As a little girl watching Dean's variety show every week with my daddy to this day remains one of my most cherished memories. Always have preferred Dean's smooth and silky voice and "blewsy" style to Frank's!🤩

[@jesselobo3213]

Dean Martin was a true legend and a triple threat, he could sing, act and he was part of one the great comedy teams of all time with Jerry Lewis. He was truly one of the coolest guys to grace the airwaves.

[@rayhanks8529]

E V A ! ! !

[@timcarr6401]

I watched his show on Thursday nights when I was a teen. I'm an avid Elvis fan. But that didn't start for me until I had a dozen or so Dean LPs. You can tell the influence that Dean had on the singing voice of Elvis --especially in the 1950s doing ballads. I've read bios by two of his children. Pretty good stuff. Dean was the man that held the Rat Pack together --not Frank. I never cared much for Frank's voice. I like perhaps a dozen of his songs. But Dean?! Hundreds. He was as gifted in comedy as he was in singing. Jerry even admitted that Dean was funnier than him. To my knowledge Frank didn't record any song with some Italian in it. Dean was a first generation American. He didn't speak and English until first grade. Kids would make fun of his English troubles.

[@rayhanks8529]

@@timcarr6401 Agree so much Tim ,you might be dating yourself, but I appreciate it, I'm 79 and, yes Dino was my first favorite, and still is, that voice , as for Frank I like him too, he was good, but he could not sing like Dino, and during the Rat Pack years, Dino was the only one of the Rat Pack who would stand up to frank, and Frank Loved him, nice take Tim

American original!! I love Dino!!

[@woahblackbettybamalam]

[@JPMadden]

Dean Martin (1917-1995) was born Dino Paul Crocetti. Like my grandfather (1913-2007), he spoke only Italian until he went to school. He was my grandfather's favorite singer, and I remember how upset he was on Christmas Day in 1995 when he learned Dean Martin had died. Listening to Dino always brings back good memories of Grandpa.

[@dianafrost936]

Watching Martin and Lewis movies with my dad was part of my growing up experience.

His theme song was my very favourite song by Dean 💎🥰🇨🇦 Cheers from 🇨🇦

[@lindawhite5006]

Dean Martin sings as if he were smiling! His voice is smooth as butter!!!! One of my all time favorite performers. When I was a kid (I'm 65 now) he had a weekly TV show and I loved it.

[@SuHu62]

Dean Martin's voice is pure magic. Dean was a good actor as well. If you're ever in a classic Western mood, one of my mother's favorites was Rio Bravo. It's a John Wayne movie and features a duet by Dean and Ricky Nelson.

[@RickTBL]

Rio Bravo is great! Quentin Tarantino loves it, too.

[@MrBonners]

The whole Rat Pack played in many movies, many were comedies.

[@meggiles6848]

I was going to ask for that duet. He was singing half of it in Italian which was so beautiful.

[@charlessheifer2264]

And a great acting performance by 3-time Oscar winner Walter Brennan, "Rio Bravo" is the perfect western (and in color).

[@stephaniejones4749]

Have you ever gotten a message from tele-gram-me? What is that

[@cujola]

His signature song is "Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime." It blew The Beatles out of the #1 song position when the Beatles had the top 5 songs on the charts. Incredible song.

[@nolantomlinson7554]

I agree that is his signature song and I love it but I think my favorite song of Dean’s is Return to Me.

[@CCoburn3]

And he recorded it for that purpose. His daughter was raving about how great the Beatles were and Dino said he could go down to the studio that day and record a song that would take over as #1. And he did it too. Without breaking a sweat. (His toenail clippings had more talent than all of the Beatles combined.)

[@BjornAgain76]

Dean Martin has always been my favorite in the genre, and actually above Sinatra by a landslide. Not because Sinatra isn't amazing as well, but Dean Martin brings so much more charisma, personality and not to forget a great sense of humor!

I always Dean had the best voice. Sammy best all around..

[@charlessheifer2264]

I saw the other great Italian crooner, Perry Como, live in concert. My girlfriend (now my wife) and I sat 20 feet from him and he was awesome. He hit notes so easily that I was completely mesmerized by him. You should consider doing more Como especially "It's Impossible", "And I Love Her So", "Hot Diggity, Dog Diggity", "Till the End of Time", "Catch a Falling Star", "Surrender", "Some Enchanted Evening"... to name a few.

Never saw him live, but my parents would always watch his weekly variety TV show in the 60's. I liked him too even as a little kid. I always thought he was handsome and his two sons, Dino and Ricky were too. Volare is still an extremely popular song in Italy, a beautiful country, with beautiful people and a heart melting language!

