While my friends were going nuts over the Beatles I was secretly swooning to Dean Martin on old 78's and vinyl. He had a beautiful voice.

[@flarica64]

Who wouldn't...he was so fine...plus he could sing.

[@denicesanders4586]

I have always loved Dean Martin. What a voice!

[@collette9008]

Boomer here. When I was young I never missed Dean Martin, Perry Como, any of the other variety shows. Those were the best days of TV 📺 😍. Martin and Como were both Italian. If memory serves me, his real name was Dino Martino. All his songs were great.

[@anthonymussari8783]

Dino Paul Crocetti

[@collette9008]

@@anthonymussari8783 thanks. I was going by what a friend told me decades ago. My bad.

[@diane-]

Old Dino was a great singer, comedian and actor. He did some wonderful songs. Thanks for sharing.💞

[@KathleenMcCormickLCSWMPH]

Dean was such a character. He really infused his sponging with incredible spirit.

[@karenj3611]

Dean put the ooooo on smooth!

[@kyle-409]

I watched Dean Martin in movies and shows with my grandfather. My favorite memories. Miss my favorite person in the world

[@toodlescae]

Same with me and grandma. I lost her when I was 12 and still miss her almost 50 years later.

[@marybaillie8907]

This written in 1953 in Mexico as you can hear by the opening instruments. Dean, The King of Cool, recorded it in 1954, a song about a dancer totally infatuated with his partner. The beautiful guitars are 💎💎, the horns and Dean's vocals are so attractive. This has been covered by Bobby Rydell, Ben E King, Cliff Richards and Michael Buble. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Cynthia. Great memory. 👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦.

[@Cynthia...]

Glad you liked it Mary.

[@marybaillie8907]

@@Cynthia... 👍✌️👏🤗❤️

[@Caine99223]

The king of cool is a title for him that I can agree with, but I believe it's shared with Miles Davis. Nevertheless, it was definitely a wonderful time period for music.

[@elainemarsh5170]

It is impossible to not like this song! ❤ But my favorite from him is still “Easy to Remember.”

[@sarahfullerton6894]

He also had a major hit with "That's Amore". It is on the sound track of the 1980's movie "Moonstruck", someone may have heard it.

[@denicesanders4586]

When the moon hits my eye like a big pizza pie!

[@taniaPBear]

As much as I love me some Frank, Dino was my favourite crooner, that voice made in heaven, singing those great old tunes that really do make you wanna sway. I was an 80's gal, so I didn't learn to really appreciate this music until I was a bit older. 'Return To Me' is my favourite Dino song, magic. Nice one Harri. ❤

[@dagmar.6954]

Dean Martin was such a smooth crooner with a nice relaxing voice. He was nicknamed "The King of Cool". This is before auto tuning. Artists had to be really able to sing. And the lyrics were clean, romantic & really meant something. He has a huge library of great songs such as "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You", "Ain't That A Kick In The Head?", "Memories Are Made Of This", "Volare" etc. Dean Martin was also part of the famous Rat Pack in the 60's along with Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. & others.

[@jolenewitzel7919]

I think my preacher grandma would have loved to sway with Dean. Us kids liked him too but we went nuts for his son Dean Jr. Both are hunks.

[@flarica64]

Dean Jr...what? Ok, I need to go *Goggle*

[@kentharris3878]

One of the most underrated voices of the era. I might, honestly rather listen to Martin than Sinatra. They were great friends and both incredible talents. Really fun digging this with you. Thanks for sharing.

[@marygriffiths2950]

My parents listened to.Dean Martin.👋👋👋

[@danielvolk237]

You did it again Cyn. I used to listen to all these old Dean Martin albums. I loved those old movies with Jerry Lewis too. I would laugh at the silly Jerry Lewis stuff and the Dean would sing and I was in heaven. Great choice from long ago. Very good reaction Harri. 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇧🤴🙃👍

[@Cynthia...]

Thank you Daniel. I love these crooners.

[@emilyflotilla931]

A great crooner! My mom had several of his albums. I used to dance to this in our living room. Does anyone want to take a spin? 💃

[@denicesanders4586]

I'd love to!

