Dean Martin Makes A Music Video

Dean Martin actually made a music video that was shown on MTV back in the early 1980's. The video, the only one Dino ever did, was for his song Since I Met You Baby. It was directed by his son Ricci. I don't believe that I've ever posted it before. I wanted to share it with you guys. It's definitely got that 80's feel to it. Let me know what you think.

  1. Brilliant blog, brings back a lot of memories, I love these old movies, only they are not easy to find anymore. I am a huge fan of Dean Martin, Frankie and one of my biggest, John Wayne. Clint Eastwood also, specially his role in Paint your wagon, also Lee Marvin.... My first time on your blog, love it!
    Keep up the great work!
    Colin.

  2. What a cool video, it does absolutely smack of the 80s (you've got to love the gal with electric pink lips at the beginning), yet there's no denying the retro vibe Dean brings to it. Very neat - and brand new (both the song and vid) to me, thank you for posting this great find, Keith!


    Have a stellar day!

  10. I think I may have seen this, an ex boyfriend was very much into Dean and Frank, he actually met Frank twice! He said it was harder than meeting the Queen. He was rather strange. (the ex boyfriend not Frank! lol)

  13. What a hoot! Didn't know he made a video and yes, definately 80s. It reminds me of the Robert Palmer video with the ladies in short black dresses. Hope you are well Keith!

  19. Hey Shopaholic. Thanks for the response. That's cool that you've seen this before. It's awesome that your ex-boyfriend was into Sinatra even if he was strange. Never thought I'd see the Queen and Frank mentioned in the same sentence.

  29. ive never seen this before and thought that after reading what was before the video- it would just be another YouTube music vid that someone made themselves...i loved it! never mattered how old Dino was, he has always had that swagger and his voice never went south on him. he will always be one of my favorites. great post!
