Dean Martin Greatest Hits King of Cool - 5076

Amazon.com A blatant bid to cash in on Dino's '90s cachet, Greatest Hits is still a credible collection of Martin's best. Its inclusion of material from both the singer's Capitol and Reprise years sets it apart; its 1998-specific liner notes--including dubious comparisons with John Denver and Jimmy Buffett--will date it as soon as the lounge craze loses steam. The disc charts, though not chronologically, Martin's entire career trajectory, from classy, jazzy crooner (early gems like "Powder Your Face with Sunshine," "Memories Are Made of This," and "Ain't That a Kick in the Head" shine with uncluttered arrangements and big-band punch) to swingin', swayin' playboy (later cuts like "In the Chapel in the Moonlight," "Houston," and "The Door Is Still Open [To My Heart]," whose sappy '60s choral and orchestral backing somehow manage to stay out of his way). Repackage it any way you like, though--Martin's warm, velvety way with a melody remains timeless. --Sue VanHecke Product description Dean Martin ~ Dean Martin Greatest Hits King
