"I may be the King of Rock n' Roll, but Dino is the King of Cool." -Elvis Presley
For nearly 50 years, entertainer Dean Martin was a little bit of everything: half of one of the most popular comedy teams of all-time, a chart-topping crooner, a widely-acclaimed dramatic actor, and the dynamic host of one of the longest-running variety shows in television history. But it was his recording career that made him into the music legend, thanks to his diverse range of hits including romantic love songs, country and western classics, the Great American (and Italian) Songbook, and everything in between. This is the story of the quintessential American entertainer like you've never seen or heard before.
