Bob’s Picks for the 50′s

by Bob Fauci on June 22, 2010

 The women loved him, he was a crooner… but also a great comedian and actor.  He actually made 16 films between 1949 and 1956, partnering with Jerry Lewis as the “singing straight man”.  ”Everybody Loves Somebody” and ”That’s Amore” were probably his biggest hits.  He was part of Frank Sinatra’s “Rat Pack”  I knew him as an actor, singer and comedian, but learned he was also  a tennis pro; what I didn’t remember was that he died in a California Air National Guard plane crash back in 1987.  He was an icon that will always be remembered. 

1. Dean Martin – That’s Amore
2. Elvis Presley – All Shook Up
3. Isley Brothers – Shout

5. Dean Martin – Volare
