Jerry Lewis talks about his career and friendship with Dean Martin
Interview at BU promotes his newly-released memoir
11.01.2005
By Beth Berlo
Fans ranging in age from 15 to 85 filled the School of Management auditorium Friday night for a rare opportunity to see and hear legendary comedian Jerry Lewis, who was in town promoting his newly-released memoir, Dean and Me: A Love Story.
Lewis appeared for an on-stage interview with Robin Young, host of WBUR’s Here and Now. At 77 pounds lighter, the man who has brought laughter to audiences for decades said he feels terrific.
Lewis has battled a host of health problems over the years and had gained considerable weight as a result of a drug he took for a lung ailment. The slapstick comic of “Hey Laaa-dy” fame will turn 80 in March. He took questions from the audience seriously, but kept them laughing as he playfully bantered with Young between answers. He even appeared sentimental at times, speaking openly about the importance of love and about his “inner nine-year-old.”
Lewis called Boston “a special place,” because it is where he first saw his name lit up on a marquee. The sign at Steuben’s Vienna Room read Jerry Lewis — Good Steaks, he said, laughing. What was supposed to be a 2-week stay stretched to 47. “I practically lived on Boylston Street,” he said.
Lewis talked candidly about his relationship with pal and longtime sidekick Dean Martin — a man-crush, he called it, referring to Martin as the most handsome man he ever knew. He recalled the first time they met, on the corner of Broadway and 54th Street in New York City, in 1946: Martin, hair slicked and wearing a camel-hair coat, appeared tan, and, Lewis said, “I just remember thinking, God, I wish he was my friend.”
Dean, the Italian crooner, and Lewis, often referred to as “the monkey,” began their smash partnership at Atlantic City’s 500 Club. Young recalled the reaction to the show: “They didn’t get laughs. It was pandemonium. They were knocking over tables.”
The two went on to collaborate on what many say was the best vaudeville act of all time and to make 16 films. But on July 25, 1956, 10 years to the day after they met, their professional relationship and their friendship ended, after a final gig at Manhattan’s famed Copacabana. Martin increasingly was being pushed into the background, while Lewis stole the spotlight. Tired of playing second fiddle, Martin went his own way, and the two did not speak for 20 years.
When they were reunited onstage by their friend Frank Sinatra during Lewis’ annual Labor Day muscular dystrophy telethon, Lewis remembered panicking, pleading to God for something clever to say. “So, you working?” Lewis asked. The audience loved it, but even after that, Lewis said, the two did not talk. It was the death of Martin’s son, Dino, that connected them again. Lewis said that Dean phoned to tell him that in his life there had been two men he had loved, one his son and the other Lewis.
Despite Martin’s reputation throughout his career for drinking heavily, Lewis insisted that it was always apple juice in the glass at the piano. It wasn’t until Dino died that “Dean let himself go,” he said, and became reclusive and alcoholic.
Martin died on Christmas Day 1995. Lewis said he “took on the press” for often slighting Martin while lauding Lewis throughout their partnership. “I told them who he was,” he said. “I told them if he wasn’t there, I would have been a record act and nothing else.”
Asked what Martin would have thought of the book, Lewis said, “He would have loved it. I gave him every bit of credit he deserved.”

Hey pallies, likes as we round out this momentous week in Dino-history when we reverently remember both the begginn's and the endin's of Martin and Lewis, we share one more touchin' and tender tribute to our most beloved Dino and his most beloved partner Mr. Jerry Lewis.

“Layyyyyy-deeee!” Did you know the comedy team of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis performed together for the first time on 25th in 1946 at a club in Atlantic City? Martin and Lewis also officially broke up on July 24th, 1956.
Hey pallies, likes 62 years 'go this very day, July 24, in 1956 our most beloved Dino had likes his hugest of hugest endin' and likes his newest of newest beginnin' when he called it quits with his partner, Mr. Jerry Lewis...exactly a decade after they had created the greatest comedy partnership in all of world history.
