Who influenced Dean Martin's personality, humor, and musical style?


Robert Frost, Instructor and Flight Controller at NASA

Primarily two guys named Jack Daniels and Jim Beam.
Dean Martin said that his greatest influence came from Harry Mills of the Mills Brothers. It was one of his greatest joys to invite them to perform on his television variety show.


Al Jolson and Bing Crosby were also influences. Here’s Dean singing a Jolson medley with Bing.

If you’d like to learn more about Dean Martin, besides watching the many great videos of him available on Youtube, I recommend the book Dino: Living High in the Dirty Business of Dreams by Nick Tosches.
