Download also available from:Dean Martin Artist Snapshot:Dean Martin was a towering pop-culture icon of the 20th century. He first became known as part of a wildly successful music-and-comedy team with Jerry Lewis in the 1940s and '50s, subsequently becoming a solo singing star. His mellow, Bing Crosby-inspired crooning style lent itself well to everything from Italian ballads to pop standards and even C&W material. As part of Frank Sinatra's notorious Rat Pack, he took part in numerous films and concerts with Sinatra and Sammy Davis, Jr. A major presence in movies, and on TV, radio, and records up to the 1970s, Martin was one of the most recognizable faces in America. He had been in retirement from show business for several years when he died in 1995 at the age of 78.

That sublime, preternatural indifference is both underscored and belied with dizzying regularity on this good 30-track overview of Martin's singing career. The breezy hits "That's Amore" and "Volare" underscored his public staying power when many counted him out in the face of a surging 1950s youth market. He repeated the feat again with trademark effortlessness a decade later to knock no less than the Beatles off the top of the charts with the unlikely, if inviting schmaltz of "Everybody Loves Somebody." Ever informed by his warm, deceptive vocal ease, Martin's rich signature tunes are well-represented here. But the collection also spans enough lovable kitsch ("Mambo Italiano," "Little Old Wine Drinker Me") and unabashed romantic yearning ("Innamorata," "Send Me the Pillow You Dream On") to deepen the compelling mystery of one of pop music's most enduring ciphers. --Jerry McCulley If You Enjoy "Dino: The Essential Dean Martin (CD)", May We Also Recommend:Customer Reviews for "Dino: The Essential Dean Martin (CD)" by Dean Martin (Artist)There are no customer reviews yet.
