What Happened to Dean Martin?

Hey pallies, likes deep deep Dino-palliedom is freely flowin' here at our humble little Dino-conclave.
Likes yester-Dino-day, our Dino-bro Danny-o put us on to delightful Dino-treasure accentin' just a ton of Dino-images, most also accentin' some of our Dino's tremendous teachin's ....likes powerfully pure Dino-gold in our humble opinion!  And, likes today we are greatly gifted by 'nother of our faithful Dino-devotees, our Dino-sis, Miss AOW, while patterin' on Monday's  Dino-gram put us on to a new Dino-vid addition at youtube.

Likes what Miss AOW put us on to is what she has tagged a "biosketch" tagged "What Happened to Dean Martin."  It's a production of Mr. Jerry Skinner's "On The Spot Films," and believe it or not, it has had over 106,000 in it's first 3 days up at youtube....likes how cool is that?!?!?!?!?  It is obvious that Mr. Skinner has done  remarkable research into the life and times of our most beloved Dino...not only into huge historical details, but also into the coolest of cool collection of pixs Skinner has put together to go 'long with his spoken words.

For those of us long in Dino, there are not to many Dino-details that we haven't heard before.  But, every so often Jerry shares a piece of Dino-history that we ain't ever heard before.  Case in point, we did not know that our Dino was so so supportive of Mr. Montgomery Clift, who he had starred with in "The Young Lions," that he insisted that Clift have a part in his first Matt Helm caper in 1966, "The Silencers."  However, Clift died before the filming began.

This is a lovin' look at our Dino's life, obviously done with complete care and well worth any Dino-holics time to watch.  We thanks our sister in Dino, Miss AOW, for sharin' this deep Dino-find with all us of here at ilovedinomartin.  We also sez our thanks to Mr. Jerry Skinner for this potent production sure to bring a terrific ton of new pallies into the Dino-fold.

We remain,

Yours in Dino,

Dino Martin Peters




What Happened to Dean Martin?
Jerry Skinner

Dino... didn’t only leave behind some great music, but some great words of wisdom as well.

Hey pallies, likes in an awesome  act of showin' deep deep  Dino-palliedom, our Dino-bro Danny-o of "Danny G.'s Sunday Serenade With Dino" fame, in not wantin' any of us to miss out on one powerfully potent post, this past weekend sent us a link to the pad "theCHIVE" where a delightful dude tagged  Hendy put together a prose 'n pose, exquisite expose of our most beloved Dino tagged "Dean Martin: Singer, Comedian, Legend (15 Photos)."

Likes it is obvious that Hendy "gets Martin."   This nouveau hipster's wisest of wise words in his intense introductory paragraph is marvelous music to any Dino-holic's eager ears...."Dean Martin had it all: A killer smile, a drink in his hand, all the women in the world swooning over him, and the ability to entertain the masses with absolute ease. He was a man who will forever be cemented in entertainment history as a true legend. Lucky for us, he didn’t only leave behind some great music, but some great words of wisdom as well."

We were absolutely awestruck by the last sentence of this powerful paragraph absolutely acknowledgin' our Dino's tremendous teachin's...as Hendy sez, "great words of wisdom."  And, so what follows are actually 17---count-'em---17 ( 2 more then stated)  incredible images of our Dino and of delightful Dino-gif, with most of 'em an 'mazin' mix of Dino-poses overlaid with our Dino's teachin's!

Likes most of the images and most of the quotations are ones that many of us Dino-philes are fantastically familiar with, but we're guessin' that a couple of each may be new to some Dino-devotees.  Of this luscious lot,  we're wonderin' which image, which teachin' brings youse the most Dino-delight?

We thanks our bestest of best pallie Danny-o for makin' certain that we didn't miss out on this great Dino-gram and we shouts our our awesome appreciato to Hendy for all his time and talent in sharin' his obvious devotion to our Dino with his readers at  "theChive."  To checks this out in it's original source, likes simply clicks on the tag of this Dino-gram.

.....a younger audience is going to be more interested in a Kendrick Lamar review than they would be a piece on the life and times of Dean Martin.

Hey pallies, likes we are always totally totally thrilled and have the most awesome appreciation for each and every time we find the name of our most beloved Dino bein' lifted up on the ol' world wide web.  And, likes we does tries to share the vast variety of wonderful ways that our Dino is remarkably referenced by bloggers scribin' on an ubber unendin' lists of topics.