@@stormtwo-spirits5662 Not a duo but the Marx Brothers. They started out doing classical musical performances under their mother's guidance but at a performance in Texas, Nacogdoches maybe, the audience started throwing things at them & booing them. Groucho got up and started telling them off. The audience laughed so hard every time he said something, the p'od brothers just trying to give a classical music performance finally just went outside in the street mad, but then it dawned on them they were comedians and that's when their true calling was born. I think they went back inside and gave the audience more tongue lashing. Their Mother wasn't happy about it at the time though. Now did I just make all that up? Embellish the story? Or am I dreamin?

If memory serves, Dean used to be called "King Of Cool" back in the day. Always relaxed and laid back in his stage persona.

She has an amazing story as well Her career began in 1942 and appeared in the 1945 original Broadway theatre production of the musical Carib Song. In the early 1950s, she had six US Top 30 entries, including "Uska Dara" and "I Want to Be Evil". Her other recordings include the UK Top 10 song "Under the Bridges of Paris" (1954), "Just an Old Fashioned Girl" (1956) and "Where Is My Man" (1983). Orson Welles once called her the "most exciting woman in the world".[2] She starred as Catwoman in the third and final season of the television series Batman in 1967.

Same with my mom. I played Everybody loves somebody sometime during her last hour and she moved her head toward the speaker.

[@jamesdamiano8894]

Dean is my favorite of the rat pack. His voice was so good. Some other good Deano songs you guys should do are "Return To Me", "Little Ole Wine Drinker Me", "Send Me The Pillow You Dream On", "Glory Of Love", and "King Of The Road". There are plenty more of course, but his versions of these suggestions are really good. Also check out his duet with Nancy Sinatra called "Things". You guys need to give a listen to another crooner I don't think you've ever done is Al Martino. "I Love You Because", "Painted Tainted Rose", and "Look Around (You'll Find Me There)"

[@geoffthomas3238]

They reacted to it but it was a version from a movie and basically had Dean just playing a keyboard. I remember thinking what a shame the way Amber lives horns she would live the full record version with the orchestra the one they reacted to did not do that song justice

This was Italy’s entry for the 1958 Eurovision Song Contest originally sung by Domenico Mudugno and called ‘Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu’. It came 3rd. Would love you to checkout more Eurovision bangers, the contest is in May every year 😉

[@reginamunoz8394]

I checked it out online and Modugno's version is better than Martin's! Must be because it's sung completely in Italian by a native. Lovely!

[@keithwarrington2430]

How it didn't win is a mystery to me, The song was the first by Mudugno to win the San Remo Music festival before being entered into the Eurovision. He won th San Remo three times. In my opinion Dino spoils the song by starting with the chorus rather than the first verse which ends on a suspended 7th or similar chord , meaning everything leads up the the crescendo of one of popular music's greatest sing-along choruses no matter what language you speak.. Martin ( who's singing I love as a rule ) puts this in as a bridge almost halfway through the song but the natural progression is lost compared to the original. So Many songs and films have been ruined on the grounds that American audiences wouldn't go for three verses in italian or french or the hero being English or Mexican etc. why do American media producers have such a low opinion of their citizens' cultural capacity?

"" translates as "flying" "Cantaré" translates as "singing" The person in the song is in love and his heart is "flying and singing." Dean Martin was born Dino Paul Crocetti on June 7, 1917, in Steubenville, Ohio, to Italian parents. His first language was Italian and he spoke no English until he started school at the age of five. (I love you two. I love your show.)

[@isabellegarza9070]

He's a romantic, and a voice that delivers a sensual tone. That's why a lot of women swoon over him. He did three shows: the Dean Martin show, The Dean Martin Variety, and The Celebrity Roast. Other songs I like from him is: Let It Snow, Baby It's Cold Outside, Ain't That A Kick In The Head, Hey Mambo, and On An Evening In Rome. There's a lot more but wanted to keep it short.

[@margaritadimichele3415]

When I turn 21 on my Birthday in the 70's went to Vegas to see Dean. I am Hispanic, He got me on stage and sang Spanish eyes to me and held my hand and kissed me on the cheek. I will never forget it. I'm now 65 and the memories will always be there.

[@willdwyer6782]

This is an English translation of an Italian pop song called Nel Blu, Dipinto Di Blu released in February 1958 by Domenico Modugno. This version holds the record for the biggest jump on the Billboard Hot 100. It debuted on August 4, 1958 at number 54 and hit number one just two weeks later. It was at number two within the first week. It was so popular that Chrysler named one of their 1970s Plymouth models after it.

