I laughed so much as I watched this one today.
2. The door is still open to my heart
Dean Martin and love songs seem to go together. I read somewhere how one of his children said he was not a good father, but he was a good man. To me he always seemed so smooth, just cruising through life with a smile and a happy-go-lucky attitude. I have always admired him for this. I wish I could be like that. No worries.
My Mother used to sing this song, but I didn’t put it on her page, so here it is. “You gotta let your poor heart break a little.”
I have heard this song on a country station, and am so glad to have found Mr. Martin singing it. This song is so true. Many time in life we have friends and opportunities, and we let them slip through our fingers.
I have this scene on video, and find it so funny. John Wayne singing “Everybody loves somebody sometime.” This is perhaps Dean Martin’s most famous love song.
6. Somewhere there’s a someone
As I was checking things out I came across this one, and it touched my heart. There are lots of lonely people out there, and this number can bring hope that there is someone out there for you. You just have to find that someone that is right for you.
There was an advert once in the “Farmer’s Weekly” magazine in South Africa. At the back there is the personal section. Some guy wrote: “Looking for a wife with a farm and a tractor. Send a picture of the tractor!” How’s that for true love?
I like this song. In this song the writer says he is still in prison, and his love holds the key. That is so true. So many people are prisoners in their minds because of things that have happened to them. I am one too. It is so sad that people like Dean Martin had to pass away. It would be so nice if he could live forever. He reminds me of my favorite uncle, and he passed away recently. Goodbye Uncle Geoff Cartwright.
He is so much fun. This is from one of the Dean Martin shows. I have seen snatches from various shows on the TV. This was one of my favorite love songs sung by Gentleman Jim Reeves.
9. Send me the pillow that you dream on (live)
He is such a good entertainer.
“My whole life has changed.” Isn’t that the truth!
11. Hey Good Lookin’ – with Country Singers
Did there used to be a two dollar bill in the USA?
12. Send me the pillow that you dream on – One of my favourite love songs by Dean Martin
This is the record version, which is better quality than the live recording.
13. Houston
I have been down and out many times, so I really feel with this one.
14. Mr. Wonderful (live) – Mr. Funny
He is so entertaining, singing for Ronald Reagan.
15. Things – with Nancy Sinatra
When I used to sing this one, I felt so sad and blue, but he makes it feel exciting!
16. Second hand Rose
This is such a lovely song. Dean Martin puts so much feeling into this number.
17. My Woman, my Woman, my Wife
Such a touching tribute to a wife. I first heard this one by Marty Robbins.
Here Dean Martin looks so sad, and I know he went through a lot of sadness in his life. I hope he made it through the pearly gates. Later on, I will add on some more of my favorite love songs.
I have often heard this one on the radio.
This was a hit when I was a kid.
Still one of my favourites.
22. That’s Amore
“When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie.”
23. Return to me
Sung so beautifully.
One of his biggest hits.
Thanks for the memories.
26. Isle of Capri
I heard this song from my mother.
27. I’ve grown accustomed to her face
28. With Goldie Hawn
29. Interview – 1983
30. I take a lot of pride in what I am
32. You’ve still got a place in my heart
This is one of my favourite love songs by Dean martin. Lovely pictures too.
34. Let me call you sweetheart – with Kate Smith
35. Cheek to cheek – with Juliet Prowse
I laughed so much on this one.
36. Corina, Corina
I first heard this song sung by Mickie Most.
Different pictures.

Different pictures.
Skydiving.
41. Frontier doctor – with Foster Brooks
42. Remembering D. M. – a tribute
43. Person to person with Edward Murrow
See the whole family at home.
46. The D. M. show – first episode
47. D. M. memorial
Many of the songs I link to on the YouTube seem to get removed. Maybe they were pirate copies, or maybe they were stolen by the Pirates of the Caribbean. If any of you see Johnny Depp, ask him if he has seen the songs.
