He's incredibly funny, mannered, charming , and what a sweet, beautiful voice. He brings joy and laughter to many throughout his career. He's special. Year 2023, I'm still, regularly listening to his music. He's fondly missed and will always be remembered. ❤ Dean Martin.
Six months before Dean died, I was dining in a Beverly Hills restaurant, Dean was alone at the next table and out of the blue, he started singing the first couple of lines from this song.
Since I live in Houston and it's a miserable place 6 months in the year with awful humidity, high crime, crooked Democrat politicians and horrible traffic, it's a great place to live. I'm not being sarcastic.
You can say that again I was brought up with him and most of the pack Sammy deano Frank Peter Lawford missed anyone I'm sorry I'm 70 but still feel like young person don't look or feel 70
Not only is this guy one of the best singers ever put on this planet, He's a fine actor as well. But besides that, this man makes me split a gut more than a lot of comedians. His talent and personality will never be reproduced. He's the "King of Cool"!
My father (a fan of "true country" and big band era music) hated Dean, he thought he was "smarmy". I think Dean was so talented and a fantastically charming performer so he goes on my CZcams playlist. Sorry, Dad!
The friendliest, most accessible, most knowable, most genuine. You felt like you knew this man, and you knew that you loved him, and he loved you back. :)
Old Deno singing "Houston" and Tony Christie singing "Amarillo" both give high honors to the Lone Star State, our beloved Texas!!!!!!!! MANY THANKS!!!!!!!!!
I was a young girl when his variety show was on TV but I loved that show. What a talented, funny man. And good looking too! He could always make me laugh.
Bar Cat Hey take it easy Pally, so @Camop 1992 made a mistake about which particular cowboy movie Dean was making at the time - there’s no need to be rude about it😕🤠
Linda Shelley ... I agree. He was probably playing in one western or another at that time. Plus, it’s easy to get dates and movies mixed up. I mix things up all the time, ‘cause my memory is no where near what it was when I was younger. I once thought a song depicted the Vietnam era, but I was wrong. Someone pointed that out, but was nasty about it.
Proud Straight White Christian Conservative ... I was a little kid when “Rio Bravo” came out, but I watched that as well as just about every movie and show that Dean was in/on/hosted. Same with John Wayne, etc. I loved westerns, from the earliest to the latest, and was a tomboy, climbing trees and playing in the woods and playing cowboys and indians. And I’m so glad a lot of the greats that are gone now are on film/video, etc.
I remember when I was growing up my dad loved to watch Dean Martin's show every week and he would laugh. Dean Martin our family loved you. So sad now you've passed away. I wish we had you back so that you could mentor Today's singers and comedians. Miss you Dean Martin.
The world is a sorry place. Losing such a star in his own right. He puts a smile on any sad face even today. He was such a talent. Actor. singer. comedian and could even sing in Italian. (I know he was Italian but effortless). He is still greatly missed. Deano we still love you
Reminds me of too bravo also. I'm glad to know that there are other people that still understand the greatness of Rio bravo days and the days of Dean Martin singing
On this day in 1965 {September 16th} "The Dean Martin Show" debut on the NBC-TV network... The show lasted nine seasons, with a grand total of 264 episodes... The show's theme song, "Everybody Loves Somebody", had entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart fifteen months earlier on June 21st, 1964 at position #72; and on August 9th, 1964 it peaked at #1 {for 1 week} and spent 15 weeks on the Top 100... And on July 26th, 1964 it also reached #1 {for 8 weeks} on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Track chart... As stated above it knocked the Beatles out of the top spot, and the song that replaced it at #1 was the Supremes' first of twelve #1 records, "Where Did Our Love Go"... The day the 'Martin' show debut, his "Houston" was at #21, for its 2nd week, on the Top 100 {that would also be its peak position on the chart}... Mr. Martin, born Dino Paul Crocetti, passed away on Christmas Day of 1995 at the age of 78... May he R.I.P.
I absolutely love this song! I can't get enough of it; I can't get enough of any Dean Martin song. He was an amazing entertainer. He was naturally gifted. And he looks good in a cowboy hat, too.
The Dean Martin Show: for an hour a week he made people smile and laugh and left them feeling good about life. What a concept, look into into it TV. Of course, there are no more Dean Martins out there. Oh well, they can always kills more zombies to keep people entertained I guess.
I grew up watching his Thursday night variety show when new, and after all these years I still remember alot of the eps.It was on for years because it was very good. I was a little kid when it started and was age 14 or 15 when it was canceled. My parents, brothers, and myself all watched it, never missed an ep. It had singing and comedy acts, kinda like the Carol Burnett Show, and lasted an hour. I loved it, even as a child.
