The young Italian-American Dean Martin dreamed of greatness – a feat he reached in more than one way. Martin is rare in that on Hollywood’s Walk Of Fame, he has three stars; one each for movies, TV and of course music.
The “Laidback Lothario’s” smooth vocals and sharp suits made him the perfect ladies man as well as a man’s man for his lavish lifestyle and celebrity circle of friends. His vocal style is said to have inspired a young Elvis Presley whilst his fashion sense is still more than evident in our popstars today.
Dean Martin practically invented his own style of music, “nice ‘n’ easy”, the perfect swinging soundtrack to romance. His trademark lounge tune Everybody Loves Somebody was so popular it knocked A Hard Day’s Night by The Beatles off the top spot in the US.
Martin’s career took in movies, TV shows and of course the legendary live shows with Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis jnr. and Peter Lawford. Away from the heady world of showbiz, Martin was a loving husband and father to seven children until his death in 1995.
If you want to know what love is, there’s no better way than listening to “That’s Amore”. “That’s Amore” is released through UMTV / Island Records on 1st March 2010.
