He’s so cool, he’s actually cold. Dead cold.

Dean was da man. Talented and humble, a rare juxtaposition.

Martin’s “drunk” act was just that, an act. He rarely drank..

Wonderful buckeye from Steubenville Ohio. His life took a tragic turn as he never recovered from the untimely accidental death of his son. It just took the starch out of Dino.

Great voice, great entertainer.

The above URL in #9 leads to one of the most fun clips of Dean Martin and his good friend Phil Harris, it is simply perfection. Enjoy!

He's cool because he's a re'lar guy from east podunk ohio without a bit of pretension.

When he sings.. ♪When the moon hits you're eye like a big pizza pie♫ Thats Amore...♪

He's dead serious, that's who he is

I was born in ‘46. By the time I was 11 or 12, I was a Rock-a-Billy Punk! And I just loved everything about Dean Martin! Too cool fer school! Liking him was so out of character for me! But I sure did like him! I read that he was a big fan of Bing, and the Mills Brothers.

She said the reason he appeared so relaxed while working was because it wasn't an act.

Bingo!

I love the Time Life infomericals on videos and music. The one with Dino and his Roasts is classic. What a line up of superstars, and they didn’t have to be XXX rated to have a good time. Watch it if you ever get the chance, you’ll die laughing and longing for the good ol days.
