My late grandfather was a massive Dean Martin fan, and he was a great singer himself. When my mother was in hospital he went to visit her, and on the way out visited the hospital radio room, where he sang this song across the announcement system to the entire hospital lol
I feel sorry for people who haven't had an appreciation for Dean as a Singer, Actor, and most of all as a person. There will never be another (unfortunately) like him.
Dean Martin is the best singer in the world, I know Frank was great , but for me Dino was the one and only , a brilliant easy singing voice opened the mouth and out came the voice of the best crooner , country singer and any kind of singer that's ever been!
@itspipexd4035 yes they was. Not sure why there is a ' dean was better than frank' discussion? They was both great singing together, and both great solo.
Best quote of all time was his. "I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When you wake up in the morning, that's as good as you're gonna feel all day".
It doesn't get any better than this ... when they ask who's the fool in the corner crying I say little old wine drinker me ... what a singer ... memories!
Growing up my my dear late Mom would always be playing Dean Martin records...loved him then and I still do! There will only ever be one Dino. He was a great entertainer, singer, actor and super cool and nice guy. : )
As the great man once said “I feel sorry for someone who doesn’t drink, because when they wake up that’s the best they’re going to be all day” WHAT A GUY 👍👍👍👍
Another was ; For a man that’ll choose a life of booze I have no sympathy at all. My sympathy lies with you sober guys cause us drunks are having a ball!
"If you can lie on the floor without holding on then you're not really drunk." Dean Martin. To which I feel compelled to add: "Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snake bite, furthermore always carry a small snake." W C Fields.
I still can't see why so many people raved so much about Frank Sinatra - in my opinion, this guy blew him into the weeds! Listen to how smooth that voice is........
My dad actually performed this live at a show , several times he's not not well now but whenever I hear this it reminds me of him and how he was. Makes me smile
I would of love to be his daughter Deana when she came home from school and Elivs was sitting there with her dad. That was the day Elivs told her " I might be king of rock and roll but your dad is the king of COOL". What a day that must of been. Something Deana could remember forever.
+barrygioportmorien1 just before he died he did a music video singing a song country style. he wore all black and sat at a swimming pool or something. I saw it about 30 years ago. I heard it come on the tv and ran from the kitchen from preparing dinner to watch till the video ended. mY italian husband was quite jealous...why I dont know..:)
The original King of Cool. Laid back, but far more professional than he liked to let on. Sinatra idolised him and the hoods respected him. He knew how to talk to them but never let them boss him around. One of a kind!
Dean Martin singing a country song is, for me, the perfect combination--because my late father, like Dino, was an Italian-American, and my late mother grew up in California listening to country music.
Saw Sinatra in Las Vegas 40 years ago. The following night saw Dean. Sinatra had superb backing orchestra which complimented his great voice, but Dean Martin had the personality and style that made his performance more memorable. A true great voice and performer and up there with the greats!!
A beautiful human. Dean Martin. A great entertainer w soft beautiful voice. He's missed. This clip has got the best sound quality. I'm thankful for sharing.
This song was my Dads favourite x he would sing it all the time in his club and honestly he did it so good at his passing we had this song 😢and had lots of his friends singing la la la la behind us really made it so much easier x thank you to them xx
Sheer bliss!! One of Deano's greatest hits which reminds me of the good old days that we will never see again. The present generation cannot know how my generation enjoyed ourselves. Thanks for the memory.
I agree with the other person that wrote about old Blue eyes, Deans got them all beat, his style his personality and his great voice,he s the best, so much class,
Listen to Dean Martin in the blue station wagon on 8 track tapes on the way to vacation with my family. Dad was a big fan 6 hours to Califorina.... WoW Those were the days my friends!!!!!
My friends father went to see him in London and waited to see him at the stage door along with a lot of other fans he asked them all back to his dressing room and almost did another show just for them. Dean said 'I was on a train and I saw a sign which said drink Canada Dry so I stayed on the train and did'. Don't seem to make them like this any more.
"I matched the man behind the bar for the jukebox..." Years ago, on a quiet day, a bartender would offer a customer at the bar to "match" him for the jukebox. This meant the customer would usually put up 2-bits to play songs, as songs generally were 10 cents a piece or 3 for 25 cents. Then the customer and bartender would roll dice or cut cards. If the customer beat the bartender, the bartender would "match" the quarter, dollar or dime and the customer gets to play twice as many songs. Customer doubles his song money. Don't cost the bartender anything either as he gets his "match" back when he opens the jukebox coin box at the end of the night plus the customer's. BUT...the happy customer then ends up sitting at the bar to hear to all his songs play out AND while he is sitting there he buys a few more drinks for himself and maybe the other friends who are with him. Pretty slick way to keep customers happy and the bar in business on a slow day.
I first heard this song on a jukebox around about the 70's. A group of 4 or 5 of us had been assigned to do a survey in the west end of the city which took the whole of the day. We called in at the local pup for a quick lunch and somebody put their 'nickel' in, and out came "LITTLE OLD WINE DRINKER ME". That was it! I' ve been a 'fan' ever since.
Dean for me was the performer of the pack, smooth with a little twinkle in the eye................. the others were all great, Sammy could pull some great impressions............. Frank had a bit of power in his voice, and of course the films and his reputation made him the icon we know today. I guess the leader of the pack. Still love these old classics.......... timeless.
Something effortlessly charming about Dino,s voice! Biggest irony in music history! The wine drinking which kept his larynx in fine tune eventually rotted his liver! He sat in a cafe one afternoon looking incredibly giant, his fans couldn't bear to look! His legacy is timeless romantic music!
This song is very special to me, I was a friend and co worker of Hank Mills, the author of this song, we were working one Sat. night when he wrote this song, he let me have some input on the lines, however, I did not write any of them. Bill Towry Nashville, Tn.
Took over the jukebox at "The Sun" in Waterbeach, Cambs, UK in 1997 and played this track 27 times on the trot, before the landlord pulled the plug !! Happy Days......
this reminds me so ok much of my nan that has past away i love and miss her soo much.. the days get worse and worse..I try and heal but it's hard it's been two weeks.. and it reminds me of my papa signing it to my nan..😢😢😢
My late grandfather was a massive Dean Martin fan, and he was a great singer himself. When my mother was in hospital he went to visit her, and on the way out visited the hospital radio room, where he sang this song across the announcement system to the entire hospital lol
Goodonya Grandpa!!😄👍🏻
Fucking awesome
Bloody legend xx
I have loved this song most of my life. I am 74yrs old and it is lovely to hear it again. Bless you Dean.

