I had the honor and the privilege of being one of eight backup singers for Dean’s show for six wonderful years. What you saw of Dean in his entertaining persona is exactly how he was to work with, warm, charming and funny. No ego stuff. It was like working with one big happy family every week. Such great memories. RIP, Dean, I truly miss you.
Who else is binge-watching Dean Martin, Johnny Carson, Rodney Dangerfield, Don Rickles, Frank Sinatra's interviews or talkshows ? I miss these innocent times and classy people.
I heard Dean Martin for the first time in the late 5o's. I was a very young girl then and I fell in love with him (so did my Mom). That was in Paris France where I was born. When I came to the US in 1965 I was ecstatic to be able to see him on TV. He is gone, I am now 75 yrs old and I still love him ! :)
