Hey pallies, likes today's Dino-gram qualifies as a Dino-wintry post 'cause it accents our Dino's croonin' of what may be his most amorin' wintry croon "Baby It's Cold Outside." From the podcast blog "I Probably Shouldn't Say This, BUT," comes "veteran comedy team of John Bateman and Matt Steffich" randiest of randy ruminations on "Baby."
Likes in the words of Bateman and Steffich we're invited to "get loose and listen in on the unrehearsed, unbridled and often unfortunate verbal articulations that probably shouldn't be said...."
In part tres of show numero eleven the boys let loose on our darin' Dino beginnin' at 'bout 38:00. In their own words John and Matt sez, "we destroy a Christmas classic as we expose Dean Martin as the dirty old man he has always been so proud of being."
The guys begin their antics with Steffich tellin' a Dino-tale of how at 3 a.m. on December 25, 1995 (the day of our Dino's departure from our earth) he and his bro and his bro's pallie, who had had a lot of liquid libations tried to find our Dino's telephone number to call him, to no avail.....and then discovered later in the day that our Dino had died. Matt even tells us that one of 'em z(either his bro or his bro's pallie) loved our Dino so much that they tagged their boypallie Dean! They follow this with crazy cool commentary on the lush lyrics of "Baby It's Cold Outside"....playin' sorta a play by play of the action..... a bit of the croon followed by their randy reflections. Likes you gotta listen to this dudes to get the full flavor of their comedic commentary.
We ain't able to copy the podcast, put likes it you clicks on the tag of this Dino-message and begin at 38 minutes you'll join in on the fun.

Here is Show #11 of I Probably Shouldn’t Say This, But. In part three, we destroy a Christmas classic as we expose Dean Martin as the dirty old man he has always been so proud of being.
Hey pallies, likes we gotta 'fess up that often we wonders how we can top a Dino-gram likes yesterday's potently powerful post on "Mad Matt" mixin' classic Dino-moments from "The Silencers" with parts of the recent soundtrack from "Mad Max: Fury Road." Well, likes we thinks we have found 'nother cooler then cool post that is goin' to gets you psyched up for our most beloved Dino just likes yester-Dino-day.
From the most interestin'ly imbibin' blog "The Potable Curmudgeon - The simple pleasures of beering locally," come a dude who tags himself "The New Albanian" ('cause he's from New Albany, Indiana) Dino-gram, "Dean Martin and Foster Brooks, 45 years ago." "The New Albanian" profile tells us that his industry is "education" and his occupation is "Publican & polemicist." He is well qualified to speak on the subject of imbibin' 'cause he is the "owner of a microbrewery and specialty beer bar/pizzeria in the Louisville metro area."
Likes we knows this dude has good taste not only in his drinkin' preferences, but also in his selection of a Dino vid clip. This guy who we believe is named Roger (referenced in the post) shares that most classic of classic moment from the Dino-show where our great man and Mr. Foster Brooks (as the drunk airline pilot) trade quintessential quips when sittin' at a bar together.
As mucho as we digs this vid dudes, what really is gettin' us all psyched up is that Roger makes this profoundly provocative point pontificatin': "Yes, it is possible to chart the entire 20th-century history of American pop culture, and a good deal of non-pop culture history, through an examination of the life of entertainer Dean Martin."
Likes to prove his point he shares a quotation from some powerful prose scribed in 1992 by Miss Karen Schoemer for the New York Times. That awesome article is tagged "ON THE POP CULTURE TRAIL WITH; Being Boswell to Dean Martin" and features wondrous wise words from Dino-biographer Mr. Nick Tosches, who bestest of best bio was first published in '92. It's some of the most swankly sensational scribin's that we have ever read....and somethin' that we had never run 'cross before in all our Dino-searchin'!
This is primo prose dudes and all youse Dino-holics can read it for yourself by click on the link that Roger offers. We certainly plans to return to this magnificant material sometime soon and drink deeply on Tosches reverently remarkable reflections! We wanna sez our thanks to Roger, "The New Albanian" for puttin' us on to this deepest of deep devotion to our Dino, and we salute him for his New Year's Resolution..... "2016 is the year for me to re-read Dino: Living High in the Dirty Business of Dreams, a biography of Dean Martin, written by Nick Tosches." We are goin' to resolve that as Dino-well!

Dean Martin and Foster Brooks, 45 years ago.
It's Dean Martin, Ken Lane and Foster Brooks in "The Bar/Airline Pilot" (circa 1969). The sheer political incorrectness of this skit is fascinating. Smoking, drinking and howling at the idea of intoxicated airline pilots? These days, it would be grounds for a boycott and Facebook meme.
Why would Roger even go there? There are five reasons.
It's funny.
