a singer, comedian and actor. Please check out Dean Martin and the Mills Brothers. Always enjoy your reactions!
Among other songs they did together, the standouts are Paper Doll and Up A Lazy River. Dean loved the style of Harry Mills. He was an influence upon him.
I've always loved Dino - as did my mom. His voice is matchless. So soothing and his vocals so effortless. He always performed with a wink and a smile. I remember as a kid watching his TV show and been a fan ever since. This was the theme song for the excellent movie Moonstruck" with Cher and Nicholas Cage.

YES!! Dean Martin is a singer, an actor, a comedian, a TV star, a movie star, a radio star, & a huge nightclub star. Very few in the entertainment community have as lengthy a resume as Dean, & he excelled at all!!! Very few were as beloved worldwide as Dean, too. His signature song is the very beautiful Everybody Loves Somebody, a song that knocked The Beatles out of the #1 spot on the record charts in the summer of '64.

Thanks for the comprehensive recap of Dino's accomplishments!
Don't forget he was born in Stubenville, Ohio!!!
The only singer you can actually HEAR smiling while he's singing.
Elvis said he might be called the king... but Dean was the king of cool.❤
Dean Martin had been a boxer back in the day. Yup, it's a long way from Steubenville to Vegas.....
His daughter Deana tours with a salute to her father's music.
Dean was the ultimate crooner, as my father once said his music was so smooth that he basically just gives the audience a kiss.
"Is he an actor, a comic, a singer?" Yes
Dean was an all around entertainer. The Rat Pack were Vegas staples for years.
Dean was also in Martin & Lewis, a comedy team with the amazing Jerry Lewis. Dean was also in one of the greatest Westerns ever made, Rio Bravo, with John Wayne and heartthrob Ricky Nelson. That's a must see American classic.
He was a family man. He was an entertainer, but he loved spending time with his family.
Love Dean Martin....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤in any capacity. Acting singing etc.

I remember watching his night shows as a child and Mum allowed me to watch them with her 🥰. I've even rewatched all the shows on youtube😃👌 recently

Dean does it all! 💜him!
Dean is a OG!
You got the dreaded "Translate to English" below your note. Obviously, TH-cam needs to learn some slang. It doesn't understand what "OG" means !🤣
Dean was the host of the roasts you have watched. He also had his own variety show. In the 60s, James Bond sparked a lot of 'secret agent/spy' themed shows and movies. James Coburn played Derek Flint. Dean had a few movies as Matt Helm. Not for the channel, just for yourself, you should check out one if/when you get some down time. Silly, campy, and quite entertaining.
Dean Martin was a popular singer and actor but originally became famous as part of a comedy duo with Jerry Lewis, Martin and Lewis. Dean Martin was the straight man. My favorite movie with Dean Martin was Rio Bravo with John Wayne. He also had a popular variety show on TV. He was considered to be part of the Rat Pack with Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr.
Dean Martin, Baby It's Cold Outside
Absolutely!!!
Marshmallow World
Lived in Italy for 5 years. Dino is the master. Listen to Sway. So crazy good.
SWAY is my favorite Deano song!!!
Great singer and good actor. I loved him in Five Card Stud and Son's of Katie Elder with John Wayne. Both westerns. His variety show was must see TV in our home. At one point he would open a door never knowing who was on the other side. He would jump up on a piano but one week it was a fake piano and crashed under his weight. It was hilarious.
I also loved Dean and another movie with John Wayne, Rio Bravo, in which Dean sang. The duet with Ricky Nelson was special, My Rifle, My Pony and Me
@@allenwhitmer8192 Love me some Ricky Nelson
Dean Martin is from Steubenville, Ohio. I enjoyed his movies and comedy, he has tons of things to check out! Love Uncle Dean
Dean, Frank, Sammy Davis Jr, Peter Lawford, Joey Bishop were big buddies and were called The Rat Pack. Big stars of the era.
Love your your joy and reaction. Couldn't keep the smile off your face or stop the swaying.
As everyone is saying, Dean Martin did it all, and seemingly effortlessly.
"Memories are made of this " is a great choice to react to.
Dean Martin ( Dino Paul Crocetti) is my favorite of all the crooners. Dean has a carefree relaxed casual style of singing. He was part of the infamous Las Vegas "Rat Pack" ( Sinatra, Dean, Sammy Davis Jr [all were singers and acted too] Peter Lawford [actor and married to a Kennedy] and Joey Bishop [ comedian] ).
