DEAN MARTIN - TORNA A SURRIENTO '51 (Rare Promo)

The Dean Martin Show. Every first generation Italian heard their dad or grandparents either hum or sing Sorrento. My dad was no different. He could "belt out" the lyrics in "nano" second if someone mentioned the word "Sorrento!" Dino was a proud Italian. "What'ya mean I can't speak Italian." During rehearsals, commercial breaks during tapings, Dean always muttered in Italian. Those of us that understood laughed, Dean would nod or wink knowing we caught him memorializing famous Italian proverbs. Having traveled to the Amalfi Coast and listening to Dean singing , you Can’t Help But Fall In Love with Sorrento. "Let's have a Vino for Dino!"