@@davidreinwald3394 Yes, Dean spoke mainly Italian with his father until he was five years old because his father was more comfortable conversing in his native Italian. However, Dean’s mother eventually put an end to that because she was concerned it would hold her son back from learning English properly.

[@tigristhelynx7224]

One of Deans best songs! It is Italian. "Nel blu, dipinto di blu" means "In the blue, painted blue." Here's a short snippet so you can understand what its about. Flying, oh, oh! Singing, oh, oh, oh, oh! In the blue painted blue. Happy to be up there. And I flew, I flew happily to the heights of the sun. As the world slowly disappeared out there, A soft music was playing just for me. And I was flying, was flying happily higher than the sun and still higher, While the world slowly, slowly was disappearing far away down there, a sweet music was playing just for me. I think, that dream does not come back ever again. I painted my face and hands blue. Then suddenly I was being kidnapped by the wind. And I began to fly in the endless sky.

Not only was Dean Martin an absolute crooner, he was an original member of the Rat Pack, with Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and Joey Bishop. He made some killer movies from the late 40s to the early 70s, and hosted the Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts. He was a national treasure of talent. Oh, and his comedy with Jerry Lewis is worth checking out too!

[@merlball8520]

I LOVE to listen to Dean Martin songs when I cook Italian food, this being among my favorites. It makes the sauce (chef's kiss) turn out perfecto. Thank you for such a fun and upbeat reaction.

[@deanm375]

As you can see by my user name and thumbnail I'm huge fan of Dean Martin. So much so that when he passed away on Christmas morning 1995 I have several friends (some who I hadn't seen since high school leaving condolence messages on my answering machine. I had the good fortune to see him perform live in Vegas. Also saw Sinatra live at the Universal Amphitheater in LA in 1984. Some other songs to check out by Dino are "You're Nobody Til Somebody Loves you? " "Ain't that a Kick in the head" The slow version of "Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime" "Evening in Roma" "Sway" "I wish you Love" "Cha Cha Cha De"Amour" "Your Other Love" "Cry Like a Baby"... okay I have to to stop now. But there are many more songs.

When I was a child I loved his voice and still do. He was a true crooner 💜 I'll never never forget that he passed on a Christmas day. He also was a not bad actor and had a variety show too✌💜

[@susanboyd245]

Oh my goodness, I love this song ❤❤ Thank You for playing it !!

[@shuggiemcg1]

Dean martin was not only a great singer but a great actor as well!

[@cassandranash5059]

I LOVE when he'd sing in Italian. Such a velvety smooth voice and my favorite of the "crooners".

[@KatherineGanzel]

I can share that my sister-in-law saw Frank Sinatra in concert near the end of his life. She said when he came on stage, she was saddened to see how old he looked, but once he started singing she no longer noticed that and it was like she was watching the classic Frank giving one of the great performances she'd seen in her life.

[@kerrywhimsey2061]

The voice and delivery are so relaxed, tension just eases out when you listen.

[@susanliltz3875]

“IN THE MISTY MOON LIGHT” by Dean is beautiful and romantic!!!

[@marymays8846]

Oh my!!! Yes I love that song 🎶🎶🎶

[@nolantomlinson7554]

Dean is always great but for In The Misty Moonlight I prefer Jerry Wallace

[@laurin4405]

[@marjwei5732]

I loved all his songs especially “when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie” I loved my childhood 🥰

[@debihuffman7650]

"That's Amore"

[@jasonsabbath6996]

For a few years I had to drive down to Tampa, from Orlando, and pick up my grandmother to bring her from my aunt's to my mom's place. One time I brought my Dean Martin greatest hits CD for the drive. After 3 Dean songs in a row she asked, "What station is this" and when I told her it was a Dean Martin CD she couldn't believe I would buy that. I laughed and told her he was an all-time favorite! Who doesn't love Dean?

[@tombeyerlein3813]

Dean had a fun variety show on TV from 1965-74; I almost literally grew up on it. He had the persona of a boozy ladies' man, and his comedy style charmed millions. In the Fifties, he was the straight man in a hugely popular comedy duo with Jerry Lewis, and at that time Lewis was considered by many (wrongly) to be the real talent. Dean's "Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime" became his theme song, and you should definitely check it out!

[@cherylhurst7093]

Love him! I never heard this entire song before. When I was a child, I loved Dean Martin because my grandfather loved him and also looked like him a bit. Really dark hair, dark skin, and dark eyes and he got so tan in the summer. But I had a bit of a crush on Dean Martin when I was about 10. I am sure someone else will mention this, but he was from Italy. Beautiful Italian in that song. I speak Spanish and could grasp some of the words but many are not similar.

