"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.