Foster Brooks was a Louisvillian (Cactus Tom's brother, in fact).
Brooks wasn't a drinker in real life, and he played one dead sober.
I thought about Brooks over the holidays while seated near an actual drunkard at a local bar.
2016 is the year for me to re-read Dino: Living High in the Dirty Business of Dreams, a biography of Dean Martin, written by Nick Tosches.
Yes, it is possible to chart the entire 20th-century history of American pop culture, and a good deal of non-pop culture history, through an examination of the life of entertainer Dean Martin.
... "I would describe Dean as a noble character in an ignoble racket in an ignoble age," (Tosches) said. "He made out his role in American culture, and American culture itself, as basically a racket. In his own way he seemed to be a man who lived by a code. Whether or not that code was light or dark, he seemed to live by it. He seemed to possess a certain honesty that's very rare. And he managed to keep the world at bay, and not interfere with the business of his being, whatever that was."
Hey pallies, likes what's happenin' dudes? Likes have got one on the coolest, hippest, and randiest
beau-ti-ful bits of Dino-devotion ever! From the new-to-ilovedinomartin fantastic "EGOTASTIC" blog comes the swingin'est of swingin' post "DEAN MARTIN STARS IN "MAD MATT" by Mr. Michael Gracia. Likes 'pon readin' just the first sentence of Mr. Garcia's swank scribin' we just knew this dude totally totally "gets Martin": "Dean Martin was one of the coolest mofos to ever don a tux and drink scotch."
Likes we gotta 'fess up that we proudly prides ourselves in bein' what we would call Dino-purists...wantin' our Dino straight up....not much interested in those who try to improve on what we consider the perfectly perfect way that our perfectly perfect Dino croons a tune, cracks a joke of sez his lines in a scene from a flick. BUT, today's Dino-gram proves that sometimes, yes sometimes the way that our Dino makes the scene can be enhanced by today's tremendous technology and some cool cool creativity a la Dino!
What our devoted-to-Dino pallie Michael shares is a youtube vid clip matchin' up the car chase scene from our Dino's first Matt Helm caper, "The Silencers" where Dino and Stella Stevens are in his drink-mobile station wagon goin' south and gettin' pursued by the Big O baddies with the soundtrack from "Mad Max: Fury Road." Likes you gotta watch this dudes 'cause it truly is a beau-ti-ful blast of pure pure Dino-fun! In the words of our new pallie Michael..."Some films could use a little updating. Especially if it involves post-apocalyptic car chases. And booze. Lots of booze."
Likes we sends out our awesome appreciato to Mr. Michael Garcia and all the pallies at "EGOTASTIC" for bringin' this bright bit of Dino-delight to our Dino-attention. We also sez our thanks to the folks at "Table Tales" who put it up on youtube. Enjoys our most beloved Dino as "Mad Matt."

DEAN MARTIN STARS IN "MAD MATT"
MICHAEL GARCIA JAN 6, 2016
Dean Martin was one of the coolest mofos to ever don a tux and drink scotch. He was always my favorite member of the Rat Pack. On top of being a great singer and an excellent drinker, he was also a pretty talented comic actor. In the late 60's he made several spy spoof movies playing a character called Matt Helm. At the beginning of the scene he and the girl he's with are openly drinking while driving. That in and of itself makes this worth watching. But then the subsequent car chase was cut to the soundtrack from Mad Max: Fury Road and it all kind of makes sense.
Some films could use a little updating. Especially if it involves post-apocalyptic car chases. And booze. Lots of booze.
Hey pallies, likes we do intend to gets back to more swank sharin' of awesome adulation from the 20th anniversary remembrance of our Dino's departure from our planet, but we kinda keeps findin' just a ton of fun other Dino-devotion that we can't wait to share with all youse Dino-holics.

A Priest from away
Published on January 15, 2016
NORTH MILTON - It can sometimes be tough to find your way, especially if you're in P.E.I. and "from away."
At least, that's the case in the play "Some Neighbours: Episode 3 - A Priest From Away" being held in Milton Community Hall this month.
The comedic play follows an Anglican priest who moves to P.E.I. and bears a striking resemblance to Dean Martin.
Ken Williams, who wrote and directed the play with David Hooper, said it largely revolves around meetings with the quirky neighbours intertwined with the priest's predicament.
What follows is a series of humorous mishaps and confusion.
"It could be any community we just happened to use Milton. There's a priest whose asked to come in and the poor soul looks a lot like Dean Martin, so instead of seeing him as the new clergyman they see him as Dean Martin," said Williams. "People remind him that he's from away, he can't find members of his congregation and he can't find the church. He's having a lot of trouble."
One funny storyline involves a recently-widowed Martin fan who takes an interest in the priest.
