Browse piano sheets by Dean Martin on Zen Virtual Piano. Dean Martin was born Dino Crocetti in Steubenville, Ohio, and took up the drums as a hobby as a teenager. He worked in a steel mill and briefly boxed under the name Kid Crochet, and his speakeasy experience put him in contact with club owners, resulting in his first singing gigs. A boxing name, a steel mill and a speakeasy sit far from a recording studio, and the distance gives his start a good deal of colour. With a fixed nose and a boost from his friends in the nightclub world, he became Dean Martin, styling himself after the top male vocalist of the time, Bing Crosby, and met Frank Sinatra in New York. He released his first single, “Which Way Did My Heart Go?” and was first paired with the comic Jerry Lewis. Changing a name and adopting a model singer show how a career could be built by choosing a style. During the decade-long partnership of Martin and Lewis he had hits such as “Memories Are Made of This,” “That’s Amore,” “Powder Your Face With Sunshine” and “You Belong to Me,” all for the Capitol label. A string of hits while sharing the stage with a comic partner shows a singer working inside a double act. As a solo act he was wowing crowds in Las Vegas, impressing critics and audiences in a series of dramatic film roles, scoring on television with Dean Martin Show specials for NBC and hitting the charts again with “Return to Me” and “Volare.” A comic partner and a solo act on the stage, in drama and on television show a performer who kept widening what he did. The Los Angeles Times wrote that, although he was best known for comedy, his more than 50 films include a handful of critically acclaimed serious roles: The Young Lions with Marlon Brando and Montgomery Clift (1958), Some Came Running with Sinatra (1959) and Howard Hawks’ Rio Bravo with John Wayne (1959). In 1962 he left Capitol Records and signed with Reprise, and in 1964 he recorded “Everybody Loves Somebody,” which beat the Beatles to become the No. 1 hit in America for one week. A comedian in serious film roles and a singer topping the chart in the year of the Beatles show how far his reach extended. He established an unheard-of one-rehearsal-only rule for a weekly television program, and he once said, “Wanna know why this show’s a hit? The reason is that it’s me up there on that screen.” A one-rehearsal rule suggests a show built around spontaneity.
