dean martin was born 92 years ago today, june 7, 1917 - and died on christmas day, 1995, at the age of 78. i am a huge fan of dean martin - both of his years with jerry lewis and then his solo career after their breakup. his music has long been a staple of my ipod playlist (favorite martin song, "ain't that a kick in the head").
check out this great slide show with photos of dean, to the soundtrack of "ain't that a kick in the head." for frank sinatra and rat pat fans, that's the song dean sings at the sahara during the original "ocean's eleven" film.
happy birthday in heaven, dean!
Today I am half they age he would have been!

Happy Birthday Dino! We love ya.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you remembered Dean like this. Good tribute. He's still the best!
ReplyDeleteI’m half his age too, but I fell head over heels in love with him at the age of 4, and I still am!! This is a real nice little tribute for him, and I thank you for putting it on the web. We had a birthday cake (and party) for him the evening of the seventh. As Joey Bishop said, "what a gift for the angles!" happy birthday Dean!