Likes it has becomes likes a touchin' 'n tender tradition on this hugely historic of historic Dino-day to revisit a reverent retellin' of what happened on that last night Martin and Lewis took the stage at the Copacabana....truly some deeply heart-felt and incredible insights 'bout our Dino and Mr. Lewis' last gig together shared at the blog "Frontier Net."
From the writings, "The Copacabana, An Illustrated History" by Kristin Baggleaar comes some deeply deeply devoted details of our Dino and Mr. Lewis' swan song. So, once 'gain, let's sit back and reflect on the meanin's of likes this most bitter-sweet day in all of Dino-history.
Likes as we often do on this day, 'gain likes gotta 'fess up pallies, likes for years we had zip, zero, nadda appreciato for Mr. Jerry Lewis whatsoever, and felt that the split-up was exactly what Lewis deserved. But, ever since readin' and rereadin' Lewis' tome "Dean and Me: A Love Story," we have greatly greatly grown in our ubber understandin' and awestruck appreciato of just how much Mr. Lewis loved, and still loves our most beloved Dino!
In fact, likes we once 'gain gotta 'fess up that we have become likes totally totally jealous of Mr. Lewis 'cause he got to spend 10 intimate and glorious years with the coolest person ever to walk the face of the earth...and got to know our Dino better then any other person alive ever has or ever will. What coulda be more wonderful then that! In fact, we remember in readin' in Tosches' outstandin' Dino-bio that Lewis was jealous of Jeanne and Jeanne was equally jealous of Lewis...and who could blame 'em...they each wanted our Dino for themselves...and don't we all likes feel likes that same Dino-way?!?!?!
Anyway, on this special Dino-day in Dino-history we remember the lovin' legacy that our Dino and Mr. Lewis had together, and see this endin' as a hugely important new beginnin' for our most beloved Dino. We are Dino-rememberin' with youse.
We remain,
Yours in Dino,

The Copacabana
An Illustrated History by Kristin Baggelaar
.
By summer 1956, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis officially announced that they were breaking up as a team; however, together they were committed to one last engagement at the Copacabana. Perhaps because it was the last time they would ever work together, Martin and Lewis' final two-week stand at the Copa did a record-breaking business.
The diminished floorshow space was a tribute to their draw and mass impact. The Doug Coudy production numbers were curtailed as the acts, including the personable dance team of Conn & Mann, were stage waits for the headliners. Martin & Lewis worked with smoothness and no apparent personal friction despite all the press about their rift, but some dissension was evident with their Pardners bit, a cafe trailer for their soon-to-be released Paramount film of the same name. To their professional credit they played it straight, with Lewis foiling for Martin's crooning, and likewise, Martin foiling for his partner's clowning. While both were well received, it was felt that solo or team, the impact was not as resounding as in the past until their final night. Every celebrity in Manhattan was in the audience to witness the pair's swan song of one of the greatest comedy acts in history. They pulled out every schtick in their comedy bag for the star-studded crowd, from squirting seltzer down Milton Berle's shirt front to cutting off Monte Proser's necktie. The sophisticated cafe crowd wouldn't let them quit.
The final moments of the last show of their farewell engagement at the Copa on a hot Tuesday night, July 24, 1956, are pressed indelibly in the minds of those who were present. Martin's face was impassable, cool to the end. They finished with the final crescendo from Pardners: "You and me, we'll be the greatest pardners, buddies, and pals!" They joined hands for a last bow. Martin hugged Lewis. The audience exploded in an emotional uproar. Jackie Gleason jumped up and grabbed the mike, wiped away a tear, and said, "Folks, this can't be allowed to happen." The audience roared its approval, but Martin & Lewis just shook their heads, no. It was over. There was no encore. Martin took one aisle away from the floor; Lewis took the other.
