I always liked Dean Martin (born Dino Crocetti btw). My first memories of Dino was when I was a little girl. We had one of those counsel old fashioned radios and Memories Are Made Of This was new. My parents brought the record on a 78.

I liked his smooth style and his sense of humor and his drunk act. I do remember my mom hated it when as she put it, "would flirt with all the girls."

In later years and something I appreciate even more now than I did then, is his Roasts. How fun!!!

My heart went out to him when his son Dino died in a plane crash here in California. I hear he never got over it. (understandably)
