Subject: Frankie Sinatra or Dean Martin?
Again, some old time singers but still left an impression on all of us. Who did you like to listen to and what songs? Frankie Not-so-hotra or Dean "drink" Martin? ;D
For me I have to say Dean Martin.. I swear everytime I hear "That's Amore" I think of an Italian restaurant that played that everytime we ate there... Not sure if he first sang this song but Wham Bam Thankyou maam is a saying we all know (if for the wrong reasons) ::)
Subject: Re: Frankie Sinatra or Dean Martin?
Definately Dean Martin. I was madly in love with him at the age of 6 and had his picture on my mirror. My parents had three of his albums and I listened to them constantly. I always begged to stay up and watch his show, but very rarely was allowed to--it came on at 10 p.m. on a school night. I was so very sad when he passed away--part of my childhood vanished. :'(
I never had any interest in Frank Sinatra. But I did like one of his records: "Something Stupid."

I guess, if I had to choose I'd go with Dean Martin, but I'm more of an instrumental lounge-type: Mancini, Conniff, Morricone, Esquivel, Getz, etc.

Quoting:
I've always viewed Sinatra as the biggest sleaze who ever lived. Sorry, but I really, really hated him, there was just something about him that got on my nerves.
Hence, I think I'll go with Dean Martin, although he wasn't much better. Their style of music just seemed very boring and uninspired, give me 60s and 70s rock, soul and r n b any day.

Sinatra got on my nerves, too. I wouldn't go so far as to say I hated him, though. I always thought he seemed like he thought he was it on a platter...better than everyone.
Dean Martin, on the other hand I loved. Who can forget him and Sammy Davis Jr in Cannonball Run. He was a great comedian. Then there is Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. He seemed more accessible than Sinatra.
Subject: Re: Frankie Sinatra or Dean Martin?
Going solely on the music - sleaze and ego notwithstanding - I have to say Sinatra.
As for favorite songs:
"The Lady is a Tramp"
"I've Got You Under My Skin"
"My Kind of Town"
and of course... "New York, New York"
As for hating him, nah. I've got more positive outlets for my energy.
Subject: Re: Frankie Sinatra or Dean Martin?
Frank Sinatra :)
"My Way"
"Nice 'N Easy"
"Come Fly with Me"
"Night and Day"
"All the Way"
So many more. I think he had tremendous talent both as a singer and actor.
Subject: Re: Frankie Sinatra or Dean Martin?
Frankie acted in movies and toured 'til he was in his 80s!! That's an amazing career.....
Deano was cool too though....
So, I probably prefer Dean's tuneage but I gotta go with Frankie on longevity and success....
He asked who the fool was in the corner cryin'...I said it's little ol' wine drinker me
Subject: Re: Frankie Sinatra or Dean Martin?
I would go with Frank Sinatra only because in his movies he doesn't profess to be attractive to all females. Unlike Deano. Also I can recall how Australia got up his nose on one of his much earlier visits in the country. He boycotted us for quite a while. Cannot recall the reason though.

Australia boycotted Frank Sinatra, Reddy.
He held a press conference and referred to all the female journalists as 10 cent prostitutes, or some such thing.
The the unions all got up in arms and wouldn't refuel his private jet, and he was a prisoner inside his own hotel room for days. Ha !
He still didn't apologise in the end - he didn't return for about 25 years or so after that....

Frank Sinatra:
"Strangers In The Night"
"Witchcraft"
"Chicago"
Subject: Re: Frankie Sinatra or Dean Martin?
Deani Martini. He was just soooooooo suave and deboner...(not a typo) he really cracked me up. He was looped 99% of the time on his TV show....how he made it thru a taping was beyond me....
He had the endearing quality of not taking himself too seriously. Hope the olives are stuffed in Heaven, big guy!
Subject: Re: Frankie Sinatra or Dean Martin?
I didn't really know that Dean Martin sang I thought he only acted. I have only heard one song from him. But I would have to go with Frankie. He was very handsom when he was young.
Subject: Re: Frankie Sinatra or Dean Martin?
Mob ties...or lush.....I'll take Deano!

Frank Sinatra
Nancy Sinatra
Subject: Re: Frankie Sinatra or Dean Martin?
;)I gotta go with Sinatra. I like Dean too, but Sinatra fascinates me the most. His sex appeal was incredible...
Subject: Re: Frankie Sinatra or Dean Martin?
Neither! Never liked either one of them (even though I do like a couple of their songs.)

The only song I liked from Frank Sinatra was:
"NEW YORK,NEW YORK".That's basically it.
howard ;D
Subject: Re: Frankie Sinatra or Dean Martin?
Choosing between the 2, I would have to say Dean. But my top votes for this genre of music would be Tony Bennett and Harry Connick Jr.
Subject: Re: Frankie Sinatra or Dean Martin?
Frank Sinatra, but I like them both! (my cousin got me hooked on "oldies") I would only give a slight edge to Frank because I know more songs of his.
"My Way"
"Chicago"
"All the Way"
"Someone to Watch Over Me"
are my favorites
I like Harry Connick Jr and Tony Bennett, too, Julie!

Give a listen to "WitchCraft" by Sinatra. It's one of my faves! ;) :)
Subject: Re: Frankie Sinatra or Dean Martin?
gotta say its old blue eyes.In fact on Robbie Williams "Swing While Your Winning" cd, Thanks to modern technology and the blessings of the sinatra estate, he was able to a duet with Franky, on the atmospheric night club worthy song, " it was a very good year " Robbie does the fist two verses and Frank does the final two, its truly a beautiful song, so yeah go Frank Sinatra.
Subject: Re: Frankie Sinatra or Dean Martin?
For me it is Dean Martin...Much more sexy sounding...and for the records, Dean was not an alcoholic...that was just in the act which got out of hand...
Subject: Re: Frankie Sinatra or Dean Martin?
Dean!! Dean rules!! Silly old drunk! ;)
Subject: Re: Frankie Sinatra or Dean Martin?
i'M NOT CRAZY ON HOW FRANK GOT INTO THE BUSINESS, NOT ON HIS OWN MERITS...DID YOU ALL KNOW THAT IN THE GODFATHER THEY SHOWED HOW FRANK GOT INTO THE BUSINESS....HORSES HEAD....LIKE I SAID BEFORE, DEAN WAS NOT AN ALCOHOLIC OR A LUSH....IT WAS ALL A JOKE....AS FOR HARRY CONNICK JR. HE IS TOO MUCH A SINATRA COPYCAT...
