I'm guessing this was from 1972-73, the date is not given. Even at this time Martin is in full control of his impressive voice and brings an old song new life with this touching performance. Time and events have clearly touched Dean by this time, but like all great artists he channels this to give a deeper more nuanced performance that belies the tragedies that life tries to inflict upon us.
I come back to this version often times. To me, this’s v touching, his singing tone, his body language, the meaning of the lyrics, just every-thing’s. Kind of seeing the other sides of him. A lonely man. A beautiful soul ~ sweet Dean Martin. Loved the man and his music. He’ll always be remembered.❤ Thanks again for uploading. Good health to all.
You’ve got to win a little, loose a little.. and have got the blues a little.. I’ve always liked the lyrics. Dean Martin vocals is very powerful. His is the best version of all. Simply beautiful. (Edit: I strongly wish you’d find a way to save this classic video. Pls.)