[@marybaillie8907]

In The Blue Sky, such a beautiful song, sung partially in Italian. Domenica Modugno released this in July, 1958 and Dean released it in August, 1958. Dean's smooth and debonair appearance, always coming across as your best friend on his TV show, makes for a beautiful record. He always had a drink and a cigarette on his TV show, which was usually apple juice, giving you the idea he was slightly lit. He choose apple juice because it looked like boubon. Lol Such a great voice. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️ ❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@charcampbellmusic]

Dean Martin was smooth and buttery with the vocals. I love his voice, and this is my favorite song by him.

[@pampierson2359]

I love him. My Dad sounded so much like him. Thanks for the wonderful memories.

[@starman2337]

Memories are made of this.

[@ivylady13]

My mother would often talk about seeing Dean Martin at the Chicago Theater LIVE in the late 40's. Of course she also saw Frank Sinatra there but Dean was always her favorite.

[@sentinelmortgagecorp4291]

This is just another reminder that you guys really need to do a movie reaction to The Cannonball Run. It’s HILARIOUS and Dean Martin is in it along with the great Sammy Davis Jr. and they are a riot. I think it’s also the first movie I ever saw Jackie Chan in. Terry Bradshaw is in it too. Trust me, you’ll love it.

[@xzonia1]

I remember loving that movie as a kid, but I haven't seen it again in 40+ years. I'd love the reminder of why I remember laughing so much at it. :)

[@Lakeshore14]

I agree. Cannonball Run would be a great movie to react to.

@@sentinelmortgagecorp4291 I'm wondering if this is the movie with the license plate joke (don't want to say more and spoil things in case it is). Pretty sure the movie I'm thinking of had Kurt Russell in it; I might be combining two movies. Lol

[@maa6507]

I love how you appreciate this music. And I especially love how you are sharing it with your kids which will help to keep it alive years from now. Giving your children the gift of wonderful music is so important. I did not realize until much later the gift my parents, especially my Mom, gave me growing up in a house filled with music. From the old AM stations that played music like this, Sinatra, etc. to my mom's records of musicals, Mitch Miller, classical. I remember Vaughn Monroe and Dance Ballerina Dance because it likely spurned me to ballet lessons and love of that. That's a super oldie. Your children are very fortunate to have such great parents.

[@surlechapeau]

Jay & Amber, you'll love his "Everybody Loves Somebody" and "Return To Me"!!

[@pattiturner0425]

"Return To Me" is my favorite! That was also a sweet movie.

[@albertsugarman6827]

He was so very smooth. A voice that can captive you totally!!!'👏👏👏

[@lydianunez2522]

He's amazing. His voice is liquid gold. He was a great comedic actor with Jerry Lewis. A great actor overall, he was in Western with John Wayne, Also a part of Frank Sinatra's " Ratpack"

[@jfox9126]

Dean Martin was my dog’s favorite singer. Whenever I would play “That’s Amore” his little Chihuahua eyes would get so droopy and serene.

[@magneto7930]

How strange that I've had this song in my head today. I don't speak the language but I remember it well by Domenico Modugno, who had the big hit with it. But you can't go wrong with any Dean Martin!

[@robertzoomer9886]

I used to love Saturdah afternoons watching Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis films always had me laughing and then got to hear Dean singing and then if were unlucky we would hear Jerry sing in his 'characters' voice. These movies all for all the family as nothing bad in them.

[@littleogeechee223]

He could sing and act rings around Sinatra. There! I said it! His voice is incredible!

[@aletmartins6940]

I agree!

[@kbusby4824]

He was my favorite of the rat pack.

[@justlilyanne]

I knew a couple of studio musicians (back in the day) and both had worked with Dean Martin they said that he's absolutely a what you see is what you get' person. Neither of them could say enough good things about him. Loved him when I was five and still love him all of these decades later!

[@scottvanhille5688]

Dean is so good. He's a legend during the crooner era. Song suggestion: Al Martino--Spanish Eyes (1967). He's another crooner to check out.

After an amazing career in nightclubs and the Los Vegas stage, Starting in 1965, Dean Martin was the host of the hit television variety program The Dean Martin Show, which centered on Martin's singing and comedic talents and was characterized by his relaxed, easy-going demeanor. From 1974 to 1984, he was roastmaster on the popular Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, which drew celebrities, comedians and politicians. Throughout his career, Martin performed in concert stages, nightclubs, audio recordings and appeared in 85 film and television productions.