and comedian. he was a natural.
@@keithlivett7377 patt y cutlppaer
True
I agree
I remember my dad used to sing this when he was pissed
That's one way to relieve your anger.
Same, was my dads song when pissed. Greetings from Scotland!
James Hope are you from mullingar
hahaha
PowerPoint Master pissed means drunk
Sinatra followed the words but Dean martin sang the song and made it so natural,true talent jd
This man didn't have to try to sing, it just flowed out of him, he was brilliant.
Hello Debbie, how is things going with you?
This was my great grandfather's favourite song. When he passed away at 90, we played it at his funeral. He would've loved it!
Dean Martin had a voice smoother than hot chocolate being poured slowly over a velvet cushion...
hahaa love it !
You hit it on the head, damn you should do something with that talent on description.
Love And still listen to Dino's Christmas Albums every year its like a Tradition in my house etc
Boom 💥
Dean Martin is the best singer in the world, I know Frank was great , but for me Dino was the one and only , a brilliant easy singing voice opened the mouth and out came the voice of the best crooner , country singer and any kind of singer that's ever been!
I always like Martin's voice over Sinatra's
Definitely. Dino was twice the singer Sinatra was
They were both legends..
@itspipexd4035 yes they was. Not sure why there is a ' dean was better than frank' discussion? They was both great singing together, and both great solo.
What a man Dean was, I've been playing this song for over 50 years and can never tire of it.RIP Deano.
DEAN WAS A SUPER TALENT. SINGER, COMEDIANT, ACTOR.
CHEERS DEAN.
LOVE HIM STIL.