Hey pallies, likes today we are in for the most delightful of delight Dino-treats as ilovedinomartin shares guest Dino-devotion from our sister in Dino, Miss Always On Watch, AOW for short. ilovedinomartin's relationship began years 'go with her first postin' of potently powerful patter on our Dino-pad and we have been totally totally thrilled to offer guest posts as well as cool comments over the course of Dino-time. If you clicks on her tag in yellow below youse will be transported to her blogger home pad with links to her bloggin' efforts.
Likes Miss AOW's Dino-inspiration today centers on a youtube vid she "stumbled" 'cross of Mr. Michael Bublé speakin' with newsman Dan Rather on his AXS TV series "The Big Interview." Durin' the interview Michael, in the words of Miss AOW, " pays homage to and analyzes our Dino's style — among that of a few other master singers of popular genres." And, she follows this with sharin' wonderfully wise words from "Elvis Australia: Official Elvis Presley Fan Club" 'bout Mr. Presley's amazin'ly awesome adulation of our one and only Dino.
ilovedinomartin once 'gain swankly salutes deep Dino-devotee Miss AOW for sharin' her powerful passion for our Dino on the pages of ilovedinomartin. Thanks Miss AOW...we hope to share more of your outstandin' oratory a la Dino at our humble little Dino-pad in the days ahead!
As one who, back in the day (late 1960s), studied with the vocal coach of "Mama" Cass Elliot, I appreciate some of the analysis in the short video clip below because my coach had me study the singing styles of the masters, including Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin — particularly their breathing and diction techniques.
In Bublé's analysis of our Dino's singing style, he misses something which every diehard Dino fan knows: Elvis Presley, in several respects, created his singing style by imitating the singing style of the most excellent master of all: our Dino.
...When Elvis Presley was introduced to Dean Martin's daughter Deana, Elvis leaned in and said, 'They call me the King of Rock and Roll, but your dad is the King of Cool', recalls Deana Martin. 'I almost died', she said. 'It has to be true, Elvis Presley thinks my dad is the King of Cool'.
There is an explanation for all this, however, and it occurs in one of the more palatable of the Presley bios, Jerry Hopkins' Elvis, and the fact that Hopkins himself didn't jump on it instead of giving it a mere passing reference shows how brainwashed these writers were by their own propaganda.
The reason it was left in Hopkins' manuscript at all was probably because it represents one of the few accredited quotes from the one person most sources agree can legitimately lay claim to having 'discovered' Elvis, the office manager of Sam Phillips' Sun Records studio in Memphis, Marion Keisker, who tells of a not entirely successful first audition Presley had with Phillips. According to Marion, Sam asked Elvis to run through some of his repertoire, which seemed to lean so heavily on Dean Martin stuff, she thought Elvis had decided '...if he was going to sound like anybody, it was going to be Dean Martin'. Horror of horrors! Now this is just not cool, fellows, I hear the myth-makers say. Hopkins himself leaves this extraordinary snippet unexplored and other writers have given it a wide berth. It takes only the most casual research of this lead to unearth evidence on a par (for the rock world at least) with the Dead Sea Scrolls. All the more remarkable since the evidence has been there all along for anybody with eyes to see and ears to hear.
Around 1955, Dean Martin had a big hit, 'Memories Are Made Of This'. Do yourself a favor and check it out if you can find it. Then take another listen to the song Elvis always said was his favorite cut, 'Don't Be Cruel', a hit in the summer of the following year, 1956. Now, apart from the fact that Elvis borrowed that descending-bass-run-followed-by-guitar-chord ending from the arrangement on Martin's record, other common elements are that sexy, wobbly, almost hiccuping baritone vocal not yet identifiably 'rock' until Elvis made it so and Martin's novel use of a four-piece male gospel-type vocal group which we may assume helped inspire Elvis, steeped as he was in traditional gospel music, to introduce the Jordanaires on his cut, effectively integrating them into a unique blend with his own lead vocal, thus establishing another rock archetype. Another obvious nod in Martin's direction, released when Elvis was well established as a pop mega-star in the summer of 1959, was Elvis' 'My Wish Came True', which had an opening four-note motif identical to Martin's 'Return To Me', (both titles having four syllables!) released in April 1958. Even the key is the same. Dean Martin and Elvis Presley were moving in such divergent paths by this time that none of this was commented upon or even noticed at the time. And I suspect that Elvis wouldn't have given a rat's ass if it had been. Because shortly after this he was to step, unnoticed, totally out of the closet with his release of 'It's Now Or Never', an English-language version of the Italian favorite, 'O Sole Mio' - a rather staid choice, one might say, for our supposed enfant terrible of rockabilly. These three songs are even more compelling evidence of Martin's influence than Elvis' actual cover of Martin's 1950 ditty, 'I Don't Care If The Sun Don't Shine' in 1955.
