Taping The Dean Martin Show, the last successful Rat Pack reunion with Dean and Frank, the untold story behind the Martin & Lewis reunion, hanging out with Sammy Davis Jr., Donald O'Connor's struggles with alcoholism, Louis Prima's final tour, the deadliest mob hit in American history, the Cotton Club Murder connection, the last gasp of the golden age of entertainment -brought to life in vivid detail by the people who were there!
The Alberici Sisters share their amazing experiences in this 340 page Oral History of the Go-Go 1970s in Las Vegas and beyond.
Here are some of the highlights from BEYOND OUR WILDEST DREAMS:
- Barely out of High School, despite having been out on only a date or two, these devoted Catholics joined Dean Martin's Golddiggers for TV, Las Vegas shows and touring all over the country.
- What was Dean REALLY like? Was he the drunken womanizer he played on TV?
- Filming the Dean Martin shows and Roasts with all the stellar guest stars - Orson Welles, Gene Kelley, Loretta Lynn, Dom DeLuise, Ronald & Nancy Reagan, Jonathan Winters, Nipsey Russell, Shirley Jones and many more.
- Appearing with Dean in Las Vegas during the booming 1970s, opening night at the MGM Grand.
- Working with the legendary Louis Prima on his last tour.
- In Vegas and on tour they appeared with Jerry Vale, Bobby Goldsboro, Red Skelton, Steve & Eydie and many others.
- Missing by a few weeks being the victims of the deadliest mob hit in history.
- On the road with Milton Berle, Donald O'Connor and dirty old man George Jessel in the Roy Radin Vaudeville Revue (Roy Radin was the victim in the notorious Cotton Club Murder.).
- A near death experience with Bob Hope.
- And, of course, working with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin together for the last time they toured as a duo - including dates at the Sabre Room in Chicago, The Latin Casino in Cherry Hill, NJ, and the mobbed up Westchester Premier Theatre in New York.
