Dean Martin kam 1917 als Dino Crocetti in Steubenville, Ohio/USA auf die Welt. 1946 tat er sich mit dem Komiker Jerry Lewis zusammen und die beiden tingelten durch die Clubs von Atlantic City. Als Duo Partner besangen die beiden zu dieser Zeit auch einige Schallplatten. Mit dem Titel "That Certain Party" gelang ihnen 1948 der Sprung in die amerikanischen Popcharts - Platz 22. Hollywood wurde auf dieses außergewöhnliche Gespann aufmerksam und ab 1949 entstanden etliche komödiantische Filme, die zu wahren Kassenschlagern wurden. Obwohl Dean Martin auch in den 1950er Jahren weiter Filme mit Jerry Lewis drehte begann er verstärkt sich allein als Sänger zu etablieren. Seit dem Jahr 1950 war er ständiger Gast in den amerikanischen Popcharts. Nach der Trennung von Jerry Lewis (Ende der 50er Jahre) spielte Dean Martin erfolgreich in großen Filmen Charakterrollen. Er wurde als Schauspieler und Sänger gleichermaßen zu einer Kultfigur. Zusammen mit Frank Sinatra und Sammy Davis Jr. bildete er das legendäre "Rat Pack" und die drei mischten gemeinsam Las Vegas auf. Dean Martin bekam ab 1965 eine eigene TV-Show, die ebenfalls ein Renner wurde. Dino Latino, wie er genannt wurde, schaffte zwischen 1948 und 1969 mit 37 Titeln den Sprung in die Pop- Charts. Kritiker berichteten übereinstimmend, dass er seine Gesangsverpflichtungen, egal ob im Studio oder auf der Bühne, niemals sehr ernst nahm. Vermutlich ist das auch die Ursache für seine unheimlich entspannte, lässige Art die Titel zu interpretieren. Vielleicht half auch zusätzlich das eine oder andere Gläschen Whiskey, den er über die Maßen schätzte. Einer seiner größten Fans war kein geringerer als Elvis Presley. Dean Martin starb 1995 in Beverley Hills.
