Dean Martin us probably the most underrated entertainer of all time. He doesn't get the accolades that Frank and Sammy still get. Yet he was incredibly funny, his comedy timing is absolutely incredible, he was a fairly good actor and an incredible voice....And he did it very naturally, no pretence, moved like velvet, he definitely deserves more credit than he gets.

Will Martell Well apparently Frank Sinatra said that Dean Martin had a better voice than him, I don’t know about that, it’s like comparing 🍏 and 🍊!

@cjpreach 3 жыл бұрын

Jerry Lewis called Dean a great comedic talent with impeccable timing. Jerry wrote the material, gave Dean a brief description of it, then Dean performed it perfectly without any full rehearsal. Incredible.

@@debraharris879 I think he did, he just didn't take himself seriously. I like Sinatra, but Dean's voice was richer. There's an English metal musician who analyzes different entertainers on youtube, and he did one of Dean Martin, and talked about how he makes singing look easy, but he was really quite technical. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aZt4hrR628ypeGg.html&ab_channel=WingsofPegasus

On a vid on you tube his producer said he took a lot of that compensation in RCA stock (who owned NBC at the time. At the time of his death Dean was the largest single share holder in that company. He was a very shrewd business man.

The real Dean Martin was a very private and shy man. A family man and a man with tremendous integrity. He came up through show buisness the hard way like so many of his time. His easy smooth singing style was his talent. Little did we all know he would blossom into a wonderful comedian with impeccable timing during the great and sensational years he partnered with Jerry Lewis. If that wasn't enough he ventured on his own to become a very fine actor as well as having his own legendary television show which was successful for many years. Las Vegas was his headquarters where he was most comfortable delighting his fans with his cool deminor and singing Excellence. Dino rightfully labeled was and to me all these years is THE KING OF COOL. Yes we had Sinatra,Crosby, Como and many other greats. But there was ONLY ONE DINO and anyone old enough to have watched this man perform was truly Blessed.... Love u 4ver Dino!

@susantunbridge4612 Жыл бұрын

His relationship with Jerry Lewis was "open warfare" to quote Angie Dickinson. Dean nearly quit several times, as Jerry dominated the writing and Dean couldnt stand the formulaic and rather stupid movies. They had a lot of fights, and Dean finally had enough when Jerry cut him out of a Life mag cover. He told Lewis "You're nothing to me but a f-ing dollar sign", and when they told Dean he couldn't just leave like that, he said "Just watch me!", and he did. They had to fulfil one more engagement together, and then Dean was gone - never spoke to Lewis again for 20 years, lots of unflattering cracks about him though in his shows; and it wasn't until Sinatra forced a probably inadvisable reconcilation that Dean spoke to Jerry again. Jerry was a known bully, and a really unpleasant person. I can't stand him for any more than about 2 minutes.

@susantunbridge4612 Жыл бұрын

I don't trust anything Lewis said about Dean - he did a certain amount of acknowledging Dean's talent, but all in all, after Sinatra forced the reconciliation, Jerry then took hold of the narrative about their relationship, and Dean of course just ignored it, and it continued after Dean's death.