Dean grew up in Steubenville, Ohio in an Italian household and didn't learn to speak English until he was 5 and went to school; was bullied for his broken English. He only went through 10th grade. He had various jobs, working in a steel mill, was a boxer for awhile ( known as Kid Crochet) and worked as a card dealer and crupier at a gambling establishment. before he went to NYC. There he stated singing , using the name of Dino Martini. ( he took his style from Bing Crosby, Perry Como and The Mills Brothers). Eventually he was paired with an up and coming comedian, Jerry Lewis, changed his name to Dean Martin ( sounding less Italian) Together they made a slew of movies with Dean as the suave singer and Jerry as the nerdy funny guy. Eventually they split and Dean went on to make many other movies ( some westerns as well as others). This song, "That's Amore" is in a movie with Jerry Lewis ( video.)
Dean did a couple of western movies with John Wayne: Rio Bravo ( Dean sings in this one.." My Rifle, My Pony and Me" .......there is a video). Also, The Sons of Katie Elder. Both were big movies in their time. Dean was also in several "Rat Pack" movies, one being Robin and the 7 Hoods.
Dean had 2 tv shows. The Dean Martin Show ( A variety show.....he never rehearsed, just showed up for the tapings) and The Dean Martin Comedy Roast ( A once monthly Comedy Roast of a different chosen celebrity each time). Dean didn't want to do another tv show when this offer was put to him. So, he wound up only doing it once a month and he never rehearsed. ( because he was a family man ( 8 children, 4 from each marriage)and he really wanted to retire and just play golf). He didn't rehearse on his long running weekly show either. All of the guest stars did but Dean would just come in cold and wing it. That's part of what made his show so funny. ( He learned his comedic timing by working with Jerry Lewis in his early years). Check out this video of Dean in concert in London singing his signature song, "Everybody Loves Somebody". This song hit the charts as the #1 song in the U.S. beating out The Beatles.
Dean was married twice. His second wife, Jeanie, was always there for him until the end, even after she divorced him. Dean had 8 children altogether. When his son Dean Jr. died in a plane crash while in the Air Force , A part of Dean died too. He never recovered from the loss of his son and it was the beginning of the end for Dean. He just gave up on his career. When he was diagnosed with cancer he refused to go for treatments. A sad ending for such a talented and much loved celebrity.
Dean was always seen with a cigarette in hand and a drink. Playing someone who was slightly inhibriated was part of his act. It was apple juice in his glass. Elvis gave Dean the nickname of " The King of Cool"
More Dean for you to check out: "Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime" ( video from London). "Ain't That a Kick in the Head" ( video). "Volare" ( album......Dean had many albums sung in Italian). "Sway". " For The Good Times" ( video from his tv show).
Oh, Deano could make you swoon!
Such a voice.
Dean Martin, called the King of Cool by Elvis, was a legend. A couple of years ago the PC were trying to cancel "Baby It's Cold Outside" - much like they did with Try That in a Small Town by a country artist. Dean's song is sweet and flirtatious and is played at Christmas time. You should listen to Baby It's Cold Outside, one of my favorites from Dean.
This is a beautiful song and he has beautiful voice ❤❤❤❤
I absolutely love listening to Dean Martin. I have him and several crooners on my Spotify playlists.
Love Dean Martin! Please check out Sammy Davis Jr. He was the one black member of the rat pack and multi-talented. My personal favorite song of Sammy's is What Kind of Fool Am I. Mr Bojangles and I Gotta Be Me are fabulous as well. He could also dance up a storm! Such a talent.
Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime is a must for Dean Martin. And yes, amore is Italian for love.
Dean Martin is one of my favorite voices ever.
Dean is the goat of classic 50's era, he also was a comedian with Jerry Lewis called Martin and Lewis, also with movies, you should check out the song Sway, think your wife would enjoy hearing it too, Dean was famous with his singing and swooning the ladies with his voice.
Aaawww, this makes me want to watch Moonstruck again ❤
snap out of it 😉
@bonnielee78 😊👍
OMG, my feet are twitching! I'd totally forgotten what a beautiful waltz this song is! Thanks for the memory! (As for feeling old -- I'm 68, and Dean Martin, Sinatra & co were before *my* time even!)
