There is something about life that has shifted, beyond fashions and styles. Something is gone that used to be there. These type of songs make me feel it very sharply. I am sad for my Children's generation. The 20 somethings. They are having such a hard time of it. They cant meet anyone. Not like we used to meet and trust people.
That last long note with that perfect vibrato all the way is something you'll never hear again in such beautiful way by other singers... He was so much talented ❤🙏🙏🙏
As the man once said : " Folks you can wait around & hope, but you'll not hear the likes of this, again. " ----------------So sad, & so true. -------------------------------WolfSky9, 72 y/o
Dean Martin comes from an era when there were what was known as 'ORIGINAL SINGERS'. From the first note one knows instantly who is singing. I love this kind of music and never get tired of hearing it. Dean was truly 'one of a kind'. RIP❤❤❤
Can I just say it ?? I'm in tears. I so, so remember watching this man do this song & while sitting in my Dad's rocker recliner, I was again, in tears. The amazing thing to me : My Dad--a man who almost never did, was also in tears. Dean could do that to me, almost anytime he really decided to sing a sad love song. he did it like no one else I've ever heard. Where oh where, have the years gone ??? Miss you Dad. Wolfsky9, 68 y/o
My Dad loved dean Martin's show as well. He & I would sit & watch & laugh till we had tears running down our face. I miss my Dad & I miss Dean Martin. May they both RIP!!
I hear my kids tell to watch all these sings shows like, The Voice, America Got Talent, Britian Got Talent, etc. Then you Watch and Listen to this man, and realize who really has Talent. End of Story!
Considering the Era, smoking was the thing to do and most crooner's like Sinatra, Bennett, etc did it. Then Drugs became the"In thing", as both Prince and Michael Jackson can attest to.
Peter Racippo smoking wasn't the 'in thing'. It was just what people did. You can't liken it to drug use nowadays. Both my parents were heavy smokers, along with everyone else. Those were the mistakes of the 60s and 70s like lead paint and no seat belts.
Take a close look at his expressions! Every wrinkle of his face, speaks! Oh my God, he was the best! Some people say "none is irreplaceable".. Men like him are unfortunately IRREPLACEABLE! But he will live FOREVER in our memories! Love you, Dean...Keep singing wherever you are..
One of the finest vocalists in show business history. His tone here is rich and tender, soft and strong. A master of the notes, Dino was literally "one of the very best".
Dean always left a smile on my face and in my heart anytime he sang, no matter what it was, Such warm, fond memories of him, while I was growing up, God bless you Dean.
Dean Martin and Elvis were two of my all time favourite singers; they were both very good looking. It is sad that the world is deprived of their talents. Elvis good looks and voice will never be duplicated and so is Dean. I have a whole bunch of records of both singers and will forever cherish them. May you guys continue to entertain the heavens with your voices.
Everyone has a time, and I'm so glad to have lived in a time that such music was the norm. The next generation are welcome to what they consider the norm, as I have no interest and why would I, as I won't be around forever. I do believe technology vwill at some stage be able to recreate all these wonderful artists live and that I would like to see. Anyways as I say, we all have our time, so enjoy the moment and don't worry about the future as it's not ours to decide what it should be. Thanks to RU-vid for enabling us all to re experience times in our life through the medium of music.
He's such a great perfumer, and one of very few who could take a song and make it there own. He's like Elvis, they could sing anything and get away with it. What a master!
Magic the best ever all of them. But they all loved ,and adored one man even more . The great sachmo, the great Mr Armstrong . He played with them all , and you never forget a show any one of them made with the great man.
at the age of 6 this olive oil smooth charm and voice and good looks would make me cry tears of joy even till this day growing up in an Italian family he was always heard never ever gets old! miss him
In the years he did The Dean Martin Show, it's safe to say there were only a handful of times --like this --when Dean sang from his heart, & it was always a song about losing love. Absolutely no one --I mean, no one --ever did this like Dean did, & it never fails to hit me right in my heart of hearts. Miss you Mr. Dean Martin. Wolfsky9
You deserve all the praise and applause forever, dear Dean Martin. I am always captivated by your warm baritone voice. This beautiful song would have also sounded great in Elvis Presley's voice. Both Dean and Elvis were baritones.
Dean Martin is my childhood, growing up in a home where his music was played all the time. So fond memories, and yes he is a true legend as someone else commented up on
One of those all too rare moments when Dean got serious, & sang for real. What a voice the man had, & was there EVER a more handsome man? I don't believe so. Wolfsky9
Sitting around a camp-fire with Dean Martin, John Wayne and Walter Brennan would have been something to remember forever. Dino was pure talent. "My rifle, pony and me" is a Classic. But ol' Dino almost steals this song clean away from Glen Campbell.
Some called him lazy with his vocal...but when you hear him lay this tune down...with his phrasing...his style...he makes you believe the song. That's an artist.
My uncle Jack reminded me of Dean.. both are dead now, and I miss them . The sweet melodrama of icons like the unmatchable Dean Martin may not be experienced again for a long time, if ever..our country's Michael Buble comes closer..
even elvis said "i will tell you who is cool ....dean martin " they were friends and respected each others talent praise to the songwriter who wrote this lovely ballad [jimmy webb???].......so smooth , and so uniquely dean martin . where are there singers like this today ??? cherish what we had ....there will never be another like the great dean martin.
Mr. Martin, you were just magnificent on this one, & I so remember watching this with my Dad. One of the very few times you really sang from the heart. ---I was in tears. -----------Wolfsky9, 70 y/o
