Thought I would honor for a moment one of Deans great contemporaries, Tony Martin, on this the 101st anniversary of his birth. Tony lived most of those years, passing on a few months short of birthday number 99. Dean was a fan of Tonys, and marveled at his pristine powerful voice. Tony, born a year a few years before Dean, and though it was a second marriage, was wed to film star Cyd Charisse for 60 years at the time he passed. Ill post probably Tonys most famous hit, I Get Ideas. And in a comment I will post a duet between the Martins, though interestingly it was neither mans birth name. The Italian Dean was born Dino Crocetti in 1917 and the Jewish Tony was born Alvin Morris in 1913 on a Christmas morning.