"She figures her prayers have been answered when this man shows up," said Williams. "So we have all these conflicts within the play, a little bit of music and some comedy."

Montgomery Clift and Dean Martin in the Movie 'The Young Lions' 1958
The Young Lions is a 1958 American CinemaScope war drama film directed by Edward Dmytryk, based upon the 1948 novel of the same name by Irwin Shaw, and starring Marlon Brando, Montgomery Clift, and Dean Martin. The film became a box-office success and was the key to Martin's comeback in the wake of his split with partner Jerry Lewis. Tony Randall originally had Martin's role but talent agency MCA insisted that Martin replace Randall so they'd have "a quadruple threat" (an audience from four sectors): night clubs, recordings, television, and movies. Martin ended up getting splendid reviews and launched a very successful solo career as an actor. This was the only film (aside from home movies) that Brando and Clift made together. However, they don't share any scenes together (aside from Martin and Clift standing over Brando's character who is dead). The picture was produced by Al Lichtman and was nominated for a BAFTA Award for Best Film and three Academy Awards for Best Cinematography, Best Sound (Carlton W. Faulkner) and Best Music in 1959.

Hey pallies, likes welcome back to our second stop in Spain for more delightful devotion to our most beloved Dino on this 20th anniversary of his departure from our midst on December 25, 1995. Today we meet with the blog tagged "Lazoz Telurica," which translates to "The Earth Voice," where a dude who tags themself "Roco Allstar" has shared some potent patter "Dean Martin - A Marshmallow World (1966)."
Likes, faithful fellow Dino-holics here at ilovedinomartin knows that we are particularly partial to this particular Dino-wintery croon, and Roco accents a ver-si-on from the Dino-show with our main man singin' it "accompanied by two beautiful santa claus" babes. It's our Dino in his terrific tux with ever present Kent smoke in hand.....of course, not takin' the words (or the world) too seriously We absolutely digs what our Dino sez at the end of the croon...."Oh, that kid's voice spreads good cheer.
I bet there is tinsel hangin' from his tonsils."
That's our marvelously magic Dino for you, as Roco sez it so so well "The song in this case was not important, because what really matters here is the artist and especially the time of year, and in the case that concerns us too kitsch this video hoot sympathetic villain." We salutes "Roco Allstar" and all the folks at "The Earth Voice" for this deeply delightful swanky salute to our one and only Dino and their efforts to spread delightful Dino-cheer to all their readership.

[Classic Telúrico] Dean Martin - A Marshmallow World (1966)
There are days when listening carols is a must and we should not give it any qualms with the great Dino, Sinatra or other large, that the Christmas compilation sung by children and drilled us enough to go into any supermarket.
The song in this case was not important, because what really matters here is the artist and especially the time of year, and in the case that concerns us too kitsch this video hoot sympathetic villain.
Accompanied by two beautiful santa claus, gives us a carol with his powerful and haunting voice, and also put his hand in the fire that took more than a drink over their movements and smile.
With this only I can only say to all the earthquakes that happen these days of celebrations the best and happiest possible that craps will always be present, and if little lights can draw us a smile even if not win, you better take advantage . Merry Christmas !!!.
[Clásico Telúrico] Dean Martin - A Marshmallow World (1966)
Son días en que escuchar villancicos es casi una obligación y no nos debe dar ningún reparo que sea con el gran Dino, con Sinatra u otros grandes, que los recopilatorios navideños cantados por niños ya nos taladran suficiente al entrar en cualquier supermercado.
La canción en este caso era lo de menos, ya que aquí lo que importa realmente es el artista y sobre todo la época del año, y en el caso que nos ocupa también el puntazo kitsch del vídeo de este simpático canalla.
Acompañado de dos bellas santa claus, nos regala un villancico con su potente y embrujadora voz, y que además pondría la mano en el fuego que llevaba más de una copa encima por sus movimientos y su sonrisa.
Con esto solamente me queda decir a todos los telúricos que pasen estos días de fiestas lo mejor y más felices posible, que para las mierdas siempre habrá momentos, y que si unas lucecitas nos pueden dibujar una sonrisa aunque no hayan ganas, que mejor que aprovecharlo. Merry Christmas!!!.
Hey pallies, likes from the Republic of Kosovo we lands in Spain this very Dino-day, where we share the first of 3---count 'em---3 Dino-grams from three different Spanish blogs. Up first is a most marvelous homagin' of our Dino from the blog "La Vanguardia," which translates "The Vanguard." Scribed by Miss Astrid Meseguer, editor of "La Vanguardia" since 1997, she hails from Barcelona where she earned her " Degree in Information Sciences from the Autonomous University of Barcelona and Master in Film Criticism by the Observatorio de Cine."