Dean Martin in 1964 knocked The Beatles out of the number one stop on the charts with his biggest hit "Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime". He was 47 when he did this and sent a telegram to Elvis Presley which said, if you can't handle the Beatles, I will. He was also one of Elvis' favorite singers.

[@LMmccallL57]

The language is absolutely Italian. Dean is Italian and has been known to speak it and sing it. My mom used to love this song because my grandfather used to sing it around the house when she was a baby/child. 🙂 When my brother and I were born, she sang it to us and told us about our grandfather, and on occasion, she'd play the record. My grandmother would do the same at her house and talk about my grandfather, and how much he would have spoiled us like he did with his own children. 🙂♥️

[@debbieelholm7921]

I’m a huge Frank Sinatra fan, too. Through Frank I listened to Dean Martin and Perry Comp. I started listening to Frank in the early 80s when he released “New York, NewYork.” I never saw either Frank or Dean in concert. However, I was lucky to see Perry Como in concert. And yes, he was also dressed to the nines.

[@jamessullivan5860]

Tony Bennett has to be ranked right up there with Sinatra and Martin. Great Italian crooners. I was also lucky enough to see Sinatra live. I’ve never seen anyone else with such stage presence and command of an audience.

[@davidmazon7516]

When I was a teenager we weren't supposed to like music like this. But I was a closet Dean Martin fan. My mom actually got me to like him and others like Engelbert Humperdinck. Tom Jones. There's no way I would have admitted it to my friend till I got older. Then I didn't care, because I find out they like the them just the same. What a trip, huh?

[@cesarelombardo9179]

Volare è una canzone italiana cantata da Domenico Modugno al Festival di Sanremo nel 1958 (se ricordo bene). Da lì si cantò in tutto il mondo. Vero titolo della canzone "Nel blu dipinto di blu" ma il ritornello orecchiabile fece sì che si intolasse "Volare".

[@suzie4417]

I love Dino Martin, my Dad & Mom as well - used to always make sure we turned our tv on each week to watch Dino he had a weekly show ! He would have the popular Singers of the day especially his good buddies Frank Sinatra, Jerry Lewis, Sammy Davis,Perry Como, Nat King Cole, Patty Page, Doris Day…. As kids we danced to his songs, sang the Italian words even though we had no idea what we were singing 🎉 Thanks so much for bringing part of my childhood back by playing Volare ! You should catch Dean live on an old tv show 🥰💥💎

I’m a New Yorker and all of my grandparents and aunts and uncles and great aunts and great uncles are from Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, etc. Unfortunately, they have all passed on, but I used to always love listening to their stories about when they would go see people like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin live at the famous theaters throughout New York City. When I listen to them sing it makes me feel a connection to that bygone era

Dino spoke only Italian til the age of 5. He was absolutely the best. I was fortunate to see him 2x, in Vegas. He is just as stunning in person!❤ I love your love of Dean Martin!!❤

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Dino was part of The Rat Pack with Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis, Jr. His biggest hits were ‘Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime” and “You’re Nobody ‘Til Somebody Loves You.” Blessed with perfect pitch, Dean Martin played the drunk on stage, but word is he actually didn’t drink much at all. There are lots of frank/Dean/Sammy performances on KZbin.

[@tonydelapa1911]

Yes, I saw Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra together on Dean’s birthday, early June 1978. It was at a remarkably small club (for who we were seeing) near downtown Chicago. We had a small table that had one edge along the front left corner of the stage. Dean played the drunk (who could sing his ass off) all night, after Sinatra mentioned it was his birthday. Many women’s undergarments were thrown onto the small stage throughout the night. T😊he music and singing was awesome. I was 18 at the time, there with my Dad.

[@Festus171]

Deano! My dad used to watch his show when I was a kid and it started at my bedtime, but I'd always try to see him come down the fireman's pole to the stage before running off to bed. Brilliant singer, actor, and comedian who just about everybody loved.

[@paularietta6744]

Thank you guys so much! I can't tell you how good this made me feel. This was from my parent's day (and I'm old) but I absolutely love it. Coming from an Italian family this song, and many others, were always playing when we had huge family gatherings. Oh how I miss those times. With regard to dressing up, we used to dress up for everything back then. It was considered impolite to not take the time to get dressed up a bit if you were going anywhere.

[@lindaulloa4786]

Dean was part of the group of singers referred to as "The Rat Pack." Consisting of Dean, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and an actor whose name escapes me. They were all good friends. 🔥