Now, if it's so fashionable and cool to cite a black artist like Arthur Crudup, whose 'That's All Right, Mama' Elvis recorded, as a bona fide influence, then why not the former piece of stylistic plundering? Without wishing to minimize Crudup's contribution to Presley's fast maturing style, Martin's influence seems to be pretty much ignored as unfashionable and uncool. People are just seeing and hearing what they want to see and hear. Dare I suggest that the specter of such an artist as Martin so influencing their precious new savior was not to be countenanced by the rock religion's new priesthood?
For if we reevaluate Presley's early career in this new light we can see how many of those actions previously dismissed (or considered perverse when they could not be conveniently ignored) now fall into place quite neatly. You see, Elvis was naturally fair-haired. He dyed his hair black. (He appears as a 'dirty' blond in some early shots, his natural hair-tone already darkening through liberal applications of 'Nu-Nile'.)
Filmed later in Technicolor, Elvis' obsidian do had that same almost blue-black sheen you can see in Dean Martin's movies.
And Martin at the time of which we speak was the most bankable of matinee idols: he made hugely successful pop records; starred (with partner Jerry Lewis) in a series of low budget/high yield light comedy movies; could and did write his own ticket on the lucrative Las Vegas circuit; and (importantly for Elvis) had mucho sex appeal! (Is this starting to make a little sense?) Martin was a genuine heartthrob, and with his self-mocking approach to sexuality demonstrated to Elvis how to cash in on this most marketable of commodities with the brazenness of a male Mae West!
There are no less than seventeen references to Elvis in Nick Tosches 1992 'Dino' but for me the most telling is on page 394, when Elvis glimpses his hero in the audience during his show at the International in Vegas in January 1970. 'Seeing him at ringside, Elvis, elated sang 'Everybody Loves Somebody' in his honor'.
This is the same guy who worried about forgetting the lyrics to his own hits but was confident enough in remembering his idol's latest hit to give an impromptu performance of it!
Granted, Dean Martin was a comparative cultural and musical lightweight, but Elvis is not alone in music history in being able to combine incongruous influences into something world-shattering.
Some parallels would be the influence Anthony Newley had on the emergent David Bowie, and the effect Woody Guthrie and Rambling' Jack Elliott had on Bob Dylan.
Every great artist models himself on someone during his formative years. And, when he comes into his own will transcend his earlier influences. And we have now revealed enough points of symmetry between Dino and our fledgling Elvis to give us due pause.There were no rock'n'roll stars for Elvis to emulate - he was, after all, the first! And he was to go on and eclipse his mentor in every way.
I'm going to leave it at that for now? no sense in spoiling my case by overstating it! I am aware that I will now be considered a dangerous heretic by certain stalwarts of the true religion.
But from my point of view it's now up to those worthies to redress the balance, if they don't already have too much egg on their faces. The worst that could come out of this for me would be for there to be discovered a recording by Dean Martin of 'Hound Dog'.
I can't agree with every word of the above, though, because, as far as I'm concerned, our Dino eclipses Elvis Presley. Every time!
Welcome back, mi amici! Man! Can youse believe we is 'bout to jump into the windin' stretch of July already, pals?! These Summertime days seems to be sailin' by SO SO quickly!
