Dean Martin Cool Then, Cool Now

Dean Martin Cool Then, Cool Now a book and 2 CDs by Hip-O Records      Hardback Book:  62 pages     

What a fun read and nostalgic trip through the words of Kevin Spacey, Shirley Maclaine, Jerry Lewis, Robbie Williams,  Arnold Palmer and one of Dean’s daughters,  Gail Martin Downey.    Wonderful family photos included that is like a walk through Dean’s private home life, his professional work life and the joy he spent with his friends, the Rat Pack, his Brentwood poker playing buddies and at his charity events.   A lovely tribute to a man described in glowing terms by celebrities, fans and family.    It was like sharing memories while paging through a family album.    Dean Martin was one of those stars that you felt as though you knew because he had that mischievous fun down to earth way of coming across.   Singer, actor, sometimes dancer, husband, father, friend and Ratpacker.    Larger than life still.   What a great tribute and you get to see and hear him – 2 CDs included.    I thoroughly enjoyed this book and music.
