Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Up for sale is a pre-owned CD audio-book written by Jerry Lewis in 2005. In the book he describes in moving, tragic, and hilarious terms many detailed aspects if his 50-year friendship with Dean Martin. He called it “Dean & Me (A Love Story)”. The set contains 7 compact discs and the memoir runs for about 9 hours. They were the unlikeliest of pairs—a handsome crooner and a skinny monkey, an Italian from Steubenville, Ohio, and a Jew from Newark, N.J.. Before they teamed up, Dean Martin seemed destined for a mediocre career as a nightclub singer, and Jerry Lewis was dressing up as Carmen Miranda and miming records on stage. But the moment they got together, something clicked—something miraculous—and audiences saw it at once. Before long, Martin and Lewis were a national craze, an American institution. The millions flowed in, seemingly without end—and then, on July 24, 1956, ten years after it all started, it ended suddenly. After that traumatic day, the two wouldn’t speak again for twenty years. And while both went on to forge triumphant individual careers—Martin as a movie and television star, recording artist, and nightclub luminary (and charter member of the Rat Pack); Lewis as the groundbreaking writer, producer, director, and star of a series of hugely successful movie comedies—their parting left a hole in the national psyche, as well as in each man’s heart. In Dean & Me, Lewis makes a convincing case for Martin as one of the great—and most underrated—comic talents of our era. But what comes across most powerfully in this definitive memoir is the depth of love Lewis felt for his partner, and which his partner felt for him: truly a love to last for all time. This audio-book CD set is from my personal collection. Since purchase, it was gently played and I was careful to maintain its quality over time. When I was finished listening to a particular section or disc, it was placed back in its case and replaced in its storage drawer. All my CDs were stored in dust free boxes made for such use. The CD set you see in the photos is of the actual one up for sale.