Dean Martin was born in my hometown of steubenville OH. I still go to the same Italian restaurant he visited
I love dean martins voice he's so good, other songs called Sway and and Ain't that a kick in the head these are good to, so many good songs ❤thank you for doing this
Now you've hit the jackpot!! Love me some Dino! There's no one like him. He does it all. And so adorable doing it all. 🥰
Dean Martin also had a variety show from '65 to '74. The dance team was called "The Gold diggers". Many songs..Everybody Loves Somebody", "Volare", You're nobody til somebody loves you", Aint that a kick in the head". Lots of movies..westerns, comedies, action....
Wow!! You are definitely a world traveler, BP!! 🌍✈🌎✈🌏Music is never too old. It's like nature, it's always been around, and in every generation. 😊🎶🎶
Just so beautiful. ❤
I agree I've been to Italy twice, the food is SO good. Their lifestyle is so much more laid back and healthy, not to mention the BEAUTY
Smooth. ❤❤❤❤❤
He was an amazing entertainer!! Great voice and handsome and so talented and did a few movies !!
He usually had a drink in his hand and acted a little tipsy at times but it was apple juice in the glass .
The epitome and GOAT status of "Nice Guy" personified. Great father and smoothest crooner of my lifetime.
And the "holes in the wall" eateries often are the pearls. So good work. 👍
Yes he All the above!❤❤❤
Dean Martin had his own variety show on TV for years!!! AND The Dean Martin Comedy Roast was his TV program you saw with Don Rickles. Don Rickles was famous for his vicious jokes about his show business friends.
The Dean Martin and Foster Brooks Airline Pilot skit is one you REALLY need to react to!
Dean was the host of the show Dean Martin Roasts ___________ (fill in the blank) and then everybody roasted the guest! There were all kinds of people that got roasted from Phyllis Diller to Mr. T, Rich Little or Don Rickles.
This is one your kids will love! I remember loving it as a little girl and I'm 67 now, but when I was 5, 6 and 7 I loved it! Then my baby brother was born and I sang it to him! He'd giggle!
You can't help but to feel good and smile to this song.
Classic. Never goes out of style.
I loved his laid-back style. He never had to work at it, he opened his mouth, and this beautiful sound just flowed out. Acting seemed to be just as easy for him. Always my favorite of The Rat Pack.
You are my favorite music reactor - I think that’s because you appear to feel the music.
Dean Martin had it goin’ on! He was a Crooner.Even as a little kid I knew he was cool. He was good looking, a great actor, comedian and he could sing, (I think he could dance too). Great reaction. This song seems to get everyone going and we all became Italian or something 😂🤷♀️❤️✌🏻🎶
Dean Martin was a multi-talented ENTERTAINER.
I just love Dean Martin. We never would miss his weekly variety door (we had to know who was going to knock on that door this week!), Dean was funny, charming, and so talented! The Rat Pack had Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, the amazing Sammy Davis Jr, actor Peter Lawford, comedian Joey Bishop, and the lovely and talented Angi Dickinson and they made some fun movies together, including the original Ocean's 11
His Greatest Hits album is amazing-my parent's favorite, the family would sing along. Loud.
Dean could do anything, so personable and charming.
Dean Martin….he was second in command in the Rat Pack with Frank as Chairman of the Board! He had his own show and refused to do much rehearsal. He was funny and charming and he could ad lib very well on camera. His show was very popular. You can watch some on TH-cam! He and Frank did a Christmas Special with both of their families. Both Italian families, and the two best “crooners” in America! It got huge ratings. It’s on TH-cam. We watch it every now and then around Christmas.
"Everybody Loves Somebody" is another great song by Dino. Also try Doris Day's signature song "Que Sera, Sera".
Thank you for reacting to this. Dean Martin is one of my favorite crooners. I love the whole Rat Pack era. This song was played in the movie Moon Struck.
Enjoying great success in music, film, television, and on the stage, Dean Martin was less an entertainer than an icon, the eternal essence of cool. A member of the legendary Rat Pack, he lived and died the high life of booze, broads, and bright lights, always projecting a sense of utter detachment and serenity; along with Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., and the other chosen few who breathed the same rarefied air, Martin -- highball and cigarette always firmly in hand -- embodied the glorious excess of a world long gone, a world without rules or consequences
I remember going to weddings, in 1970’s, if they were Italian , the band always played this song, other Italian songs, always folk dancing at an Italian wedding
BP thank you so much for the memories you have brought back ❤️ My mom had the biggest fan crush on Dean Martin!
