DEAN MARTIN AND SCARLETT JOHANSSON DUET ON DINO'S CLASSIC HOLIDAY ALBUM "MY KIND OF CHRISTMAS"

Universal Music Enterprises has released the Dean Martin classic holiday album My Kind of Christmas, and the 14-track collection features the new Dean Martin duet with special guest singer and actress Scarlett Johansson of the timeless song “I’ll Be Home For Christmas.” Dean Martin loved the holiday season and My Kind of Christmas creates that wonderful nostalgic feeling when gathering with family and friends, decorating the tree and reminiscing while a New Year lingers just around the corner. Nobody sings the holiday classics better than Dino.

Dean Martin “My Kind of Christmas” features more than a dozen timeless classics full of sparkling Christmas cheer including; “White Christmas,” “Silent Night,” “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” “Baby It’s Cold Outside,” “Jingle Bells,” “Rudolph, The Red Nosed Reindeer,” as well as Dino’s popular take on “A Marshmallow World.” Famed actress and singer Scarlett Johansson recently recorded an all-new duet of the song “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” exclusively for My Kind of Christmas. A long time fan, Johansson, along with Martin, shares a similar artistic, award-winning career path following both their love of acting and music. “Growing up in New York City, Christmas was never Christmas without Dino,” said Johansson. “Recording in the studio with Mr. Martin in my headphones felt as though he were standing right next to me, crooning with that mischievous gleam in his eye. When I was asked to sing on this album, it was literally a childhood dream come true.”

Capping off a big year in a resurgence of The King of Cool, previous releases and projects throughout 2011 have included the hit Valentines Day single “Hey, Good Lookin’” (Shake It Remix), a new 60+ page hardcover book containing behind-the-scenes and never before seen photos with a 2-CD musical anthology titled Dean Martin: Cool Then, Cool Now, the release of three new DVD collections featuring The Best of the Dean Martin Variety Show from Time-Life, and two collections of music from Capitol/EMI, the deluxe edition of Dino: The Essential Dean Martin and an new title Classic Dino: The Best Of Dean Martin.


A famed star of the silver screen, television icon, Grammy® Award-winning singing sensation and member of the renowned “Rat Pack,” Dean Martin’s show business legacy is legendary. His musical career features such classics as “Ain’t That A Kick In The Head,” “That’s Amore,” “Mambo Italiano,” “Everybody Loves Somebody,” “Sway,” “Volare,” and more, releasing dozens of album recordings over his lifetime. Starring in dozens of well-known movies including Ocean’s Eleven, Rio Bravo, The Caddy, and Who Was That Lady?, for which Martin received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor, coupled with a highly popular television career, Dean Martin certainly earned his nickname as the “King of Cool.”