Best quote of all time was his. "I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When you wake up in the morning, that's as good as you're gonna feel all day".
It is a stupid and somewhat funny quote you understand that right?
Sinatra
I love when my man sings this 😆 he always sounds like he’s just back from the pub 😂😂😂
If we could hear a few of these songs on the air to-day the world would be a better place.
I agree, I hardly ever hear anything before 1970 on the radio anymore. sad.
Dean me donne envie de partir sur les routes avec un bourbon et du soleil plein les yeux vers Las Vegas. Amitiés de France...
You are so right!
You are so right.
It doesn't get any better than this ... when they ask who's the fool in the corner crying I say little old wine drinker me ... what a singer ... memories!
The king of cool no one will ever be as good as he was
Can still see my mother dancing around the house (while doing her housework) to this. Awesome Memories :)
Hello Dear, how is things going with you?
Didn't you ever help her with the housework? Or did you just use to sit there watching her work, lol?
Dean died when I was 15, to this day the best voice I've ever heard, and such an array of songs he could sing, a marvellous man and very missed
The only song I will attempt to sing in public these days,yes after a few drinks Wonderful song and wonderful man.
You cannot mistake Dean Martin's voice, Oh I Love his voice :-)
Hello Dear, how is things going with you?

Martin grey /Frank Sinatra said that
Anyone that doesn't love Dean Martin... you, have a problem. Dean was the greatest singer of all time.
I still can't see why so many people raved so much about Frank Sinatra - in my opinion, this guy blew him into the weeds! Listen to how smooth that voice is........
totally agree with you george dean martin all the wat
***** way lol
me too, agree, relaxing to watch him and listen.
dino is defiinitlely better!!! dino all the way
Spot on.
If you were any more laid back that Dean Martin you would fall over.
JoeyDWild Totally agree he looked eternal and always contemporary a world without him is a sad place indeed.
+JoeyDWild so funny...he and robert mitchum.. two cool guys.
JoeyDWild Lol I wish I could like this comment a million times.
My dad actually performed this live at a show , several times he's not not well now but whenever I hear this it reminds me of him and how he was. Makes me smile
touching and sweet.
Sadly my Dad lost his fight for life a short while ago, now he and mom are together again
cliff theobald stay strong, one love
Elvis said he was the coolest guy in the world.

If you can't see the talent and entertainer in Dean Martin, you are not alive! GOSH! He's excellent!!
We are lucky that Dean had a love for country music, I love all of his country recordings, as well as his other great songs.

This was my dad and mine song = great times

+Chris Stone yes !
+Chris Stone too much charisma
Du hast recht. Best I know
And also a good wine drinker, right?

Unforgettable classic. Effortlessly sung as usual by Dean. The man oozed class.
Coolest man that ever lived. Style and class.
Saw Sinatra in Las Vegas 40 years ago. The following night saw Dean. Sinatra had superb backing orchestra which complimented his great voice, but Dean Martin had the personality and style that made his performance more memorable. A true great voice and performer and up there with the greats!!

The old timers use to play this song at a dive bar i frequented...loved it...what a classic!!@😂

NICE VIDEO. DEAN WAS A SUPER TALENT, SINGER, COMEDIANT,ACTOR.
VERY GOOD SONG. SUPER FOOTAGE.
CHEERS DEAN!
GREETINGS FROM BULGARIA 🇧🇬

Thomas Pillans One of my dads favorites as well. I miss him...
I like that's somh
This song remembers me of my husband George mcateer great memories for me ❤❤❤
One of the best male vocalist of all time, better, much better than Sinatra!
Whoa careful...you better hope Sinatra's crew doesn't see this comment. (As Don Rickles might say), you might end up on a hook in the freezer 😂
With out a dout
Both were amazing singers, but only one could surpass them: Bing Crosby.
FYI Frank Sinatra was also known as The Voice
@@rudenssinjari73 "Ol' Blue Eyes", too.
A voice that flowed - much like the red wine thankfully. Brilliant voice and brilliant man.
Dean made a damn good cowboy AND he could sing country with the BEST of 'em.
Pure class thank you dean god bless you x
I agree with the other person that wrote about old Blue eyes, Deans got them all beat, his style his personality and his great voice,he s the best, so much class,
Not bad for a working dude from a steel mill in Steubenville, Ohio!

