Amen to that

Don't forget card croupier and boxer ! 😉

the one written by Dean's son Ricci is also excellent.

Never watched Dean Martin on his TV show but liked his songs and movies

I never saw her before, although, somehow, I'd heard the name. Now, I know why the name registered. She was amazing. Very Bassey but more so!!

Yes, we've gone backwards!

Yes you're right !

Robert Rutger m

So true.

Sinatra was close in wearing of the tux. I soo miss these real entertainers!!

Yes he was. They were the best and it is such a shame there aren't many like them left. I will say that Tom Stevens does a really good Dean Martin however and is definitely worth checking out in my opinion.

Class. In those days going to Vegas was about fashion and style. Now, it's cargo shorts and t-shirts.

Tom Datsall The definition of crooning

Hey they are the weirdos if they don't like Dean Martin. who do they like No talent Kanye?

What is wrong with talent, great entertainment, family fun, and decent jokes and behavior? Liberalism.

@@Forevertrue Brother; you've lost your reason listening to these slanted political broadcasts ( FOX news channel ?) The liberal, feminist commie pinko conspiracy you see everywhere is in your own propaganda addled mind. Before you call me a lefty, consider this, I am a military veteran who voted for and served under Reagan. Listen to more sides than One before you make up your mind. Trump is a scumbag who is destroying the reputation of the republican party. Democrats should rejoice every time he acts like a jackass.

@@wonderrob3225, you mean "commie pinko" is just conspiracy talk? Because I thought 'Putin from Russia owns our president' was just accepted orthodoxy? Now, Russian commies are just conspiracy talk. MAKE UP YOUR G.D. MIND!... Let's DEBATE IT, LIBOCRAT...

@@robertsprouse9282 no need for a debate I could watch fox news myself If I was a propaganda triggered ideologue. I don't need you to restate the opinion you've been given. I do not represent the "type of person" your hoping to argue with ( libocrat?) nor am I a target for your internal rage.

I wish more young people could experience this. It was truly amazing. I lived through it.

Dean was far better than Cranky Franky.

Good on Dean and Frank for kissing Dianne Carol. It must have sent the racists in apoplectic fits.

Love, love her.

You will never see the likes of them again. To much PC these days.

You're right. Now look up the words GORGEOUS, SEXY, LUSCIOUS, and HEART THROB, and you'll find the same picture!

@@corriecrazy, I found a pic of Joey Heatherton..

The way we were. No look at us now

@@corriecrazy You mean they took mine down!

@@vincentmazzola7230 Just close your eyes to avoid the tears.

Dino.

He was and still is the best entertainer ever

The song he's singing going back to Houston was recorded in 1966 so how could he be saying the song 1965

@@thomasnorman9536 "Houston," written by Lee Hazlewood, was originally recorded by country singer, Sanford Clark in 1964. Dino recorded his version in 1965, where it spent nine weeks on the pop charts in August, '65, peaking at #21. As this show aired in September (and likely taped a couple weeks prior), Dino showcased "Houston" on the show right when the single was on the charts.

we all , even as children used to watch it as children. my mother liked dean martin. we all like the part when he would jump on the piano for a chat with Ken the pianist. he was so full of jokes . never took himself seriously on the show.

And, I was there!

he sure looked like he was having fun. like no cares in the world. !

Australia loved the Dean Martin Hour.

My parents always watched Dean...they didn't care for Bob Hope but they loved Dino...

A talented genius!! Dean was the greatest!

@@Forevertrue ihave been binge watching jerry and dean old movies someone uploaded on youtube. what a treat. esp when we are staying home with govt orders ...! both so talented. jerry was so young and crazy. I SOMETIMES wonder how dean tolerated his antics. you could see not all was scripted. but there was LOVE between them. But their split was inevitable. when 2 geniuses have to part its for better thngs ahead as we have seen.

There was no one like Dino Crocetti of Steubenville, Ohio. Read Nick Tosches' biography of him. Not always pretty, but Dean was a good man.

Yeah, Bob Newhart was the whole package, wasn't he?

I'm of the theory that Dean learned a lot from Jerry; and vice-versa. Dean learned how to be comedic, and Jerry, who could carry a tune pretty well, must have taken a lot of singing pointers from Dean when they were partners. As Dino himself once said (paraphrasing), "The two best things that ever happened to my career were (1.) the Martin & Lewis partnership and (2.) ENDING the partnership."

Me too he was so fine and funny

I agree he is the best pain reliver there is for my choric pain. I just turned something with Dean in it and my pain melt away.

I felt so sad when dean lost his son in an airplane accident. He made so many people feel happy and warm inside. but when he was in grief, he was the only man on earth with No dean martin to cheer him

On

Im not the only one who crys😭

If ever

Happy birthday & Many more happy healthy returns.....

Dino.

Happy 82nd babe.

