April 16, 1964…At United Recording Studios in Hollywood, Dean Martin recorded "Everybody Loves Somebody," a song co-written in 1947 by his pianist/accompanist Ken Lane. Martin's recording went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, sold more than a million copies, and became the theme song of his NBC-TV variety series (1965-1974). The words "Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime" are inscribed on Dean Martin's grave marker.
The record jacket pictured is oh-so-familiar to me. I have that album, of course.
ReplyDeleteThat particular album is the second Dino album that I purchased. The first? The Door Is Still Open to My Heart. I fell in love with "We'll Sing in the Sunshine" the first time that I heard out Dino croon that tune.
Can it really be the 50th anniversary of the recording of "Everybody Loves Somebody"? Wow! Makes me feel old.
