Sings

by Dean Martin

Product Description:

Recording information: 1953.

Recorded in the early 1950s at the height of his fame, this collection of pop favorites features Dean Martin beginning to develop the vocalizations of the permanently relaxed, bon vivant character he would perfect a few years later. While both the songs and the orchestral arrangements are on the schmaltzy side, Martin's breezy good nature lifts material like "Who's Your Little Who-Zis!" and "Come Back to Sorrento" out of the ordinary, with an intimate delivery that flatters the ear, while he sounds most comfortable on the big band arrangements of songs like "Johnny Get Your Girl," "You're the Right One," and "Louise."