Miss Meseguer's superbly scribed, poignant prose is tagged "Twenty years without the 'holiday' Dino voice." Likes, of course, we totally loves the al-b-um image that Astrid chose to highlight her touchin' and tender thoughts.... the dreamy dreamy "Dream With Dean" pose with our most beloved Dino, ever present Kent cigarette in hand, sittin' by the fireplace warmin' himself...and ponderin' only who knows what.
A note: the translation of the words 'cross the pix is "5 unforgettable christmas DINO." Our fav teachable thoughts from Miss Meseguer includes this remarkable reflection on our Dino's persona..." Dean Martin was a man of great charisma, a gallant rogue, stylish, womanizing, party animal and a seducer of overwhelming personality that you will know not enemies." We believes she is Dino-spot on with her thoughts.
We were not able to copy the vid clip of our Dino's croonin' of "Let It Snow," but we were able to share the link so that you can enjoy this bestest of best Dino-wintery croon.

Twenty years without the 'holiday' Dino voice
Emphysema killed Dean Martin on December 25, 1995
Twenty years without the 'holiday' Dino voice Compilation of songs stop these fehcas essential to remember the 20th anniversary of his death (Writing - LV)
ASTRID MESEGUER , Barcelona 12/24/2015 23:00 | Updated 12/25/2015 14:35
Dean Martin was one of the great American artists of all time. This is reflected in its three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his career in film, television and music. He recorded more than one hundred albums and scored hit songs that today still remain, especially his interpretations of Christmas classics.
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. During his teenage years he held various jobs and made some forays into the world of boxing with the pseudonym of 'Kid Crocetti', but in the circuit of the nightclubs where he eventually achieved professional success as a singer and comedian.
He noted for his warm baritone and sympathy wherever he went. Her gallant figure incorrigible fan, snuff and alcohol, you easily granjeaba the affection of viewers and the special admiration of the female audience. Dean Martin was a man of great charisma, a gallant rogue, stylish, womanizing, party animal and a seducer of overwhelming personality that you will know not enemies. In the film he starred in over sixty films and left us memorable films like Rio Bravo, Kissing a Fool or The Young Lions. His characters used to distill an air between naïve, cheeky and funny that fit him like a glove and did not mind appearing in bad movies so that the atmosphere of the shooting was fun.
An unstable love life and alcohol hurt in recent years whose career had been the best paid artist in history. He married four times and had eight children. Those who knew him used to comment that it was a very nice and warm person, yet distant and lonely. Famous was his custom to organize parties at home and isolated in a room little time to welcome guests to sit and watch a western, a film genre he adored.
The death of his son Dino Jr. in a plane crash in 1987 embittered character and plunged him into a deep depression from which he never failed to recover. Paradoxes of life, the man sounded cheerful for the holidays in the homes of everyone whose music, said a goodbye December 25, 1995 at his home in Beverly Hills as a result of emphysema produced his advanced lung cancer . He was 78.
As a tribute to this incomparable showman rescued five most popular Christmas songs and let us delight you once again for his melodic and romantic voice.

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.

Dean Martin, njeriu që këndoi e vdiq për Krishtlindje
dean martin 16:42, 24 Dhjetor 2015
Këngëtari i njohur Dean Martin, ka vdekur më 25 dhjetor të vitit 1995, pra në ditën e Krishtlindjeve.
Martin kishte 40 top 10 këngë në mes të viteve 1950 dhe 1969, tre prej të cilave –That’s Amore, Memories are Made of This dhe Everybody Loves Somebody – u shitën me miliona kopje.
Dean Martin kishte lindur më 17 qershor të vitit 1917 në Steubenville të Ohios, transmeton Klan Kosova.
Ai ishte djal i një emigranti italian që ishte berber me profesion, e Martin në rininë e tij filloi të punojë në një fabrikë të çelikut, dhe me kërkesë të miqve të tij ai filloi në fundjavë të këndojë në klubet e qytetit të tij.
Kur ishte 21 vjeçar teksa po këndonte në një lokal, atë e vuri re Sammy Watkins që ishte lider i një grupi xhez, që u surpriza nga mënyra e tij e të kënduarit.
Në atë kohë Dean Martin, po e quante veten si Dino Martini (sipas një ylli të operas italiane, Nino Martni), por Watkins i vuri atij emrin artistik Dean Martin.
Që nga ai moment një legjendë e muzikës kishte lindur.
Pavarësisht që ai bëri bujë, Martin kishte shumë dyshime për talentin dhe aftësitë e tij.
“Dean asnjëherë nuk mund të këndonte dhe të ishte i sigurt se sa shumë vlen ai. Ai nuk kishte fare vetëbesim”, u shpreh partneri i tij, Jerry Lewis.
Martin madje e kishte deklaruar publikisht se ka shumë pak besim në veten si këngëtar.