[@j.jennings1722]

Dean has a great voice and he was a singer before he ever became famous in movies with Jerry Lewis. FYI, Harri, in 1964, Dean boasted to his teenage son that his new song "Everybody Loves Somebody" would knock The Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night" out of the top Billboard spot, and it did, shooting straight to #1. I even remember when it happened, seeing as Beatlemania was in full swing at the time, and I was (and still am) a huge Beatles fan. I was a bit upset, but Dean's song was so great that I quickly forgave him and was walking around at 7 yrs old, singing the main line, "🎵Everybody... loves somebody... sometime...🎵." Dean is smooth, man, smooth.

[@pjsinomaha]

Dean Martin had a 63 year career. He appeared in at least 35 movies; most of which he sang in. His musical career was awesome, w/ #1 hits galore. He had a TV show on which he sang solo and with some of the greatest bands and individual artists of his day. There's a bunch of KZbin videos out there from The Dean Martin Show. Worth pursuing.

[@petervandervlies6427]

This is a verry cool guy, DEAN MARTIN. First time i saw him, i was about 8 years old. I wanted to be like him, COOL. So i started drinking whisky and smoking the next day. Had a little trouble with my parents...but who cares, i was cool. I'm the coolest guy in the Netherlands now, with a liver like a watermelon and black lungs, but who cares, i'm cool. Thanks Harri, great reaction 😁👊👍❤🤣

[@harryclay6256]

He's a crooner, Harri, and among the best of that sort

[@coinneachmaclellan3121]

Dino had the vocal chops to sing just about anything. Being the son of Italian immigrants Italian was his first language which explains his expressiveness in singing it and other styles of music.

[@glendajordan4069]

Love his voice, acting, charisma, and everything about him.

[@dorisgray8306]

Dean Martin was the best of his time and successful in radio, film, the stage and TV. You should do Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime which became his signature song. The really interesting thing to me is that that song bumped the Beatles from the number one spot on the charts!

[@teri7398]

It's before my time but, yes it has been covered by a few. I love Dean's version best.

[@gmanette188]

Dean Martin was my first crush at the tender age of ten lol. What a voice More please

[@k.gillespie4605]

He was a great singer, one of my old favourites. The problem was he was a greater entertainer.

[@Cynthia...]

Thanks Harri I may give you another version of this next month.

[@larryrucker]

One of the best Baritones of his time, or perhaps anytime.

[@wallytverstol8627]

awesome voice, other favorites are My rifle, my pony and me. And Amore

[@patriciaewing8164]

He was born Dino Paul Crocetti June 7, 1917. We had all the greats when I was young. Sinatra, Como, Reeves Jones, Crosby, Cole. Bennett. Davis Jr Mathis, Darin to name just a few. Those were the days 👍🏻🤩🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@kathyutica]

My all time favorite Dean song.

[@garyarnett1220]

Music of my childhood. Lovin some Dino

[@heydayma10513]

What A Voice

[@itzel1735]

He doesn’t get enough credit today as a good singer. Michael Bublé has a good version too.

[@thewindle]

In the western Rio Bravo, he and Ricky Nelson do a duet My Rifle, My Pony and Me, worth checking out.

[@akahina]

Dean Martin had a wonderful TV show in America. He had a great sense of comic timing. Just for giggles, look for one of his skits with Foster Brooks, one about airline pilots.

[@user-gw6lf9qi3q]

Sway is used in an episode of Endeavour, wonderful music, wonderful programme.

[@dennisking7872]

Pablo Beltrán Ruiz was a Mexican composer and bandleader who wrote and originally recorded "Sway" as "Quíen Será." That's the origin of this classic made popular in English by Dean Martin.

[@barbaracollins385]

The King of cool! Makes you want to dance the old timey way.

[@martinedalo5595]

I love dino hes the best.🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@richardconnolly4835]

Any consideration of the Crooner ought to include Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra's favourite singer. So many hits, a great interpreter of the American song book - Shadow of Your Smile, The Good Life, Fly Me to the Moon, I Wanna Be Around, Cold, Cold Heart, I Wanna Be Around and his signature I Left my Heart in San Francisco - to name but a few.

[@johnniekight1879]

Bobby Rydell's versions rocks pretty good.

[@hillaryilinsky1009]

one cool dude.

[@carolgranados4892]

One of my favs

[@brigham2250]

I'm into heavy metal but listen to Sinatra and Dean Martin. I've been listening to this song for many years now. It is very catchy. Would love to hear a metal-version.

[@heydayma10513]

In a movie called ,Rio Bravo; Dean sings with Walter Brennan as old man Stumpy.. "Get along Home Suzie Suzie"..check it out!

