This was aired on the Dean Martin show on April 4, 1968, the day that Martin Luther King was Assassinated. The news of Dr. King's death was probably no more than a few hours old, and lent itself to a very raw performance where Dean Martin made an appeal for the troops in Vietnam to be pulled and brought home. No, Dean was not in-your-face about bringing the troops home. But he was not being wishy-washy either. Dean was delivering his message in a way that people of his generation could listen to and hear.
This is the first I've ever heard of Dean making any statement about the Vietnam War. I was hoping to find mention of it online, but nothing came up in the search. What baffles me a bit is that the show was pre-recorded on Sundays and then aired on Thursday nights. So I do not understand how he could have known anything about Rev. Dr. King being assassinated five whole days before it occurred, let alone deliver a raw performance because of it. Do you happen to have any further info on it?
Dean Martin was Awesome in his time --- and , I hope to meet Dean in Heaven one day . Thank You GOD for the bright blessed days and for the dark sacred nights in this life , and for letting us all live and prepare to meet You when our time comes to die. Dean , here's remembering you , with a Lotta Love ---- Ray Shuler & The Doors -- 70 yr.old 24/7 Locksman -- 5/16/2019
What a gorgeous, handsome man, my heart simply yearns for him. That look as he gets up with the cigarette just sets my heart on fire. Beautiful doesn't cut it, he's beyond beautiful and I love him dearly ♥️♥️♥️
If it had happened in Italy, the show would have been suspended. They've suspended shows for a lot less. Let alone for an assassination like Kennedy's. It's called respect.
Everybody loves somebody sometime Ognuno ama qualcuno qualche volta Everybody falls in love somehow Ognuno s'innamora in qualche modo Something in your kiss just told me Qualcosa nei tuoi baci mi ha appena detto My sometime is now Il mio qualche volta è ora Everybody finds somebody someplace Ognuno trova qualcuno in qualche posto There's no telling where love may appear Non si può dire dove l'amore può apparire Something in my heart keeps saying Qualcosa nel mio cuore continua a dire My someplace is here Io mio qualche posto è qui If I had it in my power Se l'avessi in mio potere I'd arrange for every girl to have your charms Provvederò che ogni ragazza abbia il tuo fascino Then every minute, every hour A quel punto ogni minuto, ogni ora Every boy would find what I found in your arms Ogni ragazzo troverebbe quello che io ho trovato nelle tue braccia Everybody loves somebody sometime Ognuno ama qualcuno qualche volta And although my dreams were overdue E anche se i miei sogni fossero in ritardo Your love made it all worth waiting Il tuo amore fa sì che valga aspettare For someone like you Qualcuno come te

Love to hear Dean sing Silver Lining. Everybody loves somebody. Love this guy. Still love him.
Love him and Remember him.
There was no one who could sing like Dino & nobody who could write music as good as Jerome Kern
Bing Crosby.
I ALWAYS THOUGHT DINO SINGING "WELCOME TO MY WORLD" WAS HIS BEST WORK...THIS HOWEVER IS RIGHT UP THERE!
Thanks for the Dean Martin series from the late 1960's, they're priceless
dean was so serious here but it was nice when he wished that damm war was over and the boys were back in town
Dean was crying while he was singing look for a silver lining. 5.20.2019.
Sentimentalize! we missed Dean & we didn't misee Deans singing.
thanks for these wonderful clips
Dean, here's remembering you with love. Ray Shuler & The Doors 9/22/16
Thank's for the great song!!!
You make my day thanks .
Is that ending what's called 'breaking the 4th wall'? It's brave to show the cue cards when Dean Martin is very good at seeming spontaneous.
Thank you for share :)
You're welcome :)
Why you're welcome :)

Can't understand why he would need cue cards for that song!
SOP in those days.
robincurt1950 What's SOP? :\
dino4ever Standard Operating Procedure :)
Its a joke
basically he never remembered the words of the songs he sang
Everybody loves somebody sometime
Ognuno ama qualcuno qualche volta
Everybody falls in love somehow
Ognuno s'innamora in qualche modo
Something in your kiss just told me
Qualcosa nei tuoi baci mi ha appena detto
My sometime is now
Il mio qualche volta è ora
Everybody finds somebody someplace
Ognuno trova qualcuno in qualche posto
There's no telling where love may appear
Non si può dire dove l'amore può apparire
Something in my heart keeps saying
Qualcosa nel mio cuore continua a dire
My someplace is here
Io mio qualche posto è qui
If I had it in my power
Se l'avessi in mio potere
I'd arrange for every girl to have your charms
Provvederò che ogni ragazza abbia il tuo fascino
Then every minute, every hour
A quel punto ogni minuto, ogni ora
Every boy would find what I found in your arms
Ogni ragazzo troverebbe quello che io ho trovato nelle tue braccia
Everybody loves somebody sometime
Ognuno ama qualcuno qualche volta
And although my dreams were overdue
E anche se i miei sogni fossero in ritardo
Your love made it all worth waiting
Il tuo amore fa sì che valga aspettare
For someone like you
Qualcuno come te
