And as for Dean Martin, let me depart the world of pop music to remember him in what Esquire Magazine (I think it was) called one of the ten best movies ever made -- RIO BRAVO. But, yep, he did sing there too. So did co-star Ricky Nelson. Dino was incomparably better :-) Starring John Wayne. Walter Brennan almost stole it from all of them.
>>Walter Brennan almost stole it from all of them.
He left us some great romantic lyrics too...
He used to plow them rows straight and deep
And I'd come along near behind
A-bustin' up clods with my own bare feet
Old Rivers was a friend of mine.
That sun'd get high and that mule would work
Till old Rivers'd say, Whoa!
He'd wipe his brow, lean back on the reins
And talk about a place he was gonna go...
Now, one of these days
I'm gonna climb that mountain
Walk up there amoung the clouds
Where the cotton's high
And the corn's a-growin'
And there ain't no fields to plow.