E po ndoshta, pikërisht kjo gjë e ka bërë të veçantë këtë njeri.
Gjithashtu Martin, ishte shumë i mirë edhe në aktrim, ai madje ishte niminuar për Oscar në filmin e vitit 1959, Who Was That Lady? – por edhe pas kësaj ai vazhdoi të mbetej një njeri i famshëm por shumë ngurrues, edhe pse në vitet e gjashtëdhjeta ai ishte amerikani më i paguar.
The Dean Martin Show, ishte emisioni më i pagur në vitet 1965 dhe 1966, për të cilën ai paguhej 283 mijë euro për një episod.
Për publikun Martin ishte një njeri shumë elegant, por për miqtë e tij të mirë karakteri i Martin ishte shumë i vështirë.
Mirëpo fëmijët e tij janë të lumtur me kujtimet që babai i tij u ka lëne dhe sipas tyre ai ua ka mbushur jetën me humor.
Kurse për të gjithë fansat e tij, Dean Martin mbetet i mrekullueshëm e zëri i tij i përcjellë për çdo Krishtlindje.
Martin që e ka fituar çmimin për arritje jetësore në Grammy në vitin 2009 e ka një zë perfekt për këngë festive.
Kënga e tij Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow, është këngë klasike për borën.
Martin ishte 78 vjeçar kur ndërroi jetë më 25 dhjetor 1995 në shtëpinë e tij në Beverly Hills.
Shumë persona ditën kur ai ka vdekur e shikojnë si “të destinuar”
Pra faktin që një njeri zëri i të cilët na përcjell gjithmonë për festat e fundvitit vdes pikërisht në ditën e Krishtlindjeve.
“Fakti që Dean Martin vdiq në ditën e Krishtlindjeve është saktësisht si një humor i zi që do e bënte vetë ai. Mua nuk më besohej derisa dëgjova se të gjtihë kazionot në Las Vegas kishin fikur dritat për një minutë për nder të tij. Pastaj, më dukej sikur po dëgjoja Dean duke thënë ‘Një minutë të tërë? Pra pasna qenë një njeri i rëndësishëm”, u shpreh regjisori Peter Bogdanovich.
Sigurisht që ai ishte një njeri i rëndësishëm. Ai ishte mbreti i këngëve festive.
Më poshtë mund ta dëgjoni këngët e Martin për Krishtlindje, këngë që me patjetër kanë lënë gjurmë në botën e muzikës.

Dean Martin (1917-1995)
Today is twenty years ago that the US "crooner" Dean Martin is deceased.
'Crooner' is a word that is hardly used.The English word 'croon' actually means 'hum'.A 'crooner' is a man who sings in a relaxed, intimate position with a soft, low voice (usually) love songs.More enlightening than the definition are the examples: Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Perry Como, Pat Boone, Tony Bennett, Andy Williams ... Frank Sinatra is known as a so-called hard-crooner.His buddy Dean Martin remained an example of a softcrooner "I just copieer Bing Crosby one hundred percent," he says.
Dino Crocetti alias Dean Martin (° Steubenville, Ohio, 06/07/1917) descended from an Italian-American family.His Italian roots still hear his hits That's amore, Return to me or Volare.He left school at age 16 and moved in 1937 to California.He had several jobs (boxer, metal worker card magician, gas station worker), before he changed his name and had success as a singer in the night clubs of New York.In 1946 he began his collaboration with the comedian Jerry Lewis.They jointly developed a successful comedy routine and were among the top of Hollywood.They played skits on TV, had his own radio show and joined in 1949 also working in films, 16 in total.Their partnership ended in discord in 1956. To everyone's surprise Dean Martin then had a successful solo career.In the 60s he was a member of the Rat Pack, the infamous club of friends with Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis jr. And Peter Lawford, with whom he made popular movies.Close friends were John Wayne and Gary Cooper.
Dean Martin is not well known among the younger generations, but for the older he stands in the landscape of popular music as a protected monument.He became immortal through his hits-evergreens from the 50s: Kiss, Memories are made of this, Sway ... In 1964 he made an impressive comeback with Everybody loves somebody, The door is still open to my heart, Send Me the Pillow That you dream on others - all sung in his own distinctive and effortless, warm Italo-American style.
He played secret agent Matt Helm in four films, but when his vocal talent was already in perspective (cfr. The statement about Bing Crosby), than he does about his acting talent very modest.Then he presented a weekly basis between 1965 and 1984 his own show on NBC, one of the most successful programs in American television history.His declining health and popularity meant that he only did theater work from the 70s.After his son in 1987 in a plane crash to had died and he became the next year was unwell during a tour, he put an end to his career.
