    "We had a genius in our midst; unrecognized, probably unfulfilled; and more than likely the most underrated, greatest straight man that ever lived."

    Jerry Lewis on Dean Martin

    It's so true. He did everything so well - singing, TV, movies, radio. I can think of no contemporary performer or artist that can perform superbly across all these outlets. He truly was, is, a legend. The king of cool

    He was not an alcoholic - it was an act - there was always apple juice in that glass.

    When the moon hits your eye
    Like a big pizza pie, that's amore
    When the world seems to shine
    Like you've had too much wine, that's amore

    Dead but not forgotten.
    Long live Deano!

    Some great 'roasts' featuring Dean, Rickles, Ronald Raegan and loads more on YouTube, well worth checking out.
