Next in line was Barry Manilow; but I didn't have any of his "pop" CDs. They were Manilow Sings Sinatra, the 50s and Big Bands. I didn't think anyone would be interested in any of those. Dean Martin was half of the duo of Martin and Lewis. After the breakup of the comedy team, Martin embraced a solo career both in singing and acting. This is a 2-CD set with a total of 37 songs; so I am just listing a sampling of the songs. 1. Ain't That a Kick in the Head 2. That's Amore 4. Just in Time 13. Standing on the Corner 19. You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You 24. Everybody Loves Somebody 29. In the Misty Moonlight 30. Gentle on my Mind Live From Lake Tahoe, California - July 27, 1962 1. Introduction by Frank Sinatra - A Medley of Songs 2. My Kind of Girl 5. I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter/Volare/On an Evening in Roma 7. Break it to me Gently I love Dino's smooth delivery. There was only one like him. I'm sharing "Ain't That a Kick in the Head". You will probably recognize it from "Vegas Vacation": Photo Credit: Wikimedia Commons

My mother had a big crush on Dean. I didn’t appreciate his music or humor until later in life. I recognize most of those songs, especially #19 and 24. He was very suave.

Here’s my favorite Dean song:
Enjoying great success in music, film, television, and the stage, Dean Martin was less an entertainer than an icon, the eternal essence of cool. A member of ...

He was a very smooth singer but always sounded half-drunk to me. There are some great songs listed here.

Dean was so cool that Sinatra looked up to him as cool.
