| | Dean Martin Live From Las Vegas CD Dean Martin Discography of CDs
 (2 Customer Reviews)
As charming on the movie screen as he was on record or in a concert setting, Dean Martin personified the grace, cool, and devil-may-care aura of the Rat Pack. And there was no place Dino was more at home than in Las Vegas. LIVE FROM LAS VEGAS presents Martin performing at the Rat Pack's second home, the Sands, in 1967--a time when he, Sinatra, and their pals where still mighty figures but had begun to shine a bit less brightly for the fickle public's whims. So what if the Beatles were outselling him? It mattered little to Dino, as he prowled the stage comically in his drunk schtick (which was never more than an act), the consummate entertainer, delivering swinging hits such as "Everybody Loves Somebody" and "It Had to Be You" interspersed with the Italianate ballads that helped make his name ("Volare," "There's No Tomorrow") and the charismatic showman's endearing humorous patter and asides. At a time when the world was changing, Martin provided a last (and lasting) glimpse into what it had been, and now the rest of us can experience it too.
Personnel: Dean Martin (vocals).

Live From Las Vegas
 $18.05 
Growing up among Afro-Americans in Berkeley, CA, Greek-American Johnny Otis (born John Veliotes) always identified strongly with people of color. Before he had attained the age of 20 he was gigging with black jazz bands throughout the Southwest, and eventually organized an ensemble deliberately patterned after Count Basie's orchestra. This highly charged album of historical musical artifacts documents the very beginning of Johnny Otis' recording career. With one apparently unobtainable exception, the Classics Blues & Rhythm Series has assembled ...

| | Harry Belafonte Many Moods Of/Ballads Blues & Boasters CD (2004) (Import) United Kingdom
Live From Las Vegas
$12.45
This two-for-one disc presents a pair of mid-1960s records by the dynamic pop singer Harry Belafonte.
Issued in the British Isles, this CD combines the contents of two Harry Belafonte LPs: The Many Moods of Belafonte, released in November 1962, and Ballads, Blues and Boasters, released in September 1964. The two albums were not consecutive releases; in between, Belafonte put out the 1963 collection Streets I Have Walked. The logical question, then, is why one or the other of the LPs was not combined with that one. Annotators Albert Nuttall and Carlo Stevan of the definitive website www. belafontetracks.ca do not address that issue, but the decision doubtless was a stylistic one. Streets I Have Walked, while not explicitly pitched as a children's album, features the Spring Gardens Junior High School No. 59 Choir backing Belafonte on songs that often have a youthful flavor. In contrast, The Many Moods of Belafonte and Ballads, Blues and Boasters are more adult efforts, beginning with the opening track, "Tongue Tie Baby," one of Belafonte's calypso efforts, complete with Caribbean accent, in which he humorously describes a romantic tryst. Elsewhere, eclecticism is the ruling principal on albums intended to showcase Belafonte's versatility. That means not only blues, ballads, and "boasters" (the liner notes cite as an example of the last a jazzy arrangement of the civil rights anthem "Back of the Bus"), but also show tunes like "Summertime Love" (from Greenwillow) and "Try to Remember" (from The Fantasticks); original folk songs like "Who's Gonna Be Your Man" (also given a jazz reading) and "'Long About Now," both co-written by the Weavers' Fred Hellerman; African songs ...
