Happiness Is Dean Martin

Happiness Is Dean Martin is a 1967 studio album by Dean Martin arranged by Ernie Freeman and Bill Justis. This was the first of two albums that Martin released in 1967. He had released five albums in 1966, as well as appearing in his television show and starring in three films. Martin's eight previous singles had been Top 40 hits between 1964 and 1966; three tracks from this album, "Nobody's Baby Again", " Let the Good Times In," and "Lay Some Happiness on Me," had previously been released as singles. Happiness Is Dean Martin peaked at 46 on the Billboard 200, while two of his albums from 1966 were still on the charts. "I'm Not the Marrying Kind", Martin's recording of Lalo Schifrin's theme song to the 1966 Matt Helm film he starred in, Murderer's Row, appears on this album. It did not appear on the film's soundtrack. Happiness Is Dean Martin was reissued on CD by Hip-O Records in 2009. Martin finished recording the album two days before an engagement at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas. His popularity at the Sands was such that Variety reported that "the room could have been filled twice over for each of the two shows".
