DEAN MARTIN: Essential (2 CDs)

Dean Martin started his early life as a jack of all trades dabbling in delivering bootleg liquor, boxing and working as a croupier, at the same time singing with local bands calling himself 'Dino Martini'. It was however his laid back crooning style which was to give him the break and direction he was looking for. Disc 1 features 'Italian Love Songs' plus bonus tracks and Disc 2 is the 'Pretty Baby' album again with bonus tracks. This set is a look at Martin's impressive body of solo work minus his beloved Rat Pack!
