The Dean Martin TV Show is a 1966 studio album by Dean Martin accompanied by the Les Brown orchestra, with arrangements by Ernie Freeman.[2][3]
This was the last of five albums Martin released in 1966, it was named to capitalise on the immense success of his television show, The Dean Martin Show.[2] The Dean Martin TV Show peaked at 34 on the Billboard 200, and was still on the charts in Spring 1967.[4]
The album is not a soundtrack of The Dean Martin Show.[2] Eschewing his recent country pop style, The Dean Martin TV Show was a collection of traditional pop standards, Martin's first such album in this vein since 1964's Dream with Dean.[2]
The release of The Dean Martin TV Show and The Dean Martin Christmas Album in late 1966 was accompanied by what Billboard magazine described as a "merchandising avalanche"[5] by Reprise Records and their parent company Warner Music.[5] Billboard described Martin as running the "hottest streak of his career," and said that Reprise planned to sell $4 million of his records over the Christmas sales period.[5]