Dean Martin, who starred in 51 films, has three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, for his record recordings, films and TV work.According to the "legend" he was a big drinker, but his biographers (and his family) speak emphatically against it.He was married three times and has eight children, who adopted one.
Since 1993 he suffered from terminal cancer (not coincidentally lung and kidney). When the surgeons suggested to cut away the affected organs, he pointed out to the generous offer to return home "to have a beer." He has two more years to enjoy it, because he's only on Christmas Day 1995 deceased at the age of 78.On his tombstone is' Everybody loves somebody sometime. "
Dean Martin (1917-1995)
Het is vandaag twintig jaar geleden dat de Amerikaanse “crooner” Dean Martin is overleden.
‘Crooner’ is een woord dat nog nauwelijks gebruikt wordt. Het Engelse woord ‘croon’ betekent eigenlijk ‘neuriën’. Een ‘crooner’ is een man die in een ontspannen, intieme houding met een zachte, lage stem (in de regel) liefdesliedjes zingt. Meer verhelderend dan de definitie zijn de voorbeelden: Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Perry Como, Pat Boone, Tony Bennett, Andy Williams… Frank Sinatra staat gekend als een zogenaamde hard-crooner. Zijn maatje Dean Martin bleef echter een voorbeeld van een softcrooner:“Ik copieer gewoon Bing Crosby voor de volle honderd procent,” zegt hij.
Dino Crocetti alias Dean Martin (°Steubenville, Ohio, 7/6/1917) stamde uit een Italiaans-Amerikaanse familie. Zijn Italiaanse roots nog horen in zijn hits That’s amore, Return to me of Volare. Hij verliet de school op 16-jarige leeftijd en verhuisde in 1937 naar Californië. Hij had verschillende jobs (bokser, metaalbewerker, kaartgoochelaar, tankstationarbeider), alvorens hij zijn naam veranderde en succes kreeg als zanger in de nachtclubs van New York. In 1946 begon zijn samenwerking met de komiek Jerry Lewis. Ze ontwikkelden samen een succesvolle komedieroutine en behoorden tot de top van Hollywood. Zij speelden sketches op TV, hadden een eigen radioshow en traden van in 1949 ook samen op in films, 16 in totaal. Hun samenwerking eindigde in onenigheid in 1956. Tot veler verrassing had Dean Martin daarna een succesvolle solocarrière. In de jaren ‘60 was hij lid van de Rat Pack, de beruchte vriendenclub met Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis jr. en Peter Lawford, met wie hij populaire films maakte. Dichte vrienden waren ook John Wayne en Gary Cooper.
Dean Martin is minder gekend bij de jongere generaties, maar voor de oudere staat hij in het landschap van de lichte muziek als een beschermd monument. Hij werd onsterfelijk door zijn hits-evergreens uit de jaren ’50: Kiss, Memories are made of this, Sway… In 1964 maakte hij een indrukwekkende comeback met Everybody loves somebody, The door is still open to my heart, Send me the pillow that you dream on e.a. – alle gezongen in de hem eigen herkenbare, moeiteloze, warme Italo-Amerikaanse stijl.
Hij speelde geheim agent Matt Helm in vier films, maar als hij zijn zangtalent al goed kon relativeren (cfr. de uitspraak over Bing Crosby), dan doet hij ook over zijn acteertalent zeer bescheiden. Daarna presenteerde hij tussen 1965 en 1984 wekelijks zijn eigen show op NBC, één van de succesrijkste programma’s in de Amerikaanse tv-geschiedenis. Zijn teruglopende gezondheid en populariteit zorgden ervoor dat hij vanaf de jaren ’70 alleen nog theaterwerk deed. Nadat zijn zoon in 1987 bij een vliegtuigongeval om het leven was gekomen en hij het jaar daarna onwel was geworden tijdens een tournee, zette hij een punt achter zijn carrière.
Dean Martin, die in 51 films speelde, heeft drie sterren op de Hollywood Walk of Fame: voor zijn platenopnamen, films en TV-werk. Volgens de ‘legende’ was hij een forse drinkebroer, maar zijn biografen (en zijn familie) spreken dat nadrukkelijk tegen. Hij was drie keer getrouwd en heeft acht kinderen, van wie één geadopteerd.
Sedert 1993 leed hij terminaal aan kanker (niet toevallig aan longen en nieren). Toen de chirurgen voorstelden de aangetaste organen weg te snijden, wees hij dat genereuze aanbod af om naar huis terug te keren “to have a beer”. Hij heeft er nog twee jaar kunnen van genieten, want hij is pas op kerstdag 1995 overleden op 78-jarige leeftijd. Op zijn grafsteen staat ‘Everybody loves somebody sometime’.

When Elvis Presley was introduced to the daughter of Dean Martin, Diana, bent down and whispered in her ear: "They call me the King of Rock 'n' Roll, but your dad is the King of Cool».
