Format:Audio CD
Dean Martin had two separate hit-making periods - in the fifties with Capitol and in the sixties with Reprise. The early sixties were not successful in the charts, although Dean continued to record albums and was also kept busy in other ways. You would normally have to buy one album to get his Capitol music and another to get his Reprise music. This collection spans both periods, although there is also a second volume, so you may end up buying two CD's anyway.
This collection contains most of the songs that are associated with Dean, including Memories are made of this, That's amore, Volare, You're nobody till somebody loves you, In the chapel in the moonlight, Houston and Everybody loves somebody. Dean's first solo hit, Powder your face with sunshine, is also included. It was no match for Evelyn Knight's version, which was number one for many weeks, but it was a start. Evelyn was at the peak of her career while Dean was just beginning.
Dean is often compared to Frank Sinatra, but their music was quite different. I enjoy both of them in different ways. While Frank's music was rooted in the big band sound of the late thirties, Dean's was altogether more relaxed - Dean was the classic crooner. In the sixties, his music took on a country flavor. It was never country enough for him to establish credibility amongst diehard country music fans, but for those who enjoy both pop and country music, Dean's sixties music is particularly appealing. Dean does not twang, so a lot of people who don't like country music can still enjoy his music.
If you only ever buy one Dean Martin album, this is the one to buy. You can always add volume 2 later.

In my record/cd collection, I have stacks and stacks of Sinatra and Tony Bennett, etc but only one Dean Martin tape....a very old one. I recently saw the outstanding "Rat Pack" in London and was reminded of the great songs Dean recorded. I've had this cd for a week and it's brilliant. If you are hesitating as to whether or not you should buy it...DON'T! Twenty one excellent tunes sung in that irresistible style....I've been singing them all week!

Before I bought this CD I was someone who only had a passing interest in Dean Martin, now I am a die hard fan! This is the best CD I have ever owned, and it comes with my highest recommendation. There is not a single track that isn't of the highest quality, but the highlights are: "Everybody Loves Somebody", and "Your Nobody 'til..." This truely is a masterpiece, and a worth gift for Christmas, anyone would apreciate.
