Dean Martin, the legendary crooner with a voice as smooth as velvet, invites you to step back in time with his 1966 album, "Dean Martin as Matt Helm Sings Songs from 'The Silencers'." This compact collection, spanning just 29 minutes, is a delightful blend of genres, from classic adult standards to lively big band and swing music, all tied together with Martin's signature charm.
The album is a soundtrack companion to the 1966 spy comedy film "The Silencers," featuring Martin in the role of Matt Helm. It opens with "The Glory of Love," a romantic ballad that showcases Martin's velvety vocals, and closes with the instrumental title track, "The Silencers," a thrilling piece that captures the essence of the spy genre.
In between, you'll find a mix of love songs like "Empty Saddles In the Old Corral" and "Side by Side," upbeat numbers like "On the Sunny Side of the Street," and even a touch of holiday spirit with "Lord, You Made the Night Too Long." Martin's playful side shines through in tracks like "If You Knew Susie" and "Lovey Kravezit - Instrumental," adding a touch of humor to the album.
Whether you're a fan of Dean Martin, a lover of classic music, or simply looking to add some sophistication to your playlist, this album is a timeless treasure trove of musical enjoyment.
