for his remarkable written word skills as well as his powerfully perfect
perspective on our one and only Dino....sure to draw many many of his readership

DEAN
MARTIN AT 99 JUNE 7, 2016
Today
would have been Dean Martin’s 99th birthday. Next year, at this time, we’ll be
celebrating his centennial. It’s quite remarkable how popular Dean Martin
remains in today’s culture, more than two decades after his passing.
Martin’s
enduring legacy is both impressive and ironic. He endures in the culture as a
symbol of the cool swinger. Dino represents the hipster who loved to party,
drink, smoke and have a good time. In our more enlightened society the practice
of drinking to excess, smoking with impunity and living a life of partying
without limits or consequences is viewed through a clinical lens of disease or
addiction. Dean and his Rat Pack contemporaries represent of simpler time of
“ignorant bliss.” But here’s the kicker – Dean wasn’t nearly the raucous party
animal he made out to be. Don’t get me wrong, he was no Perry Como but he wasn’t
as wild as his pal Frank Sinatra either.
When
Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis ended their partnership in 1956, the show biz world
was stunned. Hollywood luminaries intervened to try to convince them to stay
together. It is impossible for young people today to imagine just how big
“Martin & Lewis” were in our culture. However, after their impending breakup
was announced, those who had a soft spot for the handsome singer, who was
increasingly getting edged out of the spotlight by his ego-crazed partner, were
concerned for Dino’s future. It was generally believed that Jerry Lewis would go
on to greater fame and fortune while his partner would fall flat on his face.
Lewis had convinced their fans and friends what he himself had come to believe,
that Jerry Lewis was the real talent in the duo.
Upon
their breakup, Dean’s first solo motion picture was a piece salaciously entitled
“Ten Thousand Bedrooms.” Unfortunately, the movie was not nearly as enticing as
the title. It was a flop, only encouraging the belief of some in the business
that Dean without Jerry was a wet firecracker. But Dino was no novice to show
business. By the time of his split with Lewis, Dean Martin had been singing for
his supper for nearly 20 years.
He
hired a talented comedy writer named Ed Simmons to help him craft a nightclub
act. Dean knew he needed “a hook.” Like so many in show biz, Dean loved the
nightclub comic Joe E. Lewis. He thought that he could pull off a “drunk
persona” like Joe E. had thrived on for decades. Simmons wrote him some material
in that vein. Once out on stage, and with the security of the written material,
Simmons said Dean seamlessly began to ad-lib his own ideas into the material
he’d written. The act was a success and he would forever be thought of as
“Drunky Dean.”
The
irony of Dean’s success as the drunken, self-deprecating comic/singer is two
pronged. First of all, while Dean was certainly a drinker in good standing, many
times on stage he had nothing more lethal that apple juice in his glass. It had
the same hue of Scotch and worked well to wet your whistle while singing. Years
later when NBC signed Dean to an extremely lucrative contract, Dean quipped, “Do
you think NBC would pay millions of dollars to a drunk?”
In
the most successful years of his career, 1950s – 1970s, Dean kept a pretty
routine schedule. Up at dawn, breakfast alone before the family woke up, out to
the gold course for 9-27 holes of golf (depending on his work schedule) and then
home for dinner with the family, perhaps watch a western on TV (Dean loved
westerns) and in bed by 10:00 or 11:00 p.m. so he could wake up early the next
morning and do it all over again. That’s not to say he never went out or went to
parties. He did what he had to do but his wife Jeannie was far more interested
in the social scene than Dean was.
Dean
was essentially an insulated personality. He was not, by nature, a gregarious
social butterfly. He abhorred small talk. He once told his children, “It’s not
the chit I mind so much as it is the chat.” His daughter Deana fashioned a
poignant portrait of her famous dad in her 2004 memoir, “Memories Are Made Of
This.” In one passage, Deana writes, “He was surprisingly tactile. He touched
people, hugged them, squeezed their shoulders, and allowed them to touch him in
return. With his relaxed manner, he had the ability to set people immediately at
ease. He was undoubtedly a complicated man, a Gemini with two distinct facets to
his personality, and sometimes he would say or do hurtful things without
realizing it. There must have been a mass of emotions going on beneath the
surface that we didn’t know about, but Dad never revealed them. Instead, he made
it his business to present the image of a sweet guy who was everybody’s pallie.
Shirley MacLaine said of Dad, ‘he was nice to everyone, he just didn’t want nice
to go on too long.'”
An
interesting sidebar is the realization that Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra were
such complete opposites. Sinatra was a guy who seemed to not only thrive within
a group but one who seemed to need “the group.” Whether it was because he needed
to be a leader or he just hated to be alone, he was always creating a party
atmosphere around him. Dean just wanted to be left alone. And yet, I believe
their affection for each other during the heyday of the 1960s was genuine.
The
other irony I alluded to above was the longer that Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis
were together, the more Jerry felt he needed to prove to everyone that he could
do everything. His insecurity even drove him to try to prove to people that he,
too, was a singer. He was not. It is painful and embarrassing today to watch any
of the old clips with him trying to sing along with, or better than, his
partner. Could he sing harmony like a great old vaudeville showman? Yes. Was his
voice and style polished enough to record an album of vocal selections as he did
in the late 1950s? No. But the cruel joke was that his partner was every bit as
funny, if not funnier, than he was! Jerry Lewis was a clown and a great one. But
Dean Martin was a comedian. In fact, as years went by, it seemed Dean enjoyed
making people laugh more than he enjoyed singing.
In
the end, Dean’s years without Jerry were more successful than Jerry’s years
without Dean. Jerry had about a decade run of successful motion pictures without
Dean but he failed more than once in creating a TV career and he certainly
didn’t sustain any kind of recording career. Dean, on the other hand, found
success in films, recordings, nightclubs and TV, especially TV. One of Jerry’s
complaints about his partner was that he didn’t like to work too hard and that
was a justifiable complaint. Dean Martin was not burdened by the same sense of
ambition, drive and need to be in control that Jerry Lewis and Frank
Sinatra both displayed. Therefore, when it was learned that Dean was going to do
a weekly network variety show with minimal work and rehearsal, disaster was
predicted. Nevertheless, Dean pulled it off brilliantly. The more goofs he made,
the more people felt like Dean had been thrown in front of the cameras without
having any idea of what was going on, the more the audience loved it.
Dean
Martin’s legacy as “The King of Cool” continues to enchant new fans 20 years
after his departure from the world stage. The King may be dead, but long may he
reign!
I’ve
posted this one before but it never gets old.
He
was, in actuality, a very good dancer.
The
following is one of my favorite moments from Dean’s TV shows. Proof of Dean’s
terpsichorean talents.

