The Best of Dean Martin [Cema]

Performer: Dean Martin
Distributor: EMI Music Distribution

Notes: Personnel: Dean Martin (vocals). While 12 tracks is nowhere near enough to represent the career of the iconic actor/singer Dean Martin, this budget-priced CD offers an ample sampling of the pop vocalist with the ever-languorous drawl. Included here are rock-era number-one hits like "Memories Are Made Of This" and "You're Nobody Til Somebody Loves You" alongside his classic interpretations of "Volare" and "Standing on the Corner."

Dean Martin was a towering pop-culture icon of the 20th century. He first became known as part of a wildly successful music-and-comedy team with Jerry Lewis in the 1940s and '50s, subsequently becoming a solo singing star. His mellow, Bing Crosby-inspired crooning style lent itself well to everything from Italian ballads to pop standards and even C&W material. As part of Frank Sinatra's notorious Rat Pack, he took part in numerous films and concerts with Sinatra and Sammy Davis, Jr. A major presence in movies, and on TV, radio, and records up to the 1970s, Martin was one of the most recognizable faces in America. He had been in retirement from show business for several years when he died in 1995 at the age of 78.
