Dean Martin(born Dino Paul Crocetti, June 7, 1917 – December 25, 1995) American actor and singer, couldn't read music, and yet recorded more than 100 albums and 600 songs, racking up major hits such as "That's Amore", "Volare", "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You" and his signature tune "Everybody Loves Somebody". Besides being the ladies' man counterpart of Jerry Lewis in a series of comedies, besides being a ratpacker, Dean Martin, in his long variety show run on NBC, often seemed to be dead drunk on national TV. The fact that America saw his show as charming and wholesome just the same is a testament not only to the culture of the time but to Martin's own great charm. Dean was well known as a family man and his "drinking" was just an act. It used to bother Frank Sinatra (who was a big drinker) that Dean went home early to be with his wife and kids and not go hitting the bars with him.

Belle From Barcelona Lyrics
Dean Martin
(Eyes exciting very amoroso
Lips inviting real delicioso)
We sailed in to the port of Barcelona
And I could see her standing there
As I strolled by her verandah
She tossed me a rose from her hair
The steamer was anchored for an hour
And she seemed like a dream come true
I stopped and picked up the flower
Not knowing it meant I love you
O-O-Le that belle from Barcelona way
If you could see her o-o-le
You'd know I only needed to say o-le
Hey muchacha
She showed a lot of muchacha
She kissed me and ooo-cha-cha
I knew I was there to stay
Oh chiquita you are muchilina
Oh chiquita you are so bonita
Eyes exciting very amoroso
Lips inviting very delicioso
O-O-Le that belle from Barcelona way
If you could see her o-o-le
You'd know I only needed to say o-le
Hey muchacha
She showed a lot of muchacha
She kissed me and ooo-cha-cha
I knew that I was there to stay
Oh chiquita you are muchilina
Oh chiquita you are so bonita
Eyes exciting very amoroso
Lips inviting real delicioso
