Gently on my mind - Dean Martin (very funny video)

[007garman]

I grew up with this sort of entertainment took it for granted but it was really good and funny don't think there's anything like it these days.

[orangehornet57]

Would this have been as much fun had he rehearsed more? Ironically, Glen Campbell played and sang harmony on some of Dean Martin's recordings during his studio musician days. They later appeared on each other's shows. I once sold a sealed copy of Dean's Gentle On My Mind album on ebay.

[ww2berry]

@mariogroen niet bij ons op de tv

[ken6663]

Dean worked 1 day a week and his show lasted 9 years! Franks show did'nt last 1 year and was a flop, and he probably worked every day! now who do you think was the best! its simple Dean martin was the best of all time!!!!!

[bobimusmcjimbo279]

Its "Gentle On My MInd".....

[moviechick9620]

GAWD i love him!!!!!!

[Drblooter99]

Like all the best comics, he could do anything, and you laugh.

Funny bones, it's called.

[thecubanism]

Never ever be another, no-one even comes close, people like this should be given a licence to live for ever.

[curlaz63]

The man! Even though it's easy just to think of him as a great, slick, funny entertainer, he actually had incredible vocal control and was capable of great beauty. Check out his live version of I Left My Heart In San Fransisco to see how delicate he could be.

[1tanglung]

[missfreshstart]

The king of cool!

[860313]

Oh my loid...he was so wonderful. When he sat on the rose I laughed so bad!

"You should have a lot of fun tonight, because before the show I put some scotch into the air-conditioner." XD

[bushey26]

oh yes, the king of cool, sexy and charisma! What an extraordinary voice!

[GMBogart]

Who else did it all? Radio, recordings, night clubs, TV (and "live" too in the early days and essentially "live" on tape later for ten years), Vegas, and movies -- and with amazing success - and for decades! We can be thankful for the miracles of records, tape, and now DVD allowing Dean to provide fun/entertainment forever.

Interactions between humans was much more subtle back then, look at the expressions and movement on his face , you did not need to verbalise to get the laugh, these days you need to curse and swear and be soooo up front to get some laughs.

Big difference you do not see panache these days like you can see here from DM and Frank Sinatra, Gerry Lewis and others

[crossfadefan101]

we miss you dean!

[safetosaydontquoteme]

Funny how little things amused people back then while now we have to do so much for a laugh.

[dcaballo8]

I adore him!

[dinovilles]

loved the book and i love love dean martin...

[LEIMALOCCA]

@dinovilles THERES A BOOK ABOUT DEAN? WHATS THE NAME????

[dakotahstr]

I bought that book from online..It's great isnt it?

[sixchild19]

I know they did this stuff without his knowledge. If you can get the book Backstage with Dean Martin you will find out a lot of tricks they played on him. He was probably making sure the chair was there . Either way it was funny and enjoyable.

[71leezippy]

@sixchild19 Dino liked it that way and sure did his share of those things to them. The King of Cool will be forever gentle on my mind.

[sixchild19]

Boy did they like to put Dean through his paces. He never knew what to expect. Even put a rose on his chair. He just kept on singing with the music not missing a beat. Now that is talent!!!

[lou1606]

i think he knew there was a rose on the chair!!!

not once in the whole clip does he movie away from the chair!!

i think he was directed to be in front of the chair all the time

[Wishtodie]

@sixchild19 It should also be noted that Dean never rehearsed any of his shows. he would constantkly be "messing up", but he was such a great "ad-libber", that it made the show even funnier!