When i was a kid my cousins would play my aunt's album of Dean Martin and we all began to howl like wolves. Also remember his variety show at the time.....only super bowl commercials were more expensive, i have read in a documentary. In my mid 20s i heard Memories are Made of this and loved it. Today i am in my mid 60s.......not howling now just thinking he is one of the best singers period and classiest.
Well it's lonesome in this old town Everybody puts me down I'm a face without a name Just walking in the rain Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston I got holes in both of my shoes Well I'm a walking case of the blues Saw a dollar yesterday But the wind blew it away Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston I haven't eaten in about a week I'm so hungry when I walk I squeak Nobody calls me friend It's sad the shape I'm in Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston I got a girl waiting there for me Well at least she said she'd be I got a home and a big warm bed And a feather pillow for my head Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston Well it's lonesome in this old town Everybody put me down I'm a face without a name Just walking in the rain Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston
To me, he was the ultimate crooner. I also liked Bing and Frank, but Dean just had such an easy going great voice that always looked like he was having fun. Turns out that the constant drinking was just part of the show.
An effortless on screen comedian in the same way Bing and Bob were in the Road to movies, effortlessly funny sometimes without even saying a word they could just make you laugh or smile, and those guys were great all rounders. Today when they try to recreate variety shows the hosts are only good at one thing, usually comedy, but Dean and especially Bob could do everything that their guests could, singing, dancing, joking, everything. I'm only 22 but I listen to the old pepsodent bob hope shows, and half the time I don't even understand what his jokes are referencing but his delivery is so on point it still makes me laugh regardless of how clueless I am...
Dean's so talented on that harmonica, he doesn't even need to hold it to his mouth. And who'da thought you could sing and play the harmonica simultaneously. He was such a cutie.
I hate that everyone assumes he's always drunk, Dean was a notorious "pro" who was much more disciplined that he let on. Yes he didn't rehearse but he memorized all the dialogue and even the blocking, studying it for a week before shooting. This is recounted in many books and interviews. If you look at any of his songs or skits, he ALWAYS cracks up, it's just him. Just check out Conan O'Brien next time, all his little ticks, hops, fey skipping, it all started with this man.
+cindy westlake It's nice to know I'm not alone in that way of thinking, thanks for that! Judging by what he's wearing, Dean was probably shooting " Rough Night In Jericho". So the odds on him being drunk are low to zero. Dean was a notorious "pro" when working. There are a gazillion books that confirm this. He took his work extremely serious, and his work ethic on "Rio Bravo" not only impressed Howard Hawks but Duke Wayne as well. In my mind he was robbed of at least an Oscar nomination, he was that good.
+Tommy Petersen Yeah, but he was no Foster Brooks. (JK ... I never got the I'm-a-drunk humor.) I know little about Dino's history, but it stands to reason, with all he accomplished, that he either was play-acting the inebriation or else he was a HIGHLY functional alcoholic.
+srbaruchi As his son Ricci, explained, in his book (written in 2002), that, when his dad and Jerry Lewis' comedy duo broke up, he needed a new 'persona' going into his single career, and he saw a couple of comedy acts elsewhere, saw that it got a lot of laughs, and settled on that! In fact, Dean was a reasonably moderate drinker - Sinatra, once, when asked about it, replied that, ..."I SPILL more than he drinks...!!!" And Ricci said, in his book, "....that I never saw him drunk in my l life..." It was, indeed, an 'act' , as you suggest, but, grew to be just all part of the craziness and mayhem that WAS the show!!!