He is part of the Rat Pack! Lots of music to check, actor, comedian, entertainer
I remember seeing him perform at Harrah’s in Tahoe when I was little. Even to a little girl, he was captivating ❤. amore is LOVE in Italian
Dean is by far my favorite male vocalist... smooth, debonair, but lighthearted and fun. Respect to all of the Rat Packers... but Dean is the crowned prince of the 'Pack' for me... oh, and he often entertained with a glass in his hand... when he was on stage it was alcohol free... Oh, one more fun fact... Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime knocked the Beatles out of #1.
Dean singing Let It Snow is one of my favorites!
one of the hardest working men in show biz. He was funny, great singer, had a variety show, and ran with the coolest crew in Vegas. He often pretended to be tipsy on stage, but it was an act. He was generally drinking apple juice.
I also like his song "Memories Are Made of This" which earned him a Gold Record when it came out.
He loved Horses and was quite the Expert.Was surprised at this, but very impressed.
My friend and I used to sing'Little old Wine Drinking Me' after a few jars.🥴🍻🍷🤕
I had no idea he was an expert horseman. That explains why he was so convincing in those Westerns!
Such a character. I used to watch his variety show every week as a kid. He was also part of Martin and Lewis, the comedy team. Plus a member of The Rat Pack. Such a smooth voice.
This song was in the movie Moonstruck.

I grew up listening to my mom sing this. "When the stars make you drool just-a like pasta-fazool. . ." 😂 Italian food is made with an extra ingredient. A generous sprinkling of love! We take our food very seriously. lol The best thing about Italian cuisine is how different it is region to region. From Rome to Sicily, each gastronomic adventure is steeped in tradition and provincial pride. So, if you're ever invited to a traditional Italian family dinner, know that the more you're fed, the more you're loved! ❤
Look for his LIVE performances . . . . . the guy is SMOOVE !
BP - You've got to watch the original 1960 version of Ocean's 11! Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr, Dean Martin and others. I personally think it's better than the Clooney - Pitt movie.
You should react to a rat pack live routine. They're great!
To answer your question, Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin were a comedy duo and did movies too. Their relationship ended on a bad note and they never reconciled.
Smoothest voice you may ever hear.
I loved Dean Martin he was so much fun and loved his songs. Dean and Jerry Lewis were partners in movies for a long time , so he did it all
Dean was a singer when he and Jerry Lewis formed a successful comedy team doing club acts and many movies together...before they had a bad break up. Bith had successful careers solo. Dean was the singer, who got into straight acting, and had a popular TV variety show in the 60's, early 70's as well...not to mention the celebrity roast shows.
YOU GO DEAN LOVE FROM MY MOMMA FROM CLEAVELAND OHIO❤❤❤
In one 2 year period, Dean Martin had a #1 hit record, a #1 album, a top 10 rated TV show, and a box office smash movie.
This was part of my childhood. Brings back so many memories.
Always knew who that was his voice was magic! Martin and Sinatra were crooners!❤
Dean Martin is one of my favorites. He was a singer, comedian and actor. Please check out Dean Martin and the Mills Brothers. Always enjoy your reactions!
Among other songs they did together, the standouts are Paper Doll and Up A Lazy River.
Dean loved the style of Harry Mills. He was an influence upon him.
❤Gorgeous man....Gorgeous voice. We grew up on his music and old movies.
Dean was born in Steubenville, Ohio, just west of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Great entertainer ❤️
If you're down by the sea And an eel bites your knee That's a moray ❤
Yes, Everybody Loves Somebody Sometimes and Sway.
I remember my parents watching Dean Martin show, us kids were to young, but used to listen upstairs! Everybody loves Dean Martin
I've always loved Dino - as did my mom. His voice is matchless. So soothing and his vocals so effortless. He always performed with a wink and a smile. I remember as a kid watching his TV show and been a fan ever since. This was the theme song for the excellent movie Moonstruck" with Cher and Nicholas Cage.
Deano! 😊 My mom played his albums all the time and I loved his tv show.
