so just enjoy one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite singers Dean Martin. Did you know he was a great family man, and that the drunk creep you saw in movies and on TV was all an act? That voice, ooohhhh that voice.
There was a bio out within the last couple of years about him. I haven't got a chance to read it, but the reviews basically said the same thing, that the drunk thing was a put-on.
Great voice-- I love "Kick In the Head." I also love the Rat Pack movie's, particularly Ocean's 11.
He wasn't a drunk? Hell, if that's the case, he should get an Oscar--cause he surely had me fooled. I should check with my drunk Uncle Clyde, perhaps he's been faking for the past 40 years too
When he would appear onstage with the Rat Pack he'd be drinking iced tea (the standard drink to use in movies or onstage when you want people to think you're drinking whiskey)
He fell apart late in his life after his son, a fighter pilot, died in a crash.

My friends from college who held "Rat Pack Happy Hour" are going to be so disappointed by this news!
