Dream
with Dean is a 1964 studio album by Dean Martin, produced by Jimmy Bowen.
This was
the first of two albums that Martin released in 1964. Dream with Dean peaked at
15 on the Billboard 200. The album features "Everybody Loves Somebody"
with a quartet accompaniment, Martin was to re-record the song with strings
later in 1964, and it would become his second single to top the Billboard Hot
100.
The
initial Billboard review from 22 August 1964 praised the selection of material
on the album and wrote that "As long as the performer is Dean Martin,
you've got to see the words "sales" and "airplay" light
up".
Joe
Viglione on Allmusic.com gave the album three stars out of five. Viglione said that if the album
had "one drawback, it is that the 12 songs are incessant in their
providing the same atmosphere...not only a very pleasant listening experience,
it shows what a tremendous vocalist Dean Martin truly was". Vigilone
describes Martin as performing as if "he were a lounge singer at 1:15 a.m.
as the Saturday night crowd is dwindling".
Dean
Martin(born Dino Paul Crocetti; June 7, 1917 – December 25, 1995) was an
American actor, singer and comedian. One of the most popular and enduring
American entertainers of the mid-20th century, Martin was nicknamed "The
King of Cool" for his seemingly effortless charisma and self-assurance.
Martin
gained his career breakthrough together with fellow comedian Jerry Lewis,
billed as Martin & Lewis, in 1946. They performed in nightclubs and later had numerous
appearances on radio, television and in films. Following an acrimonious ending
of the partnership in 1956, Martin pursued a solo career as a performer and actor.
Martin
established himself as a notable singer, recording numerous contemporary songs
as well as standards from the Great American Songbook. He became one of the
most popular acts in Las Vegas and was known for his friendship with fellow
artists Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr., who together formed the Rat Pack.
Starting
in 1964, Martin was the host of the television variety program The Dean Martin
Show, which centred on Martin's singing talents and was characterized by his
relaxed, easy-going demeanour. From 1974 to 1984 he was roastmaster on the
popular Dean Martin Celebrity Roast, which drew notable celebrities, comedians
and politicians.
Throughout his career, Martin performed in concert
stages, nightclubs, audio recordings and appeared in 85 film and television
productions. His relaxed, warbling, crooning voice earned him
dozens of hit singles, including his signature songs "Memories Are Made of
This", "That's Amore", "Everybody Loves Somebody",
"You're Nobody till Somebody Loves You", "Sway", "Ain't
That a Kick in the Head?" and "Volare".
Blue
moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart without a love of my own
Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for someone I really
could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms could ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
When I looked to the moon it turned to gold
Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart without a love of my own
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked the moon had turned to gold
Blue moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart without a love of my own
Without a love of my own without a love of my own.
