Look Whose Surpass Ole Blue Eyes and Jerry In Contemporary Relevance

He had a great voice, better than Sinatra's. But he never had a big huge hit like Sinatra or Sammy, did he?

i cannot bear Jerry Lewis' retard act and hated it even as a child. But Dino's drunk schtick was as bad or worse, always on stage with a drink and a cigarette. People must really have had shit for taste back then. Those terrible comedians, eg Don Rickles, Henny Goodman...

Sorry, Henny YOUNGMAN

"always on stage with a drink and a cigarette."

Martin was not an alcoholic. He drank only moderately. And it was usually apple juice in his glass when he did his drunk schtick.

Goodman, Youngman ...

[quote]But he never had a big huge hit like Sinatra or Sammy, did he?

My Wiki search showed Memories Are Made of This, That's Amore, Return to Me, and Everybody Loves Somebody Sometimes were top 10 hits in the U.S. Two of them were #1.

Yeah, I guess That's Amore and Everybody Loves Somebody Somtimes were hits. But not of the magnitude of "My Way" or "New York, New York" or "The Candyman".

It would be hard to do a good biopic because you'd have to include the presence of both Jerry Lewis and Sinatra in his life. And it would end sadly - that fat old grifter Bonnie Lee Bakley tried to put moves on him..ugh!

Far better to let his recordings and that fabulous voice speak for itself.

Martin was a better actor in dramatic and light comedies than he was given credit for. I wouldn't put on a record of his while Sinatra was a recording genius despite being beyond contemptible as a human being. I couldn't care less about Frankie when I was a boy. Now listening to his(literally)lps I find him amazing. Listen to his It's All Right With Me from Can Can. Perfection.

I don’t understand the title of this thread. Is it a Google translation into English? I’ve struggled with several thread titles recently. Is it me?

Maybe I need an MRI or something.

There's nothing wrong with the title except for the second verb, which should be in the third person.

[r11] - I’ll book MRIs for both of us.

transposed 'se'

I think Henny Goodman opened for Benny Youngman in the late 60s.

Could someone just reword the title? I can’t figure it out either.

Look Who Surpasses Ol' Blue Eyes and Jerry (Lewis) in Contemporary Relevance

Ah, thank you

Bless you R16.

The You Must Remember This podcast had a great season on Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. Lots of good stories.

I always thought Dean Martin was kind of handsome and sexy.

Frank Sinatra was by all accounts an asshole but he made some great records. I find too many of Dean's recordings too cheesy.

Nat King Cole, of course, is far superior to both.

And I found Bobby Darin to be cooler than Frank or Dean.

How exactly has Dean Martin surpassed Frank Sinatra in contemporary relevancy? Any examples? I don't see it.

Dean Martin early camp.

Is this your conclusion op?

R22: His singing is constantly used in many movies if today, Started with Moonstruck

of today, I meant

Martin is really good as the drunk ex-deputy in Howard Hawks' Rio Bravo.

R27- He was excellent in that movie. I really liked him as an actor and singer. We also watched the Dean Martin show as well. Dean never rehearsed for a show. He ad-libbed every line and was witty and charming. He had great musical guests. My mother adored him, hated Frank Sinatra. Dean was everything Frank wished he could be.

Dean had a good nose job early in his career. Made him much more handsome.