Today we takes you to a powerful pad where the swank subjects of music and writin' are marvelously mixed together.  The blog is tagged "Learn to Music - Write about music, learn about writing (about music)," where a pallie tagged David holds forth.  Speakin' 'bout his pad, music journalism scriber David sez it is " part blog, part interactive course, all guided towards bringing out the music journalist in you.

Likes in one of David's recent posts tagged, "Writing for Your Audience," he referenced our one and only Dino as you will note below.  It's in a section of the blog post accentin' the importance of knowin' the age of the readers you are most addressin'.  While we are not totally totally in agreement with David's perspective, we do understand where he is comin' from.  Typically one would expect that our Dino's devotees would be older in age rather then younger 'cause his career spans the mid '40's to the end of the '80's.

But, over time we have been perfectly proud to share many many Dino-grams showin' just how many of today's youth are turnin' on to our Dino.  Most recently we had a true Deanager who tags themself "Mabel Ƥιηєѕ"  patter us sayin'  "I love Martin's music and ever since I stumbled upon this blog, I gotta say this blog is amazing. (And I'm only a teen.)"  When we quired her 'bout how she came to come into the Dino-fold she shared,  "Hi Sir, thank you for your kind comment. :)
I wanted to listen to several Christmas songs in December last year and for 'Let it snow', I fell in love with Dino's version. I decided to search up on Martin and started listening to some of his other songs.
It was that love for his cover of 'Let it snow' that started my obsession with the handsome Martin. I'm so glad I got to know this great guy. :)  Youse can find "Mabel's comments at the end of the post found  HERE.  Miss "Mabel" is simply one extraordinary example of a ton of today's youths whose Dino-devotion has been shared here at ilovedinomartin.

So, we sez our thanks to David for pickin' our most beloved Dino to reference in his blog post out of all the many and varied artists of our Dino's era.  We just know that his kind Dino-reference will be the startin' point for many pallies to join the throngs of  folks every day findin' there way to our Dino as Miss "Mabel" has.  And, likes we are most pleased to use today's Dino-gram to celebrate the huge huge numbers of today's nouveau hipsters who are followin' in the Dino-way.

Likes to read music journalism blogger David's post in total, simply clicks on the tag of this here Dino-message.

Yours in Dino,

Dino Martin Peters


(Here is an example of the Dino-creativity of a Deanager tagged Emily that was originally  shared in a Dino-gram on July 5, 2013 that you can view  HERE.)

Writing for Your Audience

These types of assumptions can also extend to your content; while it’s not 100% it’s still pretty likely that a younger audience is going to be more interested in a Kendrick Lamar review than they would be a piece on the life and times of Dean Martin. The opposite is also true; an older audience is less likely to care about modern Billboard chart analysis than they would about, say, an interview with Leslie West. These are assumptions, yes, but they’re fair assumptions to make.

From The Teachin's Of Our Most Beloved Dino

Hey pallies, likes today we are deeply deeply delighted to share with all youse Dino-holics one of our most beloved Dino's teachin's.  We found it at the tumblr pad tagged 'THE RAKE IN BRIEF," the superbly swankest of swank man's fashion image site 'round on the ol' 'net.

In doin' a little investigatin' of this stellar site, we found this extremely edifyin' thoughts 'bout what it means to be "The Rake:".....“The modern man longs for a cultured world of exquisite - yet unabashedly masculine- refinement. He longs for the world of The Rake.”  Powerfully pontificatin' further, we digs these stated qualities of "The Rake":

“Who is The Rake?” you ask.

He is classically elegant.
He is well groomed.
An erudite gentleman.
Courteous.
Enjoys the finer things in life.

Likes, to our way of thinkin' these qualities perfectly fit the swingin' style of our most beloved Dino, and thus we are not at all surprised to find one of his remarkably reflective thoughts posts at this pad.

Below is one of, what we consider to be, an incredible image of our coolly classic Dino.  Likes we believe this powerful pose of our Dino is taken from the 1964 Rat Pack big screen epic, "Robin And The Seven Hoods,"  with our Dino, dressed in tux, his ever present Kent cigarette in hand, obviously  deeply deep in thought.

And, the pallies at "THE RAKE IN BRIEF" have marvelously matched this powerfully potent pose with one of our Dino's truthful teachin's.  Likes our wise 'n wonderful Dino shares from the deepest of deep depth of his experiences these coolly crafted words, "“In regular clothes, I’m a nobody,” said Dean Martin. “In a tuxedo, I’m a star.”

