Dean Martin was an American singer, actor, and comedian of Italian origin. Born on June 7, 1917 in Steubenville, Ohio, he left a lasting legacy in the entertainment industry. Known for his smooth voice and charismatic stage presence, Dean Martin captivated audiences with his performances. He was part of the iconic Rat Pack alongside Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop. With a career spanning several decades, Dean Martin became one of the most beloved entertainers of his time.

As a versatile artist, Dean Martin's music resonated with listeners across different genres. His songs were characterized by their timeless appeal and effortless charm. Some similar artists who share his style include *Bobby Darin*, *Sammy Davis Jr.*, *Perry Como*, *Wayne Newton*, *Kay Starr*, *Harry Connick Jr.*, *Doris Day*, *Andy Williams*, and many more.

Dean Martin's influence extended beyond music as he also had success in film and television. He starred in numerous movies and TV shows throughout his career, showcasing his comedic talent alongside his singing abilities. Despite achieving great fame and recognition during his lifetime, Dean Martin remained humble and down-to-earth until his passing on December 25th, 1995 in Beverly Hills, California.

In 1982 the Jasmine Label was created producing LPs and Cassettes. The new label initially focused on licensed Jazz and Personality recordings. Later in 1985 Jasmine successfully launched its Country & Western catalogue. 1990 saw the release of Jasmine’s first CDs.
Appears also on labels as: JASMINE only and as a company (with manufacturing and distribution roles).

When Frank Sinatra launched the Reprise label in 1961, his friends and cronies gradually signed for the label; Dean Martin was a case in point, joining their roster in early 1962, upon the expiry of his Capitol contract. This compilation features his first two Reprise LPs, "Dean Martin - French Style" and "Dino Latino", the latter being a collection of largely Spanish favourites; both albums would be successfully reissued after Dino hit big with 'Everybody Loves Somebody', a couple of years hence.

Also included, as bonus tracks, are Dino's first few Reprise singles, 'Tik-A-Tee, Tik-A-Tay', 'Just Close Your Eyes', 'From The Bottom Of My Heart (Dammi, Dammi, Dammi)', 'Who's Got The Action?', and 'Sam's Song' , the latter a duet with Sammy Davis Jr.

This is the first time this body of work has been thus compiled, while the bonus tracks are notoriously difficult to find elsewhere on CD.
