Some selections, like the “L.A. Is My Home” (Dean first ever video show on MTV back in the early 80’s) have never been released on CD before until now. This is being hailed as a one-of-a-kind collection showcases Dean as The Entertainer, The Family Man, The Sportsman, The Man-About-Town, and The Movie Star providing a behind-the-scenes look of the legendary Dean Martin in the studio, on stage, and from sets of films including The Caddy (1953), Artists and Models (1955), Rio Bravo (1959), Oceans 11 (1960), Airport (1970) and many more.

The book features heartfelt tributes from some of the people that knew him best including; comedian and co-star Jerry Lewis, Academy Award winning actress and co-star Shirley MacLaine, and legendary golfer Arnold Palmer, as well as admirer and global star Robbie Williams, and others. “I was fortunate to work with Dean from the very start, he was always the consummate professional, instantaneous and funny,” said Lewis. “He was magic to be around and had the exquisite ability to know what was funny.” Recalled MacLaine, “Dean was the man-about-town that everyone wanted to spend time with. He was kind, funnier than anyone else, and adorable in all ways.”