King of Cool, died on Christmas Day 20 years ago, having a successful career. He had 40 top 10 singles between 1950 and 1969, three of them was the Amore (1953), Memories are Made of This (1955) and Everybody Loves Somebody (1964), selling millions.
Before gained fame and money, the Dean Martin spent much. His real name was Dino Paul Kroseti and was the son of an immigrant barber in Ohio. In adolescence was a reluctant perfomer, prefer to play boxing, and when he quit working as a croupier in an illegal casino. For a time he worked in a steel mill, and then the urging of friends, he began singing at weekends in small clubs.
At 21 she was spotted in a bar by a band leader Sami Gouatkins, who was impressed by the rich repertoire. At the time, Dean Martin Dean Martin called inspiration from pop star of opera Nino Martini. The Gouatkins was the one who named him Dean Martin, giving birth to a legend of showbusiness.
Martin smoothly imitate baritone voice and the words of Bing Crosby from which it took and the way they sang the lyrics. This relaxed tradition made the songs by Martin, such as Volare and Return to Me so charming.
Despite the direct identification Martin doubted his ability. He could not read music and he believed that there had singing lessons seemed. Jerry Lewis partner in comedy act called "Martin and Lewis," once said:
"Dean never could sing and do it with the whole heart, why was not he knew its value. He had no self-esteem. "
Martin had the warmest voices singing music, which is evident in songs like Memories Are Made of This.
But not only degrade voice and his music and his movie career, which included a nomination for a Golden Globe in 1959 for «Who Was That Lady?». There remained a reluctant celebrity, despite the ever highest paid star of the 60s.
The Dean Martin Show was the most popular program in 1965 and 1966, with perfomer gets $ 283,000 per episode. In the show the band had appeared Rat Pack, consisting of himself, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lofornt and Joey Bishop.
For the public, the Dean Martin was funny and styles of Rat Pack, but his close friends was difficult to understand his character.
A few years ago there was a discussion to become film life by Martin Scorsese, however, the director gave a revealing explanation of why such a thing never happened.
"I really tried but the story of Dean Martin was difficult. It was difficult because it was pulling his life back. It seemed completely passive and that was part of what was estimated by Sinatra and the others ", said the famous director.
Nevertheless, the Dean Martin left happy memories to his children, as he was a father made jokes and all of us beloved music, especially for the Christmas season.
The Dean Martin had a wonderful voice that interprets festive songs. His own «Let it Snow» is the most popular version of the traditional song, which he adapted a hot day of 1945.
In 78 he died on December 25, 1995 from acute respiratory failure at his home in Beverly Hills.
Filmmaker Peter Bogdanovic said for his death: "This that Martin died on Christmas Day is a kind of black joke."
The voice of the King of Cool Christmas ornament of the world.
Dean Martin-Η φωνή του βασιλιά του Cool στολίζει τα Χριστούγεννα του κόσμου!
Οταν ο Ελβις Πρίσλεϊ συστήθηκε στην κόρη του Ντιν Μάρτιν, Ντιάνα, έσκυψε και ψιθύρισε στο αυτί της: «Με φωνάζουν βασιλιά του Rock 'n' Roll, αλλά ο μπαμπάς σου είναι ο βασιλιάς του Cool».
Ο βασιλιάς του Cool, πέθανε την ημέρα των Χριστουγέννων πριν από 20 χρόνια, έχοντας μια επιτυχημένη καριέρα. Είχε 40 top 10 singles μεταξύ του 1950 και του 1969, τρία από αυτά ήταν το Amore (1953), Memories are Made of This (1955) και το Everybody Loves Somebody (1964), πουλώντας εκατομμύρια.
Πριν αποκτήσει δόξα και χρήμα, ο Ντιν Μάρτιν πέρασε πολλά. Το πραγματικό του όνομα ήταν Ντίνο Πολ Κροσέτι και ήταν γιος ενός μετανάστη κουρέα στο Οχάιο. Στην εφηβεία του ήταν ένας απρόθυμος perfomer, προτιμούσε να παίζει μποξ, ενώ όταν το παράτησε εργάστηκε σαν κρουπιέρης σε παράνομο καζίνο. Για μια περίοδο δούλεψε σε χαλυβουργείο και έπειτα από παρότρυνση των φίλων του, άρχισε να τραγουδά τα σαββατοκύριακα σε μικρά κλαμπς.
Στα 21 του εθεάθη σε ένα μπαρ από έναν αρχηγό μπάντας τον Σάμι Γουάτκινς, ο οποίος εντυπωσιάστηκε από το πλούσιο ρεπερτόριό του. Εκείνη την εποχή, ο Ντιν Μάρτιν λεγόταν Ντίνο Μαρτίνι έμπνευση από τον λαϊκό αστέρα της όπερας Νίνο Μαρτίνι. Ο Γουάτκινς ήταν εκείνος που τον ονόμασε Ντιν Μάρτιν, γεννώντας έναν θρύλο της showbusiness.
