Friday Music



Blasphemy, but Dean Martin was probably a better singer than Frank. From the recordings I have he was a hell of an entertainer. His on stage drunk persona made him famous, yet usually he was stone sober when he performed.

Here is the song performed as originally written by Cole Porter:



For comparison, here is Frank doing the tune:

When I think abou Dean Martin I normally think he wasn't that great. But then I hear one of his songs again and I realize he really had a very smooth voice and what I'm remembering is a parody of his singing. He really was a great singer.

But I love Frank too.
