Biography
Early years
Born in Chicago, Illinois in 1923, Dee was an only child (though it is sometimes erroneously reported that he was one of eleven or twelve children). As a child, he sang in his church's choir; he also played ukulele, banjo and accordion. As a teenager, he turned playing the accordion into a profession in his uncle's quartet, which he continued until he volunteered into the Navy during World War II in 1943.
"Non Dimenticar" ("Do Not Forget") is a popularsong with music by P. G. Redi (Gino Redi, a.k.a. Luigi Pulci), the original Italian lyrics by Michele Galdieri, with English lyrics by Shelley Dobbins. The song was written for the 1951 film Anna (directed by Alberto Lattuada) and interpreted (acted) by great actress Silvana Mangano (1930–1989); sung by Flo Sandon's (Mammola Sandon); and published in 1953.
The best-known recording of the song was made by Nat King Cole (reaching #45 on the Billboard magazine charts in 1958), but other recordings have been made, including one by Jerry Vale in 1955. Vale's version peaked at #75 on the pop charts. Joni James also recorded an English / Italian version for her 1958 album Ti Voglio bene .... Dean Martin recorded the song in 1962 on his Dino: Italian Love Songs album. Trío los Panchos made its version in 1964. Italian-American tenor Sergio Franchi covered this song in his 1965 RCA Victor album, Live at the Coconut Grove.Deana Martin recorded "Non Dimenticar” in 2009. The song was released on her album, Volare, released in 2009 by Big Fish Records.