Music is everywhere around us, we just have to listen, it came in those ages not now in the century call 21st! even though i've never was in that time called ''70's and 60's'' , in some way every time i listen to those songs of people like Dean Martin, Donald O'Connor Gene Kelly Nancy Sinatra ELVIS PRESLEY, Frank Sinatra Debbie Reynolds Fred Astaire Louis Armstrong Mickey Rooney Judy Garland Eddie Fisher Ella Fitzgerald and so on, i feel like i was there when these people were, there's something amazing about them and their songs.. its just incredible! my friends think i'm a weird in some kind of way that i listen to very old songs and stuffs but i don't know if songs have ages to listen, so its not the matter of ages its the matter of who we choose to be, so why not let us be our self with the beautiful music that we enjoy without seeing the time, when we can just mesmerize in it
On this day in 1965 {September 12th} "Houston" by Dean Martin peaked at #2 {for 1 week} on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Tracks chart, the week it was at #2, the #1 record for that week was "You Were On My Mind" by the We Five... It reached #21 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart... Between 1964 and 2006 the Steubenville, Ohio native had twenty nine records on the Adult Contemporary Tracks chart, twenty made the Top 10 with five* reaching #1, "Everybody Loves Somebody" {for 8 weeks in 1964}, "The Door Is Still Open to My Heart" {for 1 week in 1964}, "You're Nobody till Somebody Loves You" {for 1 week in 1964}, "In the Chapel in the Moonlight" {for 3 weeks in 1967}, and "In the Misty Moonlight" {for 2 weeks in 1967}... His twenty ninth and last charted record was a duet with Martina McBride, "Baby, It's Cold Outside" {#7 in 2006}... Dean Martin, born Dino Paul Crocetti, passed away at the age of 78 on December 25th, 1995... May he R.I.P. * He just missed having two more #1 records when both his "Somewhere There's A Someone" {1966} and the above "Houston" peaked at #2...
He's incredibly funny, mannered, charming , and what a sweet, beautiful voice.
He brings joy and laughter to many throughout his career. He's special.
Year 2023, I'm still, regularly listening to his music.
He's fondly missed and will always be remembered.
❤ Dean Martin.
He was….
Thank you for sharing this wonderful memory about DM.
Six months before Dean died, I was dining in a Beverly Hills restaurant, Dean was alone at the next table and out of the blue, he started singing the first couple of lines from this song.
I hope you clapped.
@@junefarmer4467 LOL. Nope but I did say to him “Now I don’t have to pay to see you in Vegas!”
He gave me a warm smile. He was a very nice man.
You needed to clap
@@jonathanlane5432 What a character. RIP.
May his soul rest in peace. Amen.
Dean Martin was a natural comedian. And what a voice, heavenly!
It's hard not to smile when you watch Dean. They broke the mold with these guys.
guglielmo64 No, it's not hard, it's impossible not to smile😊
@@lindashelley3635 So agree with you.
I reckon so....what a voice.
Love Dean Martin 🌈🌈
Agree!!! Hahahaha!! Such a charming person!
The coolest man on the world.
Never seen anyone sing with such a big smile on their face.
It's lipsync to a recorded version.
And your point is.
@@jonathanchartrand3351
He actually sang live.
@@EmmaRiddle543 You have no idea of the pre-recorded soundtrack to a live performance. It's impossible to sing with a big smile like that.
Since I live in Houston and it's a miserable place 6 months in the year with awful humidity, high crime, crooked Democrat politicians and horrible traffic, it's a great place to live. I'm not being sarcastic.
*"There WILL NEVER be another "Dean Martin!!"*
Could not agree more❤️. A wonderful man and singer🎶
He needs water
You can say that again I was brought up with him and most of the pack Sammy deano Frank Peter Lawford missed anyone I'm sorry I'm 70 but still feel like young person don't look or feel 70
Sad to say it, but it's the truth. Wish I could have seen him and Sammy Davis Jr. together in Las Vegas.
Dino martino, what a man.
He was the consummate entertainer. He had it all - the voice, the smile, the perfect pitch, and the charisma. Miss him.
Looks!
he always smiles and it's impossible not to smile too when seeing how much fun he's having. true legendary man with a magical voice
Not only is this guy one of the best singers ever put on this planet, He's a fine actor as well. But besides that, this man makes me split a gut more than a lot of comedians. His talent and personality will never be reproduced. He's the "King of Cool"!
You can tell he loves his music. Miss him and his talent. 🇺🇸🙏🎚🕊🥀💐
Dean always made the job look fun. He was great in many movies, especially "Airport". As an American with Italian roots, I love this man.
Wonderful talent.
I miss you Dean.
Dean, I think was one of the funniest men alive and he was great with comedians and other actors. What an entertainer.
He definitely had style!! Tremendous entertainer. The comedy roasts were so funny! Loved horses too.
My father (a fan of "true country" and big band era music) hated Dean, he thought he was "smarmy". I think Dean was so talented and a fantastically charming performer so he goes on my CZcams playlist. Sorry, Dad!
Dean could do it all, he had the looks the swagger the voice, he could even sing country great.
And he could act.
@@carbo3017 he was handsome and looked great on screen
He made it all look so easy. In teality, it was Dean's talent, fine voice and winning personality. May God bless his memory.
What a sense of humor - those facial expressions !!!!
the improvised bit with the harmonica at the end is friggin priceless. gotta love dino.
