Included in this medley are "You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You" & "Bye Bye Blackbird."

[@cizia69]

What's cooler than cool? Dean and the Mills

[@lakemichigan6598]

It's said Dean got (well, OK, 'stole') his on stage persona from Harry Mills - and I'm so glad he did. You can see the great affection Dean had for Harry & his brothers - and I can absolutely see why he felt that way.

[@victorbonilla4634]

Mark my words..someday...when rock, hip hop, electro music, and reggaeton run their course.. this music will return..just hope it won't take a million years.

[@josephgiustiniani2834]

Victor,...................... one can only hope you are correct. So much of music today is far away from...... entertainment.

A brief glimpse back to a time when variety shows lived up to their name. Thanks for sharing this with us! 🙂

[@willoneil1456]

Dean was like a little kid in a candy store he loved the Mill's Brother's and they loved him back RIP Guy's

I bet part of his drinking may have been tied to missing them so much and witnessing their triumph despite the ills of society

Man why can’t they show reruns like this today. Would be great tv again

[@mikewinburn]

Dean started out imitating the Mills Brothers style and voice inflections until he hit upon his own style. This is the ultimate thank you, that they’re sharing the stage together. How cool is this. Wish I’d seen this live. Marvelous

[@richardpowell3259]

I'm 53 , i grew up listening to the mills Brothers ... They are the best . Dean knew it also... He said he emulated Harry and even used his mannerisms ..

One of my favorite vocal quartets was The Mills Brothers. Dean is having fun singing with them.

After I read a book that his son wrote about him,I had even more respect for the man. Dean Martin was a good human being.

[@rendyagustian3335]

They knew how to have fun while singing and they seemed telling you stories through their songs. Love it

[@lorispenclor4406]

The Mills Brothers were affiliated with my hometown and had a home on the street where I grew up on Eastern Avenue in Bellefontaine, Ohio. The home still there today. I remember my maternal grandmother and my great aunt talking about it. Looks like true gentleman. Love it!

[@charlespapineau5428]

[@arbyfatbuckle1733]

this is so special. I loved Dean and the Mills Brothers.

[@toniwilson1579]

+Arby Fatbuckle ... Dean's producer Greg Gerrison once said he ask Dean who he fashion his singing after. Dean told him after Harry Mills. Greg also mention if you ever noticed a lot of Dean movement is fashion after Harry. Most of the time when performing with them Dean will have his hand on his idol shoulder. His way to show how much his friendship with him meant to Dean.

This performance oozes class, professionalism and a lotta fun - how this small gem can have only around 250k views in 5 years is hard to understand

[@josephgiustiniani2834]

........ Actually fb30xhk, it's easy to understand. We have most WW2 folks gone now, the generations after either had it in their homes, or they didn't. Our family did. So here I am at 61 loving all this music. But today's generation, has no desire for it. It was never played in the house when they were little kids. My parents had this stuff on LP records, and played them over and over. WE grew to love this great music. Today's kids listen for a minute or two, and switch to another station. They are bored with today's music. { can't blame them there }

Funny enough this sketch was actually based on a true story. The Mill's brothers did play in Steubenville and encouraged Dean in the early days before he teamed up with Jerry. Dean never forgot them. To show his appreciation The Mills Brothers appeared on Dean's T.V. show many times over the years.

Dean's idols

[@donaldperez7981]

The reason why Dean is wearing a white jacket, is because he is recreating the time when he met the Mills Brothers the very first time way back when.Back then, Dean would come out wearing a white jacket back in the day. Dean looked a little nervous and a little stiff, so Harry Mills suggested that he would light up a cigarette, and have a drink or two to calm down his nerves. And that was that. Then, when he begin working with Jerry Lewis, he didn't have the cigarette nor did he have the booze; it was after the partnership broke up, that he needed to reinvent himself with a new image and that's when he began using the cigarette, and and a glass in the other hand as part of his props on stage. It was reported by many, that it was nothing other than Apple juice, and once in a while iced tea in the glass. (To give it the illusion as if it was alcohol ) however, he did admit in several interviews, that he would have a glass of wine🍷 or two only with dinner; and that was about it. On stage and on T.V. it would usually be apple juice, or Ice tea his prop guy mentioned. It was also believed that after his son Dean Paul Jr. Passed away, he then began drinking heavily.

"Lips that touch liquor shall never touch mine!" If you're in a hurry and don't think you can spare six minutes to watch in its entirety, move the sound thingee over to the 2:00 mark. I defy anyone not to burst out laughing as Dean Martin self-parodies his supposed (fictional) addiction to booze. Frank said Dean was "never drunk" on stage. Worth watching from the beginning as Dean recalls that when he was starting out, he got to share the same bill with The Mills Brothers. Thanks Dino4Ever for sharing. Celebrated elsewhere this day [search] " Great Melody, Great Lyric, Great Rendition, Songwriting Workshop, Harmony Central "
