Dean Martin A famed star of the silver screen, television icon, Grammy® Award-winning singing sensation and member of the renowned “Rat Pack,” Dean Martin’s show business legacy is legendary. His musical career features such classics as “Ain’t That A Kick In The Head,” “That’s Amore,” “Mambo Italiano,” “Everybody Loves Somebody,” “Sway,” “Volare,” and more, releasing dozens of album recordings over his lifetime. Starring in dozens of well-known movies including Ocean’s Eleven, Rio Bravo, The Caddy, and Who Was That Lady? – for which Martin received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor, coupled with a highly popular television career – Dean Martin certainly earned his nickname as the “King of Cool.” Visit DeanMartin.com and his official Facebook and Twitter accounts for more information.
I didn’t get into Rat Pack music until I was in my 20′s, and even then not too much- its only been in more recent years that I find myself drawn to artists like Dean Martin- perhaps its the movies I’m into watching, that often have music from this time period, or perhaps I’m just mellowing with age (like wine. Wine gets better, right? So yea, I’m mellowing)there’s just something so cool, so fun about listening to these classic tunes while driving (or cleaning.
I like to dance while I clean). Maybe its just the hundreds of weddings I’ve been at either as a bride, a guest, a photographer or coordinator? Doesn’t matter. The smooth, soulful and romantic crooning sounds of Dean Martin are always a pleasure to listen to and having this huge compilation of his work makes This Mama a happy mama. I’m listening to Mambo Italiano as I type this with a smile on my face.