Happy Birthday, Janet, I had my 70th birthday October the 4 I remember watching these

​@@tomcarpenter700 Hope you are having a Happy one, too. Every day from now on, I just thank God for another day with no mistakes in it. The older I get the least mistakes I make. Today I watched my grandsons putting up a new entertainment center for me. I had a thought come to me that they are worried I may need help seeing the screen or hearing the movie and they got that covered - JUST IN CASE< L O L Awe, I am so glad to have such loving kids to look after me; at least the entertainment. I am sure it is to keep me in my seat so that I don't get carried away with singing and dancing. I do much of that in private now mostly to keep me in shape and amuse myself. My family feels put upon if I engage them in wanting to see their talents. My background in radio scares them half to death and you can see them skirt around me when I am in that mood. They just aren't sure just how much "ham" I want. (as much as I can get!) So, we'll see what it is they expect of me now. Maybe it is just their way of telling me to sit this one out- yeah, they wish! (I wouldn't dare tell them I am still 17 and no plan to change; it has served me well).

Shes in musical heaven now.RIP.

The three best standards and broadway tunes lady singers of the 1960's: 1. Diahann Carroll 2. Vikki Carr 3. Nancy Wilson.. And the rest are a distant fourth or worse..

Marvelous voice, great stage presence, and an exceptional beauty.

Not a dying breed at all. The Dean Martin Show started a trend, and variety shows aired widely for the next twenty-five years. Variety shows were, in fact, enormously popular for a long, long time after this show aired.

They hung on until the Bradys. They were great, I watched a few times but it didn't last. The best part is how much fun Robert Reed was having. Brady Bunch Variety Show.

That's how it's done!!!

When television was worth watching, when the greats were still with us. Grateful to have seen it, the handful of artists of this caliber are gone forever.

Im 13 and I watch this

God is Good and this too...

VCR Time Machine Very cool . TV today sucks so bad they have no idea what comedy really is. God bless you..

"The Dean Martin Show" was broadcast in color. This a b&w 16mm kinescope film. In that era it was a practice to create a film copy for NBC network affiliates that did not carry the original feed due to other programming. They would get permission to air the show on a delay, a different day and time. NBC would ship a 16mm black and white film print of the original color taping for the local TV station to broadcast. I used to work for an ABC station in Shreveport, LA and a show that we delayed to another day and time was ABC's "Iron Horse" which ABC broadcast Sunday nights in color. We ran it the following Saturday at 5pm in the afternoon using a 16mm black and white print that ABC shipped to the station. Bottom line is, all of the Dean Martin variety hour shows beginning with the very first 1965 show were broadcast in color on NBC.

@@hershelorg Thank you! I only remembered the show in color. Appreciate the clarification.

@@sharigreen9252 Shows in color preserved in color from this time are exceedingly rare. One of the oldest examples is the Dinah Shore Show with Louis Prima and Keely Smith. Color videotape was very new and expensive and they were almost always re-used until the tape wore out.

You must look for the old Christmas album featuring the Gold Diggers. Mine listed a year, so maybe every year they had a new one produced....don't know.

I'm going back to Houston

Did this first air in 1986?

@@robertsprouse9282 I think it was 1965.

The information you've got is not exactly accurate. The original written source of the often quoted story about Dean Not drinking is from his son Ricci's biography. What he actually said Was that the "booze" he drank on stage was often only apple juice. and he added no one could perform like his dad or frank Sinatra if they were shit faced. He did not however say that his dad was a teetotaler If your old enough to remember, adult men Drank and smoked back then. They drank and smoked Allot!

Dean Martin was and will always be the king of class

Dean Martin will and will always be the king of class

One of the very best Dino

This show is from 1965....so now it's been 55 years. Time marches on!!!

Your mother lived in America's best and most grand days. Sadly, we are in a very steep decline and only a move of God can bring us back from the cliff. Thanks for sharing this about your dear Mom....

We have to make the move, NOT GOD! Having great entertainment is one of the secondary benefits of being a GODLY nation. What is our entertainment like now? Case closed! Richard from Alabama (ROLL TIDE!!!!!)

She could've done a Bond theme.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Yvonne Rocchio brooo that’s how they wore REGULAR clothing, now adays, we see people wearing what people in their day called rags 😂

I am a young 85 years old the stars and performers of DEANS ERA WILL NEVER BE IMPROVED UPON. Have I said enough?

Yes sir!

Back then it was little better and little worse. Every decade has both.

yambo59 the facr that Ms. Carroll was the only BLACK person amongst the cast. Ms. Diahann Carroll held her own!!📺📺 RIP Dean

+Sandra Andrews And you have to love the way how diahann was treated by dino and ol' blue eyes. and especially how she was billed first among the guests.

is she still alive? I remember she became David Frost"S long time girlfriend.

@@jessiejames7492, no, R.I.P.
