Gary Lewis wasn't the only 2nd generation star on the pop charts in 1965.
There was also Dino (Dean Martin, Jr., aka Dean Paul Martin), Desi (Desi Arnaz, Jr.), & Billy (Hinsche, the only one without celebrity parents), whose debut came on The Ed Sullivan Show. Ed gets in a plug for Dean Sr. co-starring with John Wayne in a Western around that time as he introduces the kids, performing "I'm a Fool":
As Dean Paul Martin, Dino, Jr. co-starred in 1985's Misfits of Science, a one-year wonder for NBC which is better remembered as the first series for Courtney Cox. Desi, Jr., meanwhile, joined his mom, Lucille Ball, and sister Lucie in Here's Lucy (1968-74), and would play alongside his iconic mom after the series ended on Password Plus (Desi & Lucie played with Lucy and Gary Morton on the original Password).
