"Everybody Loves Somebody" is a song written in 1947 by Sam Coslow, Irving Taylor and pianist Ken Lane.

Although written almost 20 years earlier, by 1964 the song had already been recorded by several artists—including Frank Sinatra--but without much success. Lane was playing piano for Dean Martin on his Dream with Dean LP sessions, and with an hour or so of studio time left and one song short, Lane suggested that Martin take a run at his tune. Dean was agreeable, and the small combo of piano, guitar, drums and bass performed a relatively quiet, laid-back version of the song (coincidentally, Martin had sung it almost 20 years earlier on Bob Hope's radio show in 1948, and also on Martin & Lewis' NBC radio program at about the same time). Almost immediately Martin re-recorded the song for his next album, this time with a full orchestra and chorus. His label, Reprise Records, was so enthusiastic about the hit potential of this version they titled the LP Everybody Loves Somebody to capitalize on it.

Ricci Martin(September 20, 1953 – August 3, 2016) was an American musician and singer. He established his band, The Pack. In 1977, he released the álbum Beached in collaboration with The Beach Boys member Carl Wilson and toured in the United States and Canada as the band's opening act. Wilson later became his brother-in-law when Wilson married Gina Martin.

He moved to Utah in 1990 and later joined the trio Ricci, Desi & Billy; a modern day version of Dino, Desi & Billy. The act had previously included his brother Dean Paul Martin, who died in a plane crash in 1987. In 2002, Martin published That's Amore: A Son Remembers, reflecting on his relationship with his father.

For almost ten years of his musical career, he was a performer in the show His Son Remembers: Dean Martin’s Music and More, a tribute show to his father Dean Martin.

Everybody loves somebody sometime

Everybody falls in love somehow

Something in your kiss just told me

My sometime is now

Everybody finds somebody someplace

There's no telling where love may appear

Something in my heart keeps saying

My someplace is here

If I had it in my power

I'd arrange for every girl to have your charms

Then every minute, every hour

Every boy would find what I found in your arms

Everybody loves somebody sometime

And although my dream was overdue

Your love made it well worth waiting

For someone like you

If I had it in my power

I'd arrange for every girl to have your charms

Then every minute, every hour

Every boy would find what I found in your arms

Everybody loves somebody sometime

And although my dream was overdue

Your love made it well worth waiting

For someone like you.