We here at ilovedinomartin are always energetically eager to share more of the life and teachin's of our King of Cool, our Master of Hip, our Ruler of Randy with Dino-devotees of all types and stripes, all ages and stages and all of us desire to grow deeper and deeper in the way of our most beloved Dino!

Likes we shouts out our awesome appreciato to the pallies at "THE RAKE IN BRIEF" for coolly choosin' to draw deeply from wise words of our Dino to share with their remarkable readership and help many others to know, love, and honor our one and only Dino.  To checks this out in it's original source, likes simply clicks on the tag of this Dino-gram

So, likes we went on over to youtube to see what Dino-details we coulda uncover.  We found that the dino-devoted uploader of the Dino-vid that our Danny-o shared, "Deano Martin," had also swankly shared the ENTIRE EPISODE where our Dino crooned this happy happy song.  Turns out that the original airrin' of that stunnin' show as on November 23, 1972.  Likes we are proudly pleased to be able to share that entire episode with all youse Dino-holics below, sayin' our thankful thanks to "Deano Martin" for their faithfulness in sharin' so so many Dino-delights with all us Dino-philes.

I take advantage of my Soundcloud account to restore a little exposure to my old mixtapes including that devoted to Dean Martin. The others will follow, I'm doing all the uploader again. Good listening.

*

Some discs bought at the same garage in the suburbs (they had to make a local Rat Pack ...), beautiful pieces, it did not take much more to dedicate my new mixtape to one and the same artist.

Today Dean Martin, old memories of childhood of hilarity in front of his films with Jerry Lewis, a beautiful mouth of rital not clear and this playful voice to the possible.

I really enjoyed crafting it.

Ladies and gentleman, please take care of yourself

 Je profite de mon compte Soundcloud pour redonner un peu d'exposition à mes anciennes mixtapes dont celle ci consacrée à Dean Martin. Les autres suivront, je suis entrain de toutes les uploader à nouveau. Bonne écoute.

*

Quelques disques achetés au même vide-grenier en banlieue (ils ont du se faire un Rat Pack local…), des morceaux magnifiques, il ne m’en a pas fallu beaucoup plus pour consacrer ma nouvelle mixtape à un seul et même artiste.

Aujourd’hui Dean Martin, des vieux souvenirs d’enfance d’hilarité devant ses films avec Jerry Lewis, une belle gueule de rital pas nette et cette voix espiègle au possible.

J’ai réellement pris un plaisir fou à l’élaborer.

Ladies and gentleman, please take care of yourself

Dean Martin And Jerry Lewis: Old-School And OTR

Hey pallies, likes we've been featurin' quite the number of Dino and Jerry posts as of late, and today we continue with a post that has been in draft format since we located it back in 2013.  Truth be told pallies, we currently have over 1400---count 'em---1400 draft posts....that's 'nough Dino-grams for several years even if we never ever found new Dino-devotion that we continue to uncover almost daily.

That said, today's Dino-message comes from the blog "Mr. Blog's Tepid Ride," and is tagged, "Dean Martin And Jerry Lewis: Old-School And OTR (Old Time Radio).  We begin by givin' you an 'lert that this particular post contains a number of errors in the tellin' of the story of our most beloved Dino and his most beloved partner, Mr. Jerry's Lewis relationship.  Likes, we invite you to read this through and see how many glarin' errors it contains...and through patter to let's us know what they are.

Also, this particular blogger clearly does not get the coolest of cool chemistry that our Dino and Mr. Lewis had in both their personal and professional lives as the greatest comedic team ever to walk the earth.  But, we guess, everyone is entitled to their Dino-opinion even when they can't get their Dino-facts straight.  Likes the one great thin' 'bout this post is at the end it includes a link to the 'net pad "Relic Radio" that includes a podcast  of the November 4, 1949 edition of The Martin And Lewis Show where our Dino and Mr. Lewis Try To Report A Murder.

Dean Martin And Jerry Lewis: Old-School And OTR


June 6, 2013

Now: Dean Martin, booze-hound member of The Rat Pack, world-famous crooner, deceased.
Then: Up and coming singer performing in small clubs, still developing his style.

Now: Jerry Lewis, icon to the French, former longtime host of the Muscular Dystrophy Telethon, movie star.
Then: Up and coming comic performing in small clubs, still developing his style.