Toast Dean Martin With His Signature ‘Flame of Love’ Martini
In honor of what would have been Dean Martin’s 99th birthday, we celebrate his special Martini, involving a showman’s infusion of sherry and flaming orange peel.
If anybody deserved a signature cocktail it was legendary bon vivant Dean Martin.
Dino, who would have turned 99 today, was, of course, an integral member of Frank Sinatra’s Rat Pack--and that’s not to mention producing dozens of hit songs and staring in a range of television shows and movies, including 16 screwball comedies with partner Jerry Lewis.
Martin was also no stranger to bars, like Sinatra. He supposedly worked as a teenage in Prohibition speakeasies in his hometown of Steubenville, Ohio, including a stint as a croupier.
While Ol’ Blue Eyes was a very strict Jack Daniel’s drinker, as the story goes, Martin was generally a whiskey drinker and was in need of his own tipple.
However, James Kaplan, author of Dean and Me: (A Love Story) and Sinatra: The Chairman, is quick to point out that Martin’s well-known public drunkenness was for much of his career a shtick, which he started in the late 1950s after his partnership with Lewis ended. In fact, Martin was usually actually drinking apple juice on stage.
One night in 1970, as he was wont to do, he was drinking at celebrity hangout Chasen’s, the historic Los Angeles restaurant, which was started by New Yorker founding editor Harold Ross and failed comedian Dave Chasen in 1936 and stayed open for 59 years. (A New Yorker obituary for the establishment didn’t underplay its cultural importance and called it “a restaurant that has meant to Hollywood what Maxim’s has to Paris and “21” to New York.”)
Martin was talking to Chasen’s long-serving bartender Pepe Ruiz “and he was sick of drinking the same Martini all the time and he was like “Pepe don’t you have something different?,” says Robert Pulcini who directed the documentary Off the Menu - The Last Days of Chasen’s with his wife Shari Springer Berman. (It was the first of many movies the couple co-directed, including the Oscar-nominated American Splendor.) After all, the restaurant was a good place for a celeb to find a signature recipe: it was where the non-alcoholic Shirley Temple was dreamed up for the child star.
Ruiz’s two major twists on the standard Martini recipe, according to famous bartender Dale DeGroff’s book The Essential Cocktail, was that he replaced the traditional dry vermouth with some very dry sherry, which he used to coat the inside of a cocktail glass.
The other interesting step was that Ruiz dramatically flamed large orange peels over the empty glass, which covered it with a film of toasted orange flavor. The oils in the zest of an orange are flammable and the burst of fire can not only add a dash of citrus but also a bit of excitement to a drink’s preparation.
Ruiz would then shake some vodka with ice and strain it into the prepared glass. To maximize the orange quotient he would flame a final piece of orange peel over the finished drink.
“There was a drama, there was a showmanship to it,” says Springer Berman. At Chasen’s, “the food wasn’t just about the food. And the drink wasn’t just about the drink. It was about the performance.”
It quickly became a staple. “Heaven,” is how Barbara Sinatra described how it tasted in her book, Lady Blue Eyes: My Life with Frank.
There was one small problem. Once the other celebrities saw Martin and his friends drinking the cocktail it, like the Hobo Steak and the Snowball dessert, became a signature of the restaurant. And “it takes a really long time to make, so it would cause a huge backup at the bar,” says Springer Berman. “The waiters were like, ‘That damn Flame of Love it takes forever.’”
The Flame of Love
Ingredients:
1 dash Tio Pepe Sherry
2 oz Vodka
Orange peels
Glass: Martini
Directions:
Add a bit of sherry to a cocktail glass and swirl it around. Pour out any excess. Then flame two large orange peels over the glass. Add the vodka to a cocktail shaker and fill with ice. Shake and strain into the prepared glass. Flame a final piece of orange peel over the finished drink and add it as a garnish.
Based on the recipe in Dale DeGroff’s book The Essential Cocktail

OK. Let's get some "magic" swirlin'! This week's Serenade, "So Easy to Remember But So Hard to Forget", seems to fit perfectly for a special time like this. I'm gonna dedicate this one to 'nother very special "Dino diggin'soul" in my life...that has come & gone...& who would have celebrated a birthday yesterday. This ones goin' up to Eddie V. 'Nother GREAT guy. So, here we go pals...enjoy the live vid from Dean's show. Keep smilin' & keep spreadin' the Dino magic! Ciao!
Your sweet expression the smile you gave me The way you looked when we met It's easy to remember so hard to forget
I hear you whisper I always love you I know it's over and yet It's easy to remember but oh so hard to forget So I must dream to have your hand caress me fingers press me tight I'd rather dream than have that lonely feeling stealing through the night Each little moment is clear before me And though it brings me regret It's easy to remember but so hard to forget
Hey there pals!
