Okay, I admit it, I love Dean Martin. I love old Jerry Lewis/ Dean Martin movies and I don't know, I just love the way Dino sings. I'm not suggesting that you go out and buy full catalogue here but a dollop of Dean can enhance any serious record collection. The Best Of Dean Martin pretty much covers the handful of tunes you'll want to throw on at your next cocktail party. "Sway" is my fave. I also love "Volare" and "That's Amore" for top notch Italian Cheese. "Return to Me" and "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You" are also pretty groovy. I watched a bio on Dean the other day and I have to say, the guy endured more than his share of tragedy with a lot of grace and you really gotta love that about him because, he always made it look like he was dancing through life, drink in hand, smile on his face.
