Couldn’t have said it better! Those were the days.

i am not sure he was intent on integrating as much as he loved talent and had a good heart. He was told not to act to forward so he wouldn't seem to be black. you can see in the video how he goes fun and then tries to restrain himself. He was one good egg!

86 here and I completely agree with you.

@Ander Ander You got that right ❣Dean Martin said in an enterview, that he really looked up to the Mills Brothers. My Dad was a singer & got really good seats to see them when I was only about 8 years old! I never forgot how wonderful they were.

Amen, Ander. I was about to write my own comment and point out "class," but when I saw you'd already taken care of it, I decided just to say Amen.

Dont people still do

@@LucyWest370 lol...no

@@anderander5662 pretty sure class, talent, and getting along is still a thing people have dude.

All the Melodies based on LOVE !!

Quite frankly, I call that horrible Rap stuff, Rap Crap!!!

​@chirelle.alanalooney8609 why can't both be valid? I like this type of music, I like blues, rock, metal, rap, pop...

When I was little they were my favorite. Sure wish a group like them was around now.

This was class! Today's people could learn alot from these gentlemen!

Amen!!!

Put a big smile on my face! I needed this. Always loved the Mills Brothers. Dean added his special flavor.

What has happened to life today?

@@davidporter1855. Tune into Sant Andreu Jazz Band David. You won’t be disappointed. 👍🎼🎷

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Dean once said he pattered his vocal style after Harry Mills

Dean modeled his style with a blend of the Mills Brothers and Bing Crosby.

There just ain't,no mo music like that .

You are so right, Dean martin was glowing!

Dean sang WITH the Mills Brothers. He didn't try to take over. You can see just how much fun he's having.

Talent and a LOT of work

And a great backing band, great recording. Listen how they play just behind the beat, just like Basie. All the digital bells and whistles of now won't make that happen.

@@susanschreiber5649 That is how Marty Robbins did it when he hosted his show. He always let his guests be the focal point. He even toned down his own singing as to not upstage his guest. This can be seen when sang with Carol Channing.

True. No one seems to be actually having fun anymore.

I was born in 1949 and my parents would listen to this type of music...I'm a Led Zeppelin kind of guy BUT can certainly appreciate this wonderful talent!..

Hello Kelly, how are you doing?

amen

\\\

Jackie Gleason did the same. Apparently if you got it you got it.

@@callumnye2562 7så bjutifullt❤️❤️❤️

................They were dressing up for us. They were truly pros in their field. Looking nice and clean was all part of it. What a difference in today's so called performers..........................

When men were so nice to look at. It happens less frequently these days, so I'm glad we can come to KZfaq and see some fine talent performed by some fine men.

Right on, pally! By the way, I gave you a GREAT, BIG, HUMONGOUS "thumb's up" for what you said in your comment!!!

Wel I mis this kind off music verry much i think the only one who can do this today with a big orkestra is my favorite singer 84 years young in a verry good healty shape Engelbert Humerdinck i love this man.💕🌺

PLUS beautiful gracious, Gentlemen.

Corey Ferguson I was born in 1960 to parents who loved all things music - when they weren’t out dancing - shows like this were on our little b/w tv - the only reason I knew anything about “hippies” was cause of my babysitters 🤣😂

@@allymayful They were gracious; weren't they?

@@ej3016 Music was a very big deal for us here in Toronto. Our family didn't have very much money and couldn't listen to this kind of music live. The US network shows meant so much to us and were a great influence in my life. I was born in 1953.

Real voices!!!!!

Hello Christine, how are you doing?

It's true! People were calling him "The Poor Man's Crosby!" He then replied "Harry Mills is my Idol."

Even Elvis dubbed Dino The King of Cool!

My dad use to sing this song alot. He was a fisherman & when the season was over he sang at a nightclub in Juneau. There'd be signs all over saying he would be in town to sing. Night club would be packed out.

Dino, had the BEST SINGERS, entertainers on his shows 💚🤍🧡💯🌞🌝⭐️⭐️🌝

My Mom introduced me to The Mills Brothers when I was young. Sixty-Five now, and their voices still put a smile on my face. Add Dino to the mix and you truly have entertainment at its finest.

You can't but S M I L E when you hear/see this ....?!!!!¡¡¡¡!!!!

Hello Debbie, how are you doing?

When music WAS MUSIC

I am 62 my late husband would be 69 he had never heard of these guys until once in the mid 80’s my dad was playing old records some 78’s & most were Mills Brothers. Some Dean Martin & some Frank Sinatra & Billie Holliday record’s played that night too. My husband was converted to the Mills Brothers that night. I’d been hearing them my whole life. My mom was named Margie he’d Change ‘Mary’ in the song 🎶Cab Driver🎶 to ‘Margie’, serenaded her with & without the record playing. I saw a British guitar teacher do a lesson using “Paper Doll” tonight & I got nostalgic for the other songs I grew up with. So glad this is posted. Mom died last year, daddy’s been gone dine 1992. Memories & great music last forever!

Yes no one ever heard of Hitler or Stalin in those days!

Hello Gina, how are you doing?

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

Hello Catharina, how are you doing?

And after the Rat Pack got done with their Vegas Act they would go and sit in the audience of Louie Prima's to listen and relax. The called him The Chief as in Indian Chief because of his features. Another distinctive singer with a style all to his own!!!

@@danthuman8606 Thank you Dan for that information, you're right about Dean there is a resemblance to an Indian Chief.🙂