In the era of radio, with movies and Las Vegas far in their futures, Martin and Lewis had gone about as far as their careers were going to go. Martin back then was good but not great. Lewis’ act seemed to have reached a peak. Working separately, and in fact not even knowing each other, they were finding it harder and harder to find bookings. So one day, a nightclub owner decided to put together his two weak acts and see what they could come up with. That night, after just having met, they totally improvised an act that set the crowds to laughter and so a team was born.

In my mind, a weak team. I realize that they were an amazing popular radio act, lasting from 1949 to 1953. On the surface they were an Abbott and Costello style act: smooth straight man and childlike jokester. The problem was, Abbott and Costello had refined their act until they were a well oiled machine, doing classic and time tested vaudeville acts while Martin and Lewis were tossed together out of the blue. I always found their shows an uncomfortable fit.



Even the cover of this comic knows they are a strange fit.

Often, shows would simply be Martin as an emcee, introducing guests and singing, while being interrupted by Lewis doing some kind of manic-moron act. Other times they would be thrust into some sitcom-like skit that served neither well as Martin was always apologizing for his sidekick, whom he invariably called a moron. So why were they together?

Their styles never meshed. Martin didn’t fit into Lewis’ style of wackiness and Lewis’ attempts to fit into Martin’s suave milieu were generally uncomfortable failures. In many shows,  it seemed as if Jerry Lewis was simply there to (badly) croon parodies of Dean Martin songs. (Ironically, it would be Lewis’ impersonation of Martin that propelled The Nutty Professor to huge box office numbers years later.)

But despite what I see as an awkward and ill-fitting pairing, the team did well, moving from TV to movies and always finding success. Eventually, as with Abbott and Costello, the Beatles, and the Soviet Union, they broke up. And is it an accident that after the break-up each went on to greater heights? Dean Martin found fame and fortune alongside Frank Sinatra on the Las Vegas stage, while Jerry Lewis continued to make movies and become a comedy icon. (For my money, The King of Comedy is his greatest role.)

So if there is a moral here I leave it for you to find. All I see is that you can never predict success. And a lot of people like Martin and Lewis more than I do. (One person who hates them both is Sammy Petrillo, but that is a blog for another time.)

Yesterday in Dino-history: April 16, 1964

Hey pallies, likes yesterday was yet 'nother extremely important date in the life and times of our most beloved Dino. Likes thanks to a dude tagged "Rocketman5000" at "Inside the Rock Era" we got word that it was on the delightful Dino-day, April 16, 1964 that our great man recorded his coolest cool  croon ever...."Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime."

"Everybody Loves Somebody," a song co-written in 1947 by his pianist/accompanist Ken Lane. It 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.  Likes when it hit numero uno on the Billboard charts, our most beloved Dino knocked the Beatles off the charts, provin' once and for all that only our mighty mighty Dino coulda bust the Beatles!

 ilovedinomartin sez our thanks to "Rocketman5000" at "Inside the Rock Era" for bringin' this Dino-date to our attention so that we coulda shares it will all youse Dino-holics.  To view this in it's original format, likes just clicks on the tag of this here Dino-gram.

Making funeral arrangements for Dean Martin.

Hey pallies, likes we just never know where our most beloved Dino is goin' to turn up next and what the cool context will be.  Likes as we were doin' our almost daily Dino-searchin' via our pallies at Twingly Advanced Blog Search, we happily happened 'pon a ubber unique, terrific tumblr site tagged, "ClickHole - Because all content deserves to go viral."

Likes, it appears to be a remarkably random hangout and we were proudly pleased to see the name of our Dino bein' lovin'ly lifted up there.  The particular post is tagged "16 Chores That Every ’90s Kid Had To Do," and it is a boutifully beautifully bizarre list of happenin's related to the decade of the 90's.  Likes, smack dab in the middle of the list, at numbero 8 is the chore: "Making funeral arrangements for Dean Martin."

Indeed our King of Cool died on December 25, 1995, so it qualifies as a task that woulda need to be done, and how blessed coulda a '90's Deanager have been then to honor our Dino my bein' proudly privileged to make his sendin' off arrangements?!?!?!?!  Likes, in fact, it sounds like a incredibly intriguin' amazin' assigment for a Dino-phile of any age to take on.  For example pallies, likes which of our Dino's hundreds of tunes woulda youse want to play at Dino's funeral?

We thanks the pallie or pallies who hold court at "ClickHole" for includin' this most important Dino-event of the '90's in this particular post and surely raisin' the cool curiosity of many of their readership to learn 'bout our one and only Dino.   To checks this out in it's original source, and to read the other 15 thin's on the chore list, simply clicks on the tag of this Dino-gram.
