Dean Martin (born Dino Paul
Crocetti; June 7, 1917 – December 25, 1995) was an American singer, film
actor and comedian. He was one of the best known musical artists of the
1950s and 1960s. Martin's hit singles included "Memories Are Made Of
This", "That's Amore", "Everybody Loves Somebody", "Mambo Italiano",
"Sway", "Volare" and "Ain't That A Kick In The Head?" One of the
organizers of "The Rat Pack", he was a major star in four areas of show
business: concert stage, recordings, motion pictures, and television. Dean Martin has since become a pop culture icon for his womanizing ways, his trademark charm, and his drinking and alleged alcoholism. He was much respected wherever he went, and became a sort of unofficial ambassador to the Italian-American community. As a singer, Martin copied the styles of Bing Crosby and Perry Como until he developed his own and could hold his own in duets with Sinatra and Crosby. Like Sinatra, he could not read music, but he recorded more than 100 albums and 600 songs. His signature tune, "Everybody Loves Somebody", knocked The Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night" out of the number-one spot in the United States in 1964
