Dean Martin- Happiness Is Dean Martin-LP

Happiness Is Dean Martin captures a moment in 1967 when the crooner was balancing traditional pop with a touch of country charm, evident across tracks like "Lay Some Happiness On Me" and "If I Ever Get Back To Georgia." This album, Martin's 16th studio effort, reached number 46 on the Billboard 200 while he still had earlier albums charting, underscoring his steady presence in the music scene. The cover’s playful nod to the Mattel doll ‘Baby’s Hungry!’—a prop from his television show—adds a quirky slice of pop culture to the package that might give a collector a smile beyond the grooves. This pressing from 1967 offers a vinyl experience that’s glossy and very clean, showing only minor surface marks that don’t detract from playback. The 29-minute runtime keeps it concise, making it a neat addition for anyone intrigued by Martin’s crossover into country-tinged sounds or the era’s softer pop stylings. If you’ve ever wondered where to place this record on your shelf, it’s the spot just to the right of easy listening but comfortably before full-on country, which seems fitting for a man who could croon just about anything.

Sound samples are included to help you get a feel for the music, but they may not always match the exact pressing or track version of the record listed. When in doubt, trust the photos and pressing information - that's the actual record you're buying.
