Dean Martin (born Dino Paul Crocetti, June 7, 1917 – December 25, 1995) was American actor and singer between the mid-1950s and mid-1960s. Despite the fact that Martin couldn’t read music, he recorded more than 100 albums and 600 songs, racking up major hits such as “That’s Amore”, “Volare”, “You’re Nobody Till Somebody Loves You”, and his signature tune “Everybody Loves Somebody”.
His acting career achievements include being the “ladies’ man” counterpart of Jerry Lewis in a series of comedies, and a main member of the Rat Pack, which also included Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop. Martin often seemed to be dead drunk on national TV in his long variety show run on NBC. The fact that America saw his show as charming and wholesome anyway is a testament not only to the culture of the time but to Martin’s own great charm.
Dean was well-known as a family man and his “drinking” was just an act. It used to bother Frank Sinatra—who was a big drinker—that Dean went home early to be with his wife and kids, rather than go hitting the bars with him. In a recent biography, one of Dean’s sons related that the only record of Dean that he and his wife played at home was one of his country western albums.

I KNOW the weather outside is frightful but I don't have a delightful fire to warm myself on. This song is on 24-7 at Sainsbury's, it's made me go crazy (in a bad way!) as I stack bottles of pop. I can no longer enjoy it. :(