The friendliest, most accessible, most knowable, most genuine. You felt like you knew this man, and you knew that you loved him, and he loved you back. :)
Old Deno singing "Houston" and Tony Christie singing "Amarillo" both give high honors to the Lone Star State, our beloved Texas!!!!!!!! MANY THANKS!!!!!!!!!
Handsome! Incredible voice! They don't make MEN like this anymore!
Yeah, they do. Women just look for thirsty boys nowadays.
no they don't make em like they once did.
@@forkinpig You’re not looking in the right places.
One of the most charming entertainers who ever lived. Dean just made you smile.
He had more Class than Sinatra ever had Period May he RIP Dean you are sadly missed etc
I was a young girl when his variety show was on TV but I loved that show. What a talented, funny man. And good looking too! He could always make me laugh.
You're wrong bro. He is the most charming
He was charming and brilliant!!!
Reminds me of "Rio Bravo" , the way Dean looks here. Love that movie 👏🏻🌟❤️‼️
That's why he's dressed that way. He came right from the set. He did a couple weeks in western clothes.
@@Jerknoir-a-saurus he may of been on set for Bandolero or sons of katie elder
Bar Cat Hey take it easy Pally, so @Camop 1992 made a mistake about which particular cowboy movie Dean was making at the time - there’s no need to be rude about it😕🤠

Talented singer and actor, with a great sense of humor. We Greeks say about the Italians: "One face one race"! God how we miss Deno!!!!!!!!!
This guy was and still is a classic - just great.....
Tinvernon
Gosh, that harmonica bit is so good...Im 25 and wish I was during this grand ole time
I remember when I was growing up my dad loved to watch Dean Martin's show every week and he would laugh. Dean Martin our family loved you. So sad now you've passed away. I wish we had you back so that you could mentor Today's singers and comedians. Miss you Dean Martin.
After all those years still the king of cool
There is no other Entertainer in the USA who give us more joy than he...…...
Wasn't he just frigging gorgeous.
Watching him on tv back in the day made you feel happy, relaxed ……
Elvis, & Dean ...2 of the handsomest men around 🙍
The world is a sorry place. Losing such a star in his own right. He puts a smile on any sad face even today. He was such a talent. Actor. singer. comedian and could even sing in Italian. (I know he was Italian but effortless). He is still greatly missed. Deano we still love you
It's incredible how he can combine comedy and a great song just so effortlessly, and make you smile through the simplest of things.
I wish I could have been there for that. I really think Dean loved entertaining people with his wonderful smooth voice.
Put the Dean Martin Show on Prime Time TV and watch your ratings soar!
I always thought Dean was so handsome!
Génial
and he realy is
He isn’t ugly though he is charming
Me too. He was one of my crushes
So good - so funny - Dean's smile is infectious.
He was the most beautiful man on the plant 🏴🏴🏴 xxxxxxxx
What a STAR was the irreplaceable Dean Martin, there’ll never be another God bless him. 🇬🇧
Reminds me of too bravo also. I'm glad to know that there are other people that still understand the greatness of Rio bravo days and the days of Dean Martin singing
Dean Martin never fails to put a smile on my face. Thank you Grandad for introducing him to me 💓
One of the best for sure.
He was the best! I grew up listening to all his music! My parents had all of his albums! Still love listening to him!

I absolutely love this song! I can't get enough of it; I can't get enough of any Dean Martin song. He was an amazing entertainer. He was naturally gifted. And he looks good in a cowboy hat, too.
God, these Dean Martin show clips are just killing me. Such amazing talent.
One of the smoothest voices that was ever in entertainment
What a Joy!...his show was to watch, each week. There's NEVER been anything like it, since...!..FACT!..
Almost forgot how beautiful he was.. So handsome. And fun. Always have loved that song .. I wish i had appreciated. More when he was alive
Dean was a great singer and actor. One of the best actors from by gone years.
Coolest dude ever !!!!
Oh I just loved Dean Martin and miss him. He was so comfortable in front of the camera, clowning around and singing, and the harmonica? Hilarious!!
What a great sense of humour Dean had !
He just oozed charisma.
In my humble opinion, he was all around the best entertainer ever !
He is something else! IRRESISTIBLE and CHARMING!!!! ❤️
The Dean Martin Show: for an hour a week he made people smile and laugh and left them feeling good about life. What a concept, look into into it TV. Of course, there are no more Dean Martins out there. Oh well, they can always kills more zombies to keep people entertained I guess.
Love watching Dean Martin show
I love to hear Dean sining Houston. And the harmoica he is surpose to be blowing on. He is great.
