I can name 3 singers who are levels above Sinatra from that era. Dean Martin, Johnny Hartman and Arthur Prysock . All 3 were as smooth as that come with The kind of baritone voices that defied description. I like Sinatra but in all honesty he's a bit overrated. He was good but there's levels to this and Johnny Hartman was 5 times better as was Prysock and both could Interpret a song equally as well as Sinatra and in my view which is shared by many, BETTER. Especially Hartman. Unfortunately Sinatra benefited from The help of the mafia and the fact that This was still the Apartheid era in America where the black community in so many levels, was not going to get the same as advantages and advancement and push that their white counter parts enjoyed, and that definitely applied here as well. And Dean Martin was effortless in his delivery and that husky, baritone smokey lush voice could sing a telephone ☎️ book and make it sound like Romance.

Mr. Smooth. I like his flow better than Frank's actually, he's sort of like Sammy that way. Dean always seemed like the warmest one of the Ratpack to me, very funny.

Are you still looking for contemporary artists with the crooner vibe? Michael Buble is the obvious choice but also Harry Connick Jr. Any vocal from the "When Harry Met Sally" soundtrack would be great (Harry was pretty much a piano prodigy, so lots of great piano for J). I also think Leslie Odom Jr's self titled album is old school crooner/ jazz.

I’m 68 years old, and Dean Martin was from my parent’s generation, but I loved him. When my oldest son was a tiny baby, I would sing That’s Amore to him, and he’d instantly stop crying. lol

This song was featured in Cher’s movie “Moonstruck”. Another from that movie is “It Must be Him” by Vickie Carr - a sort of a female crooner

As I have read and observed Dean on the Radio/Nightclub with Jerry played the White Face clown to Jerry's Tramp as opposed to being the straight man.

When I was 15 I worked in a very posh Italian restaurant in California. Under the same roof as this 5-star restaurant, there was also a huge banquet hall that seated 350 people. This banquet room was the place where a lot of very wealthy people had their wedding receptions. After the guests had finished dining on steak and lobster along with ravioli and other pasta dishes, one of my jobs as a dishwasher and busboy was to clear the tables which all slid under the large stage at the back end of the banquet hall so that people could dance. One wedding reception I worked I could tell was for a very wealthy and important Italian business man. You could always tell by the decorations and the meal when it was a particularly wealthy individual having their reception. I cleared the tables and went back into the kitchen to wash the dishes. You could hear the music playing very clearly in the kitchen. Most of the time it was records or some local band would be playing for the guests to dance to. I heard the owner of the Restaurant say over the sound system, "we have a couple of very special performers for this evening". Then I heard the song That's Amore begin to play and Dean Martin singing the song with someone else. I thought it must be some impersonators because there was no way Dean Martin was singing at such a small event as a local wedding. I pushed the swinging door open and peaked out at the stage and sure as heck there was not only Dean Martin but also Frank Sinatra singing on the stage. It was indeed a very wealthy person's wedding reception because to have Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra singing at your wedding you had to be wealthy. One of my bosses walked up behind me and said I know you are enjoying the show but you need to get back to work. That was the most fun I had washing dishes in my life washing them while listening to the real and live Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra sing.

“That’s Amore” came from the Martin & Lewis movie, “The Caddy”.

Dean's singing style is more relaxed and natural. He evokes more emotions with his singing, while Frank Sinatra was more musically precise and technical. Both are great singers. But to give a comparison, Frank's songs are priceless pieces of beautiful art, while Dean's songs are the comfortable sweater you love to wear. Frank would have admitted the same thing. He worked hard at his craft and saw his voice as a tool or instrument. He knew and practiced techniques and phrasing to get the most out of every note. Where when he was asked about Dean's singing he said, "Dean has no clue what he's doing. He just opens his mouth and sings."

He was nicknamed "the King of Cool" for a reason lol. He sang like he was standing right next to you in a restaurant and by no means would it have felt unwelcome.

You need to do “Ain’t that a kick in the head” if you want to hear Dean the Crooner. Dean has a great many hit songs.

Dean's voice was a little smoother than Frank's, but they had different styles. Listen to him sing, Dean always a smile in his voice and never took himself seriously. Loved his TV show years ago. Look some of those up on KZread.

Not all his stuff is based on Italian culture -- He was a true crooner. He had a great crooner voice, but he was also a pretty damn good comic actor as well! He played the playboy, heavy drinker kinda guy brilliantly! He made a bunch of hilarious little movies in the 60's with his buddy, comic legend Jerry Lewis.

His dancing was world class. So incredibly underrated. Look at all the available videos out there of Sammy doing drums, dancing, etc.. He was excellent at everything.

You mean you don't agree that Joey Bishop was the most talented member of the Rat Pack? ; )

This was used as the theme song for the 1980’s movie “Moonstruck “, starring Cher and Nicholas Cage. It’s a romantic comedy about a woman from an Italian family, and it’s worth watching. I’ve probably watched it upwards of 20 x over the years.

This is the music my mom introduced me to as a child, so yeah, I couldn't help but love it. Loved watching his movies as well, especially the ones with Jerry Lewis.They were hilarious!

This was one of my mom's favorites!! We grew up with Dino, Frank, Bing, Jerry Vale, Nat King Cole, Andy Williams.....Lawrence Welk.... My goodness....I have myself in tears.... life seemed to almost make sense.... I miss you mom and dad!

There's a song Dean sings in the movie "Rio Bravo" - "My Rifle, My Pony, and Me". It's amazing. BTW - Rio Bravo one of the great westerns, and Dean's acting in it was absolutely wonderful. Singing, acting - comedy, drama, action, Dean could do it all. Then, in the late 60s, he became the #1 star on TV as well, just for good measure.

One of Deans best was Every Body Loves Somebody, definitely worth a listen.

I just love watching young people discover the music from yesteryear. You two are simply adorable.

It's great to see younger people still enjoying this music

There have been so many great singers and songs. I grew up in the 70s. I heard this on the radio. As kids, we thought this song was fun.

To me, Dean is the Best of the pack. He had his own show snd he was a great actor and the most attractive.

@Divamarja_CA

I think the word “crooner” doesn’t specify the quality of one’s voice but instead, the style of the delivery combined with style of song. Andy Williams had a beautiful voice and a smooth delivery, for sure. But he sang all kinds of songs so I’d probably label him as a pop singer. Some might call him a crooner as well!

Love Dean Martin, what a voice! Memories are made of this is his best song in my opinion.

Fun song and a big hit in it's day. In my opinion Dean Martin was not only the most handsome but also the most interesting member of the Rat Pack. I would love to see a movie of his life, who would you cast as Dean? I'm still thinking on this one. Dean's "Return to Me" is beautiful. Then there is the romantic comedy "Return to Me" 2000, starring David Duchovny and Minnie Driver. Minnie's Dad owns an Italian Restaurant and he and his friends are always arguing who is the better singer, Frank or Dean. 😂 It is a fun movie with 1960's romantic comedy vibes. ❤️ If you watch you must be sitting down and watching from the very beginning. It is beautiful how it opens with Dean singing Return to Me.

Dean Martin's Welcome to My World is my favorite Dean Martin song. You MUST listen to that one for sure!

I grew up with this music because of my parents being Italian. It's so great to see people enjoying this music again.

So this song is a tribute to his Italian roots. You’ll also like “Ain’t That A Kick In The Head”. His version of “Volare” is probably the best with the lyrics translated into English (well, part of the song for his version). but as for me, I love the original jazzy version by Domenico Modugno the best.
