I like Sammy Davis Jr's version better. Think he's better. Dean Martin goofed around too much, so the song loses its punch. Almost like he was making fun of the subject matter.
I dont care about all of your comment about DINO..for me he just the most "Genius" Entertainer.. even he DRUNk or NOT...he just human..he has his own privacy..his owned his life..he has his owned legacy..and everybody has their owned story... ❤❤❤and what made his very important is he always made everybody happy. He said : “I want to be remembered as a damn good entertainer, nothing spectacular. A good entertainer who made people enjoy themselves and made them laugh a little. I want them to think ‘He was a nice guy. He did pretty good and we loved him’” - Dean Martin
I Love to hear Dean sing Slow Boat To China. Love this song by him. Dean was so Cool. Plus he was good looking. Plus he new that and he used it to advantage. Love him Good Looking.
Dean. Was a. Great talent who could. Do. It all. !!! I. Find. It. Adorable when he. Hams it. Up. With. Cute. Facial expressions. As. He. Sang. He. Was. Having. Fun
I only ever knew the kay kyser version of slow boat, and today I discovered this version and Ella Fitzgerald's version, lovely to hear other takes on the same song. I also only ever knew Al Bowlly's Melancholy Baby, great to hear another version.
This was our song,both happy.14 months later still love you if you only knew how much .It was all destroyed by lies & greed of her she came back 5 years what a lie !
