Dean Martin sings 5 different versions of "Where Or When".

My biggest problem with this song has always been that it was never long enough -- it's great to see that fixed!

Dean's wonderful "singing from the sofa" on his weekly TV show was really something special....it was always Dean at his most relaxed, singing his heart out and putting everything he had into it. Sadly - depending which DVD's one finds of those great shows - these priceless moments of Dean singing at his best, off the cuff, were very sadly cut out, to make room on the discs for bits and pieces of other guests and sketches. Luckily - the individual "Best of the Dean Martin Variety Show" dvds usually kept these fabulous singing segments in tact, while various "collections" cut them out.

Many thanks to Greg Garrison for putting these great shows together for all of us to enjoy for years, especially during "tough" times at home or around the world. One can easily tell how much Dean loved doing the shows and how much people enjoyed working with him. For my money - Dean was one heck of a great crooner and singer, whose easily recognized, very unique voice was very difficult to duplicate, well, as much as impressionists tried, and whose "straight man" comedy timing and jokes were hard to match. Very good actor too! Thanks so much for all the "Good Times", Dean!!

I've loved Dean Martin ever since I was old enough to know what great music is. I started collecting everything of Dean Martin's when I was 8 years old! This video took me through all those years. From Dean's weekly television shows to special appearances to concerts! Thank you for posting this! :)

Every song he ever did he made his own! He was truly bigger than life. For me anyway. He will always be the love of my life. Noone has ever replaced him in my heart. His music makes me smile always.

Dean's version was timeless. Even in this modern times

[robertyoshimaru]

I love those stage sets from TV variety shows. There's something so other worldly about them.

He slowed a step in the final version but still hits strong high note and still the most handsome and charming man in the world.

Right on, Alan.
Dino could move around the beat so easily -- at one point in the last version, he drags a whole bar and then pops right in again two bars later.  Miss that unique talent of his.

[dannyvalencia]

He sang this song 5 times? I didn’t even know he sang it ONCE! Wonderful!

[teresabonnell]

He had a Natural stunning voice and talent .He was a natural through and through

[bgshaw]

To the end truly brilliant. Remember the tragedy of his son's passing which is about the time of the last video. The toll of that must have been tough on Dean. There will be never another Deano!

Love to hear Dean sing Where Are When. He siunds great.

[fever_spike]

Barry Shaw is correct...Dean Paul was killed in March 1987; the final version shown here was from that next year, likely during the Rat Pack Reunion Tour that Dean ultimately bowed out of. The loss of Dean Paul was a blow that Dean understandably never really recovered from.

[brunopriestly]

This video is just fantastic.
I always loved Dean's versions of Where or When.

[winifredatwell]

Delightful, funny and irresistibly charismatic. They'll be imitating him into the next century and no-one will be able to conjure up the magic of the original.

[WhenUrSmilin]

It's amazing that after all the years of booze and cigs that he was able to hit and maintain the (F) high note at the end every time except for the slight warble in the last one.

[tingling]

Frank Sinatra's rendering is great but Dino's is fantabulous.Wow!

[philipperaynauddelices]
