Dean Martin - "For The Good Times" - LIVE

Dean Martin sings "For The Good Times" live on his TV show (April 8, 1971). Dean was almost bursting into tears.

[@RafaelLima-jg3pm]

No special electronics equipment or fancy ear pieces......Just a man with true talent!!

[@mitchmaglio1363]

He made it look so effortless. Dean's vocals were as warm as a blanket on a cold day and equally comforting. Timeless.

[@dichambers]

Loved Dean's voice! Not many singers who can sit on a couch and just sing and sound great! Such a talent!

[@frankhendricks5918]

Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face,,

[@lindamcgonigal6931]

My Mom and Dad didn't listen to alot of the same music, but this was what I would call "their song". They were married for just over 21 years before my Dad passed away. My Mom was a widow at 42 yrs old and I was a 19 yr old sophomore in college. Every time I hear this song, I think of my parents. Mom has now gone on too, after being without her only love for nearly 36 years. Maybe soon I'll be able to join them and we'll be a family again with my older brother too, also gone, just 2 years after my Mom went to be with our Dad. Love this song and the beautiful memories that it brings.❤

[@usaneebeilles9510]

I'm sorry for your loss. They've left to the better place. You've that sweet memories with you. You're not alone. Wish you good health. Take care.

[@lindamcgonigal6931]

Thank you for your kind reply. This year has been particularly difficult, and my Dad passed away on Sun Feb 11th and was buried on Wed Feb 14th, 51 yrs ago, and it just so happened that those dates were on the same days of the week this year and I've been in the hospital for a week now, with no visitors. I'm glad my parents are together in a better place and I'm ready to join them.

Im sorry for your loss. Difficult to carry on when loves of your life have gone but we do. Memories and knowing you will see them someday keeps us going .

The beauty of Dean’s songs on the “couch” were the simpler & less orchestrated arrangements which allowed his voice to really flourish.

This is orchestrated, and I don't think simpler. Yes, its a really good performance , but what is a 'couch' performance?
