Dean Martin – Let it Snow

“Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!“, also known as simply “Let It Snow“, is a song written by lyricist Sammy Cahn and composer Jule Styne in July 1945. It was written in Hollywood, California during a heat wave as Cahn and Styne imagined cooler conditions.

Dean Martin released a version of the song in 1959, as part of his album A Winter Romance, and a re-recorded version in 1966, as part of The Dean Martin Christmas Album. The song entered the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time in 2018.

August 1959 was an exceptionally hot month for most of the United States. It greatly amused Dean Martin, as he walked into Capitol Records’ studio, at 1750 North Vine Street, Hollywood, on Thursday, August 6, to think that he was about to record his own version of the winter song “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” on such a hot day.

Martin, whose singing imitated the smooth baritone vocals and phrasing of Bing Crosby, had the perfect voice for festive songs. His version of “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!,” which was cut for the Capitol album A Winter Romance, is the best and most popular adaptation of a song that has become an absolute Christmas classic.

Dupa aproape 50 de ani, Dean Martin, are din nou o melodie in Billboard Hot 100, ‘Let It Snow, Ley It Snow, Let Snow”, direct pe pozitia 41, in 2018.
Ultima melodie a lui Dean Martin, in Billboard Hot 100, a fost “I Take a Lot of Pride in What I Am,” cu cea mai buna pozitie la #75, pe 30 August 1969.

Dean Martin a incetat din viata la 78 de ani, pe 18 Decembrie 1995, suferind de cancer la plamini si complicatii respiratorii.
