45 - My favorite singer My favorite singer is Dino Paul Crocetti, better known as Dean Martin. "The King of Cool" was his nickname, and I think a better one would not have been possible to find it. I love his songs because I like simple things. A good music and a wonderful voice. This is the secret behind his songs. There are no other complex elements. He was able to create an iconic song using only his voice and charm; the text was not so relevant. It doesn't matter that he had Italian origins, like me. I like it because he was incredibly melodic and his songs sound to me as a perfect representation of a happy historical period. In fact, when I listen to the music of that era, I always image it as a time in which the life was really good. And the incredible thing behind this is that I am not a sappy person at all, nevertheless I really like his songs. And if had to answer to the endless dilemma about who was better between Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, it would be really easy for me to answer. Although I consider the first among the best voices in the music history, but for me Dean Martin was the definitive total package and no others could compete with him and never can.
