I always wanted to see this presentation. Thank you for uploading this. John Wayne really deserved the award. John Wayne and Dean Martin were great together in Rio Bravo and The sons of Katie Elder. It was nice seeing Jerry Lewis in the audience applauding Dean and smiling. Dean was his smooth, wonderful, super cool self, as always. Nice seeing Andy Williams here too. Dean and Andy both had great variety shows. Wish they had appeared on each others shows. A duet with Dean Martin and Andy Williams would have really been something. God bless them all.
Dean Martin was the best.. I want to model myself after Dean.. All I have to do is be a great singer, actor and comic.. Ok maybe he was known as a comic but boy was he funny .. But really just as cool as he was would be great!! great time to be alive when Dean was kicking ass..
What a great upload. To see Andy, John and Dean together on one stage is truly special. Andy Williams had a remarkable tenor voice that added elegance to every song he sang. Duke Wayne was a movie superstar as popular as Schwarzenegger or Eastwood in their time periods. And of course Dean Martin was without doubt one of the greatest entertainers of the 20th century If one thing linked them all it was their longevity. Superstars for decades because only supreme talents like theirs stood the test of time. I wonder what was going through Jerry Lewis' mind watching Dean at the peak of his career? Wonderful.
This may have been the last time Dean and Jerry saw each other in person (they greeted each other backstage) prior to their reunion in 1976 on the MD Telethon.