Ο Μάρτιν μιμούνταν ομαλά τα βαρύτονα φωνητικά και τη διατύπωση του Μπινγκ Κρόσμπι από τον οποίο πήρε και τον τρόπο που τραγουδούσε τους στίχους του. Αυτή η χαλαρή παράδοση έκανε τα τραγούδια του Μάρτιν, όπως το Volare και το Return to Me τόσο γοητευτικά.
Παρά την άμεση αναγνώριση ο Μάρτιν αμφέβαλε για την ικανότητά του. Ο ίδιος δεν μπορούσε να διαβάσει μουσική και πίστευε πως το ότι δεν είχε κάνει μαθήματα τραγουδιού φαινόταν. Ο Τζέρι Λούις συνεργάτης του στην κωμωδία σε πράξη που ονομαζόταν «Μάρτιν και Λούις» είχε πει κάποτε:
«Ο Ντιν ποτέ δεν μπορούσε να τραγουδήσει και να το κάνει με ολόκληρη την καρδιά του, γιατί δεν ήταν ήξερε την αξία του. Δεν είχε καμία αυτοεκτίμηση».
Ο Μάρτιν είχε από τις θερμότερες φωνές της μουσικής που τραγουδούσε, κάτι που είναι εμφανές σε τραγούδια, όπως το Memories Are Made of This.
Ομως, δεν υποβάθμιζε μόνο τη φωνή και τη μουσική του αλλά και την κινηματογραφική του καριέρα, η οποία περιελάμβανε μία υποψηφιότητας για Χρυσή Σφαίρα το 1959 για το «Who Was That Lady?». Παρέμενε μια απρόθυμη διασημότητα, παρά το όλο και υψηλότερο αμειβόμενο αστέρι του τη δεκαετία του '60.
Το Dean Martin Show ήταν το πιο δημοφιλές πρόγραμμα το 1965 και το 1966, με τον perfomer να παίρνει 283.000 δολάρια ανά επεισόδιο. Στο σόου είχε εμφανιστεί το συγκρότημα Rat Pack, που αποτελούνταν από τον ίδιο, τον Φρανκ Σινάτρα, τον Σάμι Ντέιβις Τζ., τον Πίτερ Λόφορντ και τον Τζόι Μπίσοπ.
Για το κοινό ο Ντιν Μάρτιν ήταν ο αστείος και ο στυλάτος των Rat Pack, αλλά για τους στενούς του φίλους ήταν δύσκολο να αντιληφθούν τον χαρακτήρα του.
Πριν μερικά χρόνια υπήρχε συζήτηση να γίνει ταινία η ζωή του από τον Μάρτιν Σκορτσέζε, ωστόσο, ο σκηνοθέτης έδωσε μια αποκαλυπτική εξήγηση γιατί κάτι τέτοιο δεν έγινε ποτέ.
«Πραγματικά προσπάθησα αλλά η ιστορία του Ντιν Μάρτιν ήταν δύσκολη. Ηταν δύσκολη γιατί τελικά τραβούσε τη ζωή του πίσω. Φαινόταν τελείως παθητικός και πως ήταν μέρος αυτού που εκτιμήθηκε από τον Σινάτρα και τους υπολοίπους», είχε πει ο διάσημος σκηνοθέτης.
Παρόλο αυτά, ο Ντιν Μάρτιν άφησε ευτυχισμένες αναμνήσεις στα παιδιά του, καθώς ήταν ένας πατέρας που έκανε αστεία και σε όλους εμάς λατρεμένη μουσική, ιδιαίτερα για την εποχή των Χριστουγέννων.
Ο Ντιν Μάρτιν είχε μια υπέροχη φωνή που ερμήνευε εορταστικά τραγούδια. Το δικό του «Let it Snow» είναι η πιο δημοφιλής εκδοχή του παραδοσιακού τραγουδιού, την οποία διασκεύασε μια ζεστή μέρα του 1945.
Στα 78 του πέθανε στις 25 Δεκεμβρίου του 1995 από οξεία αναπνευστική ανεπάρκεια στο σπίτι του στο Μπέβερλι Χιλς.
Ο σκηνοθέτης Πίτερ Μπογκντάνοβιτς δήλωσε για τον θάνατό του: «Αυτό το ότι ο Μάρτιν πέθανε την ημέρα των Χριστουγέννων είναι ένα είδος μαύρου αστείου».
Η φωνή του βασιλιά του Cool στολίζει τα Χριστούγεννα του κόσμου.
