That dude was never drunk, he just acted drunk. That was his thing. Sang like a champ though.

I recently did a deep dive on Deano. The guy pushed out albums in multiple ethnicities and genre, tapping into multiple markets. He had his French album, his Latino album, his "Tex" Martin country albums, and of course his Italian albums.

According to guys like Jerry Lewis, when Dean was working he did not drink. The Vegas stuff was all shtick as was the stuff on his TV show. He was an Apple juice and iced tea guy.However as the years went on his drinking did increase and it really accelerated after his son died in a plane crash which devastated him.

Jerry Lewis had made the comment after he heard about Dino ( the son) death. "That killed Dean, he loved that kid" after that Dean was a regular 4 cocktail at lunch kind of guy.
