About The Record:

Pretty Baby by Dean Martin is a charming collection of romantic ballads and light swinging standards that showcases his smooth, velvety vocal style in a casual and engaging manner. Recorded over just two sessions in early 1957 with orchestration conducted by Gus Levene, the album features a dozen tracks including classics like I Can't Give You Anything But Love, Only Forever, Sleepy Time Gal, Maybe, and the title track Pretty Baby. An interesting visual element is the cover art featuring Dean Martin's second wife Jeanne Martin. Fan favorites often include the gentle gem Once in a While and the jaunty opener, highlighting Martin's ability to deliver timeless love songs with effortless charm. No hit singles or chart positions for the album itself are noted from this release.
