    DINO! He was born as Dino Paul Crocetti in my hometown of Steubenville, Ohio. Used to run numbers as a kid before becoming a boxer and a crooner ❤️
    We still have an annual Dean Martin festival every June. He died on Christmas Day 1995 and they dimmed the Vegas lights in his honor.

    I’m 68 years old, and Dean Martin was from my parent’s generation, but I loved him. When my oldest son was a tiny baby, I would sing That’s Amore to him, and he’d instantly stop crying. lol

    His 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". They are all wonderful. I come from an Italian family most of us sing. My mom sang opera. I really miss it.

      Great picks! I would only add "Return To Me", love that song too! J&A, after you hear these, you'll get why he's categorized as a crooner. BTW, he sang "That's Amore" with the Italian accent, but he's fully American with Italian ancestors.

      Are you still looking for contemporary artists with the crooner vibe? Michael Buble is the obvious choice but also Harry Connick Jr. Any vocal from the "When Harry Met Sally" soundtrack would be great (Harry was pretty much a piano prodigy, so lots of great piano for J). I also think Leslie Odom Jr's self titled album is old school crooner/ jazz.

      I can name 3 singers who are levels above Sinatra from that era. Dean Martin, Johnny Hartman and Arthur Prysock . All 3 were as smooth as that come with The kind of baritone voices that defied description. I like Sinatra but in all honesty he's a bit overrated. He was good but there's levels to this and Johnny Hartman was 5 times better as was Prysock and both could Interpret a song equally as well as Sinatra and in my view which is shared by many, BETTER. Especially Hartman. Unfortunately Sinatra benefited from The help of the mafia and the fact that This was still the Apartheid era in America where the black community in so many levels, was not going to get the same as advantages and advancement and push that their white counter parts enjoyed, and that definitely applied here as well. And Dean Martin was effortless in his delivery and that husky, baritone smokey lush voice could sing a telephone ☎️ book and make it sound like Romance.

    Dean's acting was as good as his singing. As others have said his movies with Jerry Lewis were classics. He also starred in a western with John Wayne, Walter Brennan and Ricky Nelson (another singer). Dean, of course, played the drunk sheriff. The movie was Rio Bravo released in 1959. Cheers, Steve

    Dean Martin had his own TV show in the late 60s. He had super charisma and was funny as heck. He would not go to rehearsals so that he could just react to his guests and be fresh in the silly skits. He would always sing and he always had a secret guest behind a door. It was a great show.

      Actually, he didn’t drink much at all. That was his act. It was smoking that got him. He had very bad emphysema and lived isolated from family. His general health declined and he succumbed to respiratory failure. It was a sad ending because I heard he was alone but that could have been Hollywood gossip of the times. Dean was my favorite of the Italian crooners, even Frank and Tony. But as you said drunk isn’t funny. It was just a different time. People then knew Dean was not a drinker. Frank was!

    When I was 15 I worked in a very posh Italian restaurant in California. Under the same roof as this 5-star restaurant, there was also a huge banquet hall that seated 350 people. This banquet room was the place where a lot of very wealthy people had their wedding receptions. After the guests had finished dining on steak and lobster along with ravioli and other pasta dishes, one of my jobs as a dishwasher and busboy was to clear the tables which all slid under the large stage at the back end of the banquet hall so that people could dance. One wedding reception I worked I could tell was for a very wealthy and important Italian business man. You could always tell by the decorations and the meal when it was a particularly wealthy individual having their reception. I cleared the tables and went back into the kitchen to wash the dishes. You could hear the music playing very clearly in the kitchen. Most of the time it was records or some local band would be playing for the guests to dance to. I heard the owner of the Restaurant say over the sound system, "we have a couple of very special performers for this evening". Then I heard the song That's Amore begin to play and Dean Martin singing the song with someone else. I thought it must be some impersonators because there was no way Dean Martin was singing at such a small event as a local wedding. I pushed the swinging door open and peaked out at the stage and sure as heck there was not only Dean Martin but also Frank Sinatra singing on the stage. It was indeed a very wealthy person's wedding reception because to have Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra singing at your wedding you had to be wealthy. One of my bosses walked up behind me and said I know you are enjoying the show but you need to get back to work. That was the most fun I had washing dishes in my life washing them while listening to the real and live Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra sing.

I would love to see a movie of his life, who would you cast as Dean? I'm still thinking on this one. Dean's "Return to Me" is beautiful. Then there is the romantic comedy "Return to Me" 2000, starring David Duchovny and Minnie Driver. Minnie's Dad owns an Italian Restaurant and he and his friends are always arguing who is the better singer, Frank or Dean. 😂 It is a fun movie with 1960's romantic comedy vibes. ❤️ If you watch you must be sitting down and watching from the very beginning. It is beautiful how it opens with Dean singing Return to Me.

    Dean’s magic was that he sounded like what every man thought he sounded like when singing in the shower. Apparently he didn’t think his voice was ‘all that’ so he developed a persona of a bumbling drunk on stage & TV, sticking to romantic, fun, sentimental and up tempo songs, but in doing so he imparted great joy to the world and was very natural & generous with his live performances.

We had music like this at my sister's reception in 1993, and it was wonderful. It didn't hurt that Dean was sooo handsome, and felt more approachable than Sinatra. As others have mentioned, he was a decent actor as well, and I especially liked Rio Bravo. You might want to try some Bobby Darin one of these days - singer, songwriter, and actor.

    Good song by a Rat Pack member. Another suggestion, if you want violins and sax in one song along with beautiful vocals, you need to listen to INXS- Never Tear us Apart. The song is one of their best and been recommended a bunch of times so far.

      INXS is one of those bands that couldn't miss. When Micheal Hutchence died, sadly that was the end. That one album replacement guy was horrible. I don't even remember his name...

    So many great Dean songs like”Memories Are Made Of This,” “You Belong To Me” and “You’re Nobody Till Somebody Loves You”!!! I believe this one you listened to was used in the movie “Moonstruck,” you’ll have to watch that when you do your movie reactions.

    When I was a little girl around 9 years old I remember my mom having a Dean Martin album she played on her record player. My mom would be singing along with Dean Martin and dancing with my sister and I around the living room. I always loved the song... everybody loves somebody sometime.. by Dean Martin that was my favorite

    Dean, while always playing somewhat drunk, was actually a teetotaler. He held a glass with a beverage, but it wasn't booze. And he was considered to be a wild party person when in actuality he was a family man. I think he had 7 children. Just goes to show what a great actor he was when performing.
