DINO SINGIN" "LET IT SNOW"
Dino Paul Crocetti (his real name) was born on June 7, 1917 in Steubenville (Ohio) in a family of Italian immigrants, which explains his respect for the Italian musical tradition and the tendency to highlight a profile of 'latin lover 'who came to caricature in his film performances. He managed to amass a significant fortune throughout his life, thanks to its connection to Las Vegas, the unique duo formed for ten years with Jerry Lewis, whom he shot to stardom after making various comedy routines US, and its friend Frank Sinatra. Just next to 'Voice' and Sammy Davis junior form the core of the Rat Pack, one of the most popular artistic groups from the city of casinos.
He soon left school after discovering that theirs were no pencils or books, but the cards and dice.

Dean Martin fue uno de los grandes artistas estadounidenses de todos los tiempos. Así lo reflejan sus tres estrellas en el Paseo de la Fama de Hollywood por su carrera en el cine, la televisión y la música. Grabó más de un centenar de discos y obtuvo éxitos musicales que a día de hoy todavía perduran, especialmente sus interpretaciones de los temas clásicos de Navidad.
Dino Paul Crocetti (su verdadero nombre) nació el 7 de junio de 1917 en Steubenville (Ohio) en el seno de una familia de inmigrantes italianos, lo que explica su respeto por el acervo musical italiano y esa tendencia a remarcar un perfil de ‘latin lover’ que llegó a caricaturizar en sus actuaciones cinematográficas. Logró amasar una importante fortuna a lo largo de su vida, sobre todo gracias a su vinculación a Las Vegas, al dúo irrepetible que formó durante diez años con Jerry Lewis, con quien saltó al estrellato tras realizar diversos números cómicos por Estados Unidos, y a su amigo Frank Sinatra. Precisamente junto a ‘la Voz’ y Sammy Davis junior formaría el núcleo duro del Rat pack, uno de los grupos artísticos más populares de la ciudad de los casinos.
Abandonó pronto la escuela tras descubrir que lo suyo no eran los lápices ni los libros, sino la baraja y los dados. Durante su adolescencia desempeñó diferentes trabajos e hizo algunas incursiones en el mundo del boxeo con el seudónimo de ‘Kid Crocetti’, pero fue en el circuito de los nightclubs donde alcanzó cierto éxito profesional como cantante y humorista.
Destacó por su cálida voz de barítono y por su simpatía allí donde iba. Su figura de galán incorregible, aficionado al tabaco y al alcohol, le granjeaba fácilmente el cariño de los espectadores y la admiración especial del público femenino. Dean Martin fue un hombre de gran carisma, un galán pícaro, elegante, mujeriego, juerguista y un seductor de personalidad arrolladora al que no se le conocieron enemigos. En el cine actuó en más de sesenta películas y nos dejó títulos memorables como Rio Bravo, Bésame, tonto o El Baile de los Malditos. Sus personajes solían destilar un aire entre ingenuo, caradura y cómico que le sentaba como un guante y no le importaba aparecer en películas malas con tal de que el ambiente del rodaje fuera divertido.

Una vida amorosa inestable y el alcohol perjudicaron durante los últimos años la carrera profesional de quien había sido el artista mejor pagado de la historia. Se casó cuatro veces y tuvo ocho hijos. Quienes le conocieron solían comentar que era una persona muy agradable y cálida, pero a la vez distante y solitaria. Era famosa su costumbre de organizar fiestas en casa y aislarse en una habitación al poco rato de recibir a los invitados para sentarse a ver algún western, un género cinematográfico que adoraba.
La muerte de su hijo Dino Jr. en un accidente aéreo en 1987 le amargó el carácter y le sumió en una profunda depresión de la que no logró recuperarse nunca. Paradojas de la vida, el hombre cuya música sonaba alegre para estas fiestas en los hogares de todo el mundo, nos dijo adiós un 25 de diciembre de 1995 en su casa de Beverly Hills a consecuencia de un enfisema que le produjo su avanzado cáncer de pulmón. Tenía 78 años.
Como homenaje a este incomparable showman rescatamos sus cinco canciones navideñas más conocidas y nos dejamos deleitar una vez más por su melódica y romántica voz.
