==Tributes and legacy== In 1997, [[Ohio Route 7]] through [[Steubenville, Ohio|Steubenville]] was rededicated as Dean Martin Boulevard. Road signs bearing an [[Al Hirschfeld]] caricature of Martin's likeness designate the stretch with a historical marker bearing a small picture and brief biography in the Gazebo Park at Route 7 and North Fourth Street. The Dean Martin Hometown Festival is held over a long weekend every June in Steubenville. Led by The Dean Martin Association since 2024, impersonators, friends and family, and entertainers, many of Italian ancestry, appear. In 2005, [[Clark County, Nevada]], renamed a portion of Industrial Road as Dean Martin Drive. A similarly named street was dedicated in 2008 in [[Rancho Mirage, California]]. Martin's family was presented a gold record in 2004 for ''[[Dino: The Essential Dean Martin]],'' his fastest-selling album, which also hit the iTunes Top 10, and in 2006 it was certified "Platinum".<ref>{{cite web| url=https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/?tab_active=default-award&se=DINO+-+THE+ESSENTIAL+DEAN+MARTIN#search_section| title=Gold & Platinum - RIAA| website=[[Recording Industry Association of America]]}}</ref> There is a street named after Martin in [[San Antonio|San Antonio, Texas]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Brown |first=Merrisa |date=September 30, 2014 |title=San Antonio street names and groupings |url=https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/slideshow/San-Antonio-street-names-and-groupings-94695.php |website=mysanantonio.com}}</ref> For the week ending December 23, 2006, the Dean Martin and [[Martina McBride]] duet of "[[Baby, It's Cold Outside]]" reached No. 7 on the R&R AC chart. It also went to No. 36 on the R&R Country chart β the last time Martin had a song this high in the charts was in 1965, with the song "[[I Will (Dick Glasser song)|I Will]]", which reached No. 10 on the Pop chart. An album of duets, ''[[Forever Cool]]'', was released by Capitol/EMI in 2007. It features Martin's voice with [[Kevin Spacey]], [[Shelby Lynne]], [[Joss Stone]], [[Big Bad Voodoo Daddy]], [[Robbie Williams]], McBride and others. His footprints were immortalized at [[Grauman's Chinese Theatre]] in 1964. Martin has three stars on the [[Hollywood Walk of Fame]]: one at 6519 Hollywood Boulevard for movies; the second at 1617 Vine for recordings; and a third at 6651 Hollywood Boulevard for television. In February 2009, Martin was honored with a posthumous [[Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award]]. Four of his surviving children, Gail, Deana, Ricci and Gina accepted it on his behalf. In 2010, Martin received a posthumous star on the [[Italian Walk of Fame]] in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.italianwalkoffame.com/inductees/inductees-2010/| title=Inductees 2010 - The Italian Walk of Fame| website=Italianwalkoffame.com| access-date=August 5, 2017| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190421011115/http://www.italianwalkoffame.com/inductees/inductees-2010/| archive-date=April 21, 2019| url-status=usurped}}</ref> The town of origin of Dean's father, [[Montesilvano]], dedicated to him a square between via Sarca and via Torrente Piomba and a congress palace called Pala Dean Martin congress center in via Aldo Moro adjacent to the Porto Allegro structure (former cinema Warner).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Dean Martin |url=https://www.italyheritage.com/great-italians/music/martin-dean.htm |access-date=2024-09-26 |website=www.italyheritage.com}}</ref>{{Citation needed|date=July 2023}}
