Dean Martin was born Dino Crocetti on June 7, 1917 in Steubenville, Ohio. He was very versatile as a singer, actor, comedian, and host of his own TV variety show from 1965 to 1974. He teamed comedian Jerry Lewis in Atlantic City in 1946 and was a member of the famed Rat Pack, along with Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Joey Bishop, and Peter Lawford.

His big hit was That's Amore, which went to the #2 spot on the chart in 1953. Between 1955 and 1969, he had thirty charted records on Billboard, including two Number One hits, which were both Gold Records as well.
