Did you know? The title track of “I Take a Lot of Pride in What I Am,” released in August 1969, was written by Merle Haggard.

Arguably Dean’s signature song, “Everybody Loves Somebody” topped the Billboard Hot 100 on this day in 1964. What’s your favorite Dean Martin single?

DID YOU KNOW? With Dean Martin Hits Again reaching No. 13 on the Billboard 200 on this day in 1965, Dean put his third album in the chart’s Top 20 in only eight months!

By the time Dean Martin issued Happiness Is Dean Martin, The King of Cool was a bona fide star of films and his own variety show, had issued five albums in 1966 alone, and notched eight Top 40 hits over the past three years. Happiness earned Dean no major pop hits, though “(Open Up The Door) Let The Good Times In” and “Lay Some Happiness On Me” both sailed to the Top 10 of the adult contemporary charts. The album also contains “I’m Not The Marrying Kind,” the Lalo Schifrin-penned theme to Murderers’ Row-the second of four films that featured Martin as swingin’ superspy (and Austin Powers inspiration) Matt Helm.
