Have you heard of "Kid Crochet"? No? I do not know if Wiki speak to you and do not expect me to check! "Kid Crochet is the first nickname Dino Crocetti (Crocceti hook) there is a step to make him an amateur boxer.
Actor supporting roles but essential as "Rio Bravo"; but above SINGER which left us very many recordings as "cool attitude" or if you prefer Whisky and Cigarettes! "King of the Cool" with crooners such as Sinatra, but the list is long ... Jerry Lewis cinema for example!
He left us a sad Christmas Day in 1995 at the age of 78 ... but his legacy is impressive!
These 100 hits Legend show all styles sung by Dean Martin, both American and Italian.
In Italian as "Volare" or, equally known, "In Napoli" in which mandolins abound! Or the mixture of languages in "That's Amore"
In the US, the list is long: "Everybody Loves Somebody" or the famous "Basin Street Blues" or confusion worthy of Babel "The Man Who Plays The Mandolino" that reminds many of us our youth.
French songs sung in American as "Under The Bridges Of Paris" (Under the Bridges of Paris!).
But other "Bye Bye Blackbird" moult over by singers and especially Melody Gardot (superb that too!)
Well there you have CENT songs by Dean Martin! Enjoy.
This set I definitely recommend and strongly!
Christian.