Hello Susan, how is things going with you?
Have been listening to this for 40 years and still enjoy it.
My friends father went to see him in London and waited to see him at the stage door along with a lot of other fans he asked them all back to his dressing room and almost did another show just for them.
Dean said 'I was on a train and I saw a sign which said drink Canada Dry so I stayed on the train and did'.
Don't seem to make them like this any more.
+Kate Wild thanks for that lovely story...he was always joking wasnt he ? such a class act
+Kate Wild Funny stuff, so when you say London, I assume you are talking about the place in Ontario, or is it London, England?
Your
Dad was so lucky to have met him.. loved the story..!!
+Shelagh Paul How good is that. all the very best.

KentarEast this is a class piece of info. Thanks.
thanks for the explanation. really found it interesting
all my life i thought he sais asked the man :) cheers

absolute fantastic music.. im only 27 and i love and respect all of this stuff. Love live :)
god bless alan(was only 44) but this was his song at his funeral...i miss you
MY GOD So smooth. Frank couldn't live with this mans voice
I first heard this song on a jukebox around about the 70's. A group of 4 or 5 of us had been assigned to do a survey in the west end of the city which took the whole of the day. We called in at the local pup for a quick lunch and somebody put their 'nickel' in, and out came "LITTLE OLD WINE DRINKER ME". That was it! I' ve been a 'fan' ever since.
Great memories - still miss Funky and the boys!!!
This song reminds me of my old mate Pete Fenn , married an Ozzie girl and emigrated back in the 70s, good luck Pete where ever you are.
Lucille Ball said his voice was so smooth you could cut butter with it.
What a silver throated devil,(and I say that with the deepest respect) this man could sing, vibrato voice ,class, he had it all
Dean for me was the performer of the pack, smooth with a little twinkle in the eye................. the others were all great, Sammy could pull some great impressions............. Frank had a bit of power in his voice, and of course the films and his reputation made him the icon we know today. I guess the leader of the pack.
Still love these old classics.......... timeless.
Alltså, han var helt enkelt UNDERBAR, som skådis och hans underbara röst,...MEN JUST DEN HÄR LÅTEN ÄLSKAR JAG.

👍
DEAN IS PHENOMENAL SINGER.
CHEERS DEAN!
GREETINGS FROM BULGARIA 🇧🇬
Both robert mitchum and dean makes this song so cool! like the wine itself , the older they get, the better!
Hello Jessie, how is things going with you?
Something effortlessly charming about Dino,s voice! Biggest irony in music history! The wine drinking which kept his larynx in fine tune eventually rotted his liver! He sat in a cafe one afternoon looking incredibly giant, his fans couldn't bear to look! His legacy is timeless romantic music!
My dad would sing this to me I couldn’t think of the name for years and I’ve finally found it
Effortless talent. Loved this guy so much. I still do. His music, his comedy and his charisma are second to none in my eyes.
This song is very special to me, I was a friend and co worker of Hank Mills, the author of this song, we were working one Sat. night when he wrote this song, he let me have some input on the lines, however, I did not write any of them. Bill Towry Nashville, Tn.
+Bill Towry not as special as the guy who wrote it though
smooth
beautiful... i know for a fact we would get along. this is my absolute fave...if only i got born earlier. big smiles
Still my father in-law’s party piece and at 77 he still sings it!
Took over the jukebox at "The Sun" in Waterbeach, Cambs, UK in 1997 and played this track 27 times on the trot, before the landlord pulled the plug !! Happy Days......
I remember when it was the national anthem of Glasgow kid xx
A great song Richard. This brings back awesome memories-- I love the harmonica- Dean was a fabulous singer and we don't get them like that anymore.
Dean Martin was born to sing this song.
i am 84 now my wife was completely crazy about Dean and so was I
When I got home from sea a bar used by us Fishermen had this on the jukebox. I played it every trip. Great memories,thanks.
I LOVE Dean! What a singer
What a Singer, sadly missed, RIP Dean.
HE WAS JUST BRILLIANT MY LATE HUSBAND LOVED HIS SONG'S X

Know how you feel my dad passed away in October, we played this at his funeral, I sung this with him many times. I miss him so much.
Growing up in the sixties I didn’t idolize the Beatles, Dean Martin was the man.
I wish I'd been alive to see him live!!!
