Dean Martin

Dean Martin (born Dino Paul Crocetti in 1917 in Steubenville, Ohio) was an American singer, actor, and comedian who became one of the most popular entertainers of the 20th century. He first gained wide attention as part of the comedy duo Martin and Lewis in the late 1940s, then built a long solo career in pop and traditional pop, with a relaxed, crooning style that earned him the nickname the King of Cool. He remained a staple of American entertainment until his death in 1995.
