dean martin coolest cat that ever lived

[@dianalee3059]

I was blessed with a studio singing career for 55 years. During that time I worked for 6 years on the Dean Martin tv show. The greatest man to work for EVER. The whole drinking thing was his schtick, it was apple juice. RIP Bods, I truly miss you

[@uhlexseeuh]

That's so cool!

[@georgiaconti1667]

I loved Dean Martin. Awww. I still love Dean Martin. I could listen to him sing the phone book!! I especially loved it when he would croon in Italian. Nobody like him. Never will be again.

[@charlesmessina5253]

Dean pulled off being a drunk so well and fooled millions of viewers. He never over did it like comedians/actors do today, that's why he was so believable. Let's face it. He was born with coolness

[@istvansolymar5297]

Please tell these leftist,humorless comics to watch over,and over and over, dinos generations!!! And learn if you can!!!

Well said and well put !

[@lindashelley3635]

Nan Dowden I think that was probably a large part of his popularity (apart from his amazing talent of course). There was never any big star ‘don’t you know who I am’ air about Dean. He always came across as just a regular guy, the sort of bloke you could have a pint with down the pub, and he and Jeannie seemed like the sort of friendly family you’d like to have as neighbours.

U and me both man. Being Italian hes is always playing. Just such a brilliant man and perfect voice 👌

[@StephenMichael777]

Never forget the eyes of a cute young cashier when Dean's voice came over the airwaves one Christmas season as she was ringing up my purchase. Her pupils flared as she looked up at the screen to see who was singing. Quite a response!

[@tiffsaver]

I met him once at the club he used to drink at on the Sunset Strip (no, it wasn't "Dino's Lodge"). He was the sweetest, most unassuming big star I've ever met. A real "class act."

[@brianmcnellis5512]

[@jodeeb.6496]

[@mikes3827]

@@jodeeb.6496 Yep. by ALL accounts, Dino's death was the precipitous downfall of Dean. He not only never got over it, but it's essentially what killed him. I remember footage of Dean getting out of a limo many months after Dino's death, and he looked like death warmed over. VERY sad to watch him, as it was obvious he was a completely broken man who was waiting to die.

[@bernieponcik1351]

When I found out what happened to his son, I went through all the available research material. It was so sad, especially the pictures of Mr. Martin.

Kelly Gervais, ABSOLUTELY, l can relate with your Mom. I almost had my daughter at home. Dean's show was on & l didn't want to miss it. Did make to hospital in time. That was Oct. 16TH 1967.🤗

There has never been a bigger star. Number one movie, number on TV show, number one song, he was beyond huge. And was so humble. ❤X❤

[@neatstuff8200]

Even though it was all just an act, for him it was a lifestyle. Life was simple and people were nice to each other. He was one of the few people who apparently took his act home with him. Truly a exceptional human being

Gosh ive seen other vicious comments and im afraid it makes me so so sad but they should be ashamed Dean was the very very best and it was heartbreaking to me when he lost his son and all you can do is try to trash him for it you you should be ashamed to not be aware of the torturous pain he was suffering YES HANG YOUR HEADS IN SHAME

I'll bet Dean was the life of every party he ever attended... Glad I grew up watching him on TV...

[@lindashelley3635]

JaleelJohanson62 Although he was well-loved by just about everyone who knew him, Dean apparently wasn’t much of a party animal, unlike Frank. He was by nature a more quiet and private man, who preferred to retire early so he could be up early the next morning to play golf. But you’re right, his wonderful sense of humour made him very popular company whenever Jeannie could drag him out to a social function.

[@paulletchworth8127]

It doesn’t get any better than Frank and Dean they were the top of the mountain no one higher they lived a life that people can only dream of , so glad I got to grow up listening to their music and my Mother and I would watch the dean Martin show and laugh such a awesome time In America , I miss it all , thanks for the memories !!!!

If there is anything to be said about Dino, it is that he was FUN! He did not see himself as "cool" -- he was just being himself! He went through some bad times with the loss of his son in 1987, but he tended to roll with the punches and ended up on his feet. Good guy.

History proved that Dean Martin had more talent than Jerry Lewis especially when it came to comedy, dramatic roles and success on television. When the team split in 1956 the so-called critics had predicted Martin's show business career would be over with in a year. Boy were they wrong.

I went to some of those after-show parties back stage, and Dino always had a cigarette going, but he was one of the first to say goodnight and leave, while the rest of us were up until all hours.

When I was a child, the only thing I knew about Dean was that he sang "That's Amoré" and "Everybody Needs Somebody Sometime." Maybe saw a couple of his variety show episodes, especially the Christmas ones. But I never really appreciated him or his talent. Now, at 56 years old, I think he was DEFINITELY one of the coolest cats ever! I binge watch (and listen to) everything of his I can find. I am totally hooked on his Celebrity Roasts and the western movies he starred in! To me, he and Sammy Davis Jr. were the most talented gentlemen of that era and I can't get enough of either of them 💕!

Why’d they get so offended^ hahahh

[@gerryking7284]

If I have interpreted your comment correctly Mark L then I agree with you. McQueen was cool in his movies but he had nervous habits of rapid speech and fidgety moves, not because he was nervous but because he was full of energy and always on the go. To me he seemed like he wanted to fit in as much as he could in life and raced out to embrace it which is why he seemed fidgety.

[@crlguitar1]

Dean was one of the BEST! Surely do miss him. Foster Brooks on Dean's Celebrity Roasts cracked him up and he just enjoyed the bit as much as the audience.....Maybe even more than the audience.