I grew up watching his Thursday night variety show when new, and after all these years I still remember alot of the eps.It was on for years because it was very good. I was a little kid when it started and was age 14 or 15 when it was canceled. My parents, brothers, and myself all watched it, never missed an ep. It had singing and comedy acts, kinda like the Carol Burnett Show, and lasted an hour. I loved it, even as a child.
When I need Cheer, listen to Wonderful Dean. Agree with another fan,wish Deans Tv Show back on Cable!,♥️♥️♥️♥️
This is the America I miss.
God help us all.
Dean, I must say--your harmonica game is on point!
A good fun song, with Dean singing it.
Loved Dean Martin and he was a great entertainer and singer loved his style and he was a great actor and he was funny to rest in peace Dean ❤🤗💋🌹🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Broke the mould when they made this fella. What a talent he was and I reckon he lived life as it should be led! Thanks for the share.
Dean Martin...legend of a man !!
When i was a kid my cousins would play my aunt's album of Dean Martin and we all began to howl like wolves. Also remember his variety show at the time.....only super bowl commercials were more expensive, i have read in a documentary. In my mid 20s i heard Memories are Made of this and loved it. Today i am in my mid 60s.......not howling now just thinking he is one of the best singers period and classiest.
Well it's lonesome in this old town
Everybody puts me down
I'm a face without a name
Just walking in the rain
Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston
I got holes in both of my shoes
Well I'm a walking case of the blues
Saw a dollar yesterday
But the wind blew it away
Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston
I haven't eaten in about a week
I'm so hungry when I walk I squeak
Nobody calls me friend
It's sad the shape I'm in
Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston
Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston
I got a girl waiting there for me
Well at least she said she'd be
I got a home and a big warm bed
And a feather pillow for my head
Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston
Well it's lonesome in this old town
Everybody put me down
I'm a face without a name
Just walking in the rain
Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston
Goin' back to Houston, Houston, Houston
To me, he was the ultimate crooner. I also liked Bing and Frank, but Dean just had such an easy going great voice that always looked like he was having fun. Turns out that the constant drinking was just part of the show.

Love Dean is the absolute most talented singer there’s ever been.
Hello Sharon, how are you doing?
I always loved Dean Martin in a good western movie!!
He cheered up everyone and had a great voice. The King of Cool.
I miss Dean so much. I adored him when I was a kid. Now that I'm older, he would be a real inspiration if he was around today.
It doesn't get any better than Dean.
great man, singer and good looking,, perfect dude

A personality like no other.
Hello Patricia, how are you doing?
I remember this song, it was in the 60's and I was only 5 years old the singer did sing in a jail in Houston. I just love the song.
Dean is like the best classic singer in the whole universe
Love ya Dino
AMEN!!
Although I did love Dino, I think Frank Sinatra, along with millions of his fans, might disagree with that statement.
He was one of the top performers who always makes. You smile , laugh😜
Gosh how I love this man. He could do it all, and so handsome too.
Great entertainer! They don't make 'em like Dean anymore!
A natural comic. A world class singer.
I hate that everyone assumes he's always drunk, Dean was a notorious "pro" who was much more disciplined that he let on. Yes he didn't rehearse but he memorized all the dialogue and even the blocking, studying it for a week before shooting. This is recounted in many books and interviews.

Awful smoker though, would become the end of him.
I love his singing and can he ever crack people up. I love him.
A nice song! I was there in 1997 first time in my life and probably the last one .. A good place!! Wonderful people!!
Runs on with a cigarette in hand, throws it on the ground to get harmonica out...imagine that happening on TV in 2020 :-)
And a revolver on his hip!
Great 'ole days!!!
I really liked Dean he was always smiling and having fun on his show never took himself so serious
this makes me so happy
Genius. Loved to sing and by God could he sing.
Music is everywhere around us, we just have to listen, it came in those ages not now in the century call 21st! even though i've never was in that time called ''70's and 60's'' , in some way every time i listen to those songs of people like Dean Martin, Donald O'Connor Gene Kelly Nancy Sinatra ELVIS PRESLEY, Frank Sinatra Debbie Reynolds Fred Astaire Louis Armstrong Mickey Rooney Judy Garland Eddie Fisher Ella Fitzgerald and so on, i feel like i was there when these people were, there's something amazing about them and their songs.. its just incredible! my friends think i'm a weird in some kind of way that i listen to very old songs and stuffs but i don't know if songs have ages to listen, so its not the matter of ages its the matter of who we choose to be, so why not let us be our self with the beautiful music that we enjoy without seeing the time, when we can just mesmerize in it