[@yellow4for2]

Get on home Cindy Cindy Dean Martin, Walter Brennan, and Ricky Nelson.

[@lindawhite5006]

This version of this song is in the movie "SHALL WE DANCE" Starring Jennifer Lopez and Richard Gere. Excellent!

[@annieamsaadi143]

Un homme aux multiples talents et quels talents et cette voix unique ❤

[@ritagryphon222]

Love this!

[@777petew]

Class music. If a man had a voice like that, he couldn't fight off the women with a sh***y stick.

[@heydayma10513]

I'm Dancing With Ya Harri..thanks!

[@phillipamaro968]

His name was Dino Crocheti from Steubenville Ohio!

[@davebzen795]

Cynthia - I apologize for not getting to this Dean Martin classic from the early 50s until now. His vocal prowess was so smooth. Excellent choice, and who knew that Harri was so into Dean and greats of his time, such as Sinatra, Perry Como, and many more. Great timing for this Valentine's Day theme week.

[@Cynthia...]

Thank you Dave.

[@mikeriv60]

He's smoooooth.

[@tric5122]

Saw a reactor put him and Frank Sinatra on a pitch machine to see how close they hot the notes. Frank was a perfectionist and worked hard to get every note right, Dean on the other hand sort of danced around the notez sometime hitting, sometimes just being a bit off, but with how be slid up and down so easily it didnt matter. Apparently it drove Sinatra crazy bc je thought Dean was just messing around and still killing it. In the end, both styles worked for the singers, both were great; but i could listen tk Dean ecery day no matter my mood, and always needed Frank on certain occasions.

[@edwardtmarsh884]

Google Fred Astaire/Rita Hayworth dancing to DEAN M. singing this gem!

[@frankmachado1010]

I love Morgan Freeman and not for just his acting, when he was asked how do we fight and stop racisim he replied "if I stop calling you whitie I would hope you stop calling me black, we are all humans and it does not matter where on this globe you were born' we are all the same and the reason why I mention this is because I love all types of music and I love the early African American music, I fear we may never see music such as those days when tech was not even a word yet. peace borther and thank tou for loving all types of music. cheers!

[@gillyUK]

Thank you! I've always loved Dean Martin. Michael Buble did a cover of 'Sway' that I love, but it's not a evocative as Dean's version. I get loosey-goosey neck listening to Dean :D

[@M00159]

Harri, Harri, Harri! I am not a patron, but I am a subscriber and I would love it and be grateful if you could react to Mariah Carey and her song called, We Belong Together. Great song, great arrangement, fantastic vocal. Please trust me, Harri. I wouldn’t steer you wrong or make a bad recommendation. Thanks, Harri.

[@johnandrews3151]

The Remix of Sway by Dean Martin is even better!

[@margaretthomas8899]

Check out the Mills Brothers, and the Andrew sisters, and Bing Crosby with Al Jolson

[@graciesmom1477]

There are 2 covers of this song that are really good. One by Michael Buble and the other is by the Pussycat Dolls. Give them a try, you won't be dissapointed in either. This is a great song.

[@NathanVeenstra]

The version you at referring to could be the one by Rosemary Clooney with Perez Prado. If it’s more modern and dance like, it could be Shaft.

[@doplinger1]

I’m sure many have covered this, Michael Bublés version is very good.

[@randallcastillo2179]

He is a singer first, actor second.

[@GypsyReg]

Julie London covered this also. Kept this tempo though.

[@davidbordonaro1631]

Michael Buble , a modern day crooner who needs to be on your channel , covers this and many , many others

[@carolgranados4892]

May I suggest Pretend You Don't See Her by crooner Jerry Vale

[@ASaaaxxx]

Not the 60s this was released by Dean in 1954

[@stuartjohnson5686]

Try kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKndp5eneNWagZI the singer James Darren actually played (and this will sound wierd if you havent seen it) a holographic lounge singer Vic Fontaine in Star Tree Deep Space Nine and sang this in an episode to two other characters after the woman they were both attracted to married someone else. I think he is really a great singer but I have to thank DS9 for brining him to my attention. I have two of his CDs,

[@viacrucis2509]

Dean was my all the me favorite entertainer. Frank Sinatra and Sammy were arguably better vocalists. But nobody had Deans delivery of a song.
