Two great singers, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin sing a medley of the classics. The two men joined forces together on The Dean Martin Show. They were all smiles and strong vocals as they two-stepped side-by-side.
Their dancing and vocals flowed in-sync with one another. They were dressed the part too, with matching tuxedos, but different color pocket squares. Their song compilation consisted of the following jams from various artists: “Love is Just Around the Corner” by Bing Crosby “My Kind of Girl” by Frank Sinatra “But Beautiful” by Nat King Cole “Love” by Frank Sinatra “I Get A Kick Out of You” by Frank Sinatra “Goody Goody” by Frankie Lymon “Guys and Dolls” by Stubby Kaye and Johnny Silver from Guys and Dolls.
They joked on stage as they sang. Impressively they never missed a beat. Clearly, the performance was for the audience’s enjoyment and also their own. The two singers took turns leading in the various songs, playing off of one another’s energy as they went along. They only sang excerpts of each of the songs. Otherwise, they would have had a concert on their hands.
Both men have left great legacies from their life’s work. Thanks to today’s technology, we can all relive or experience for the first time, moments like this with the click of a button.
