Dion DiMucci

[reckless]

Dion DiMucci, legendary Bronx rock-and-roller, was born today on July 18, 1939.

If Elvis is the King of rock-n-roll, then Dion is most certainly the Pope of Rock-n-Roll.

Here are some of my favorite songs, I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.

Yes, Inner Dirt, the one and only Dion, long associated with the seminal doowop group, The Belmonts.

Donna wears charms , diamonds, pearls ,galore. She buys them at the 5 and 10 cent store.She wants to be like Zsa Zsa Gabor , even though she's the girl next door. Love it ! :lol: My favorites by him are The Wanderer and of course, Runaround Sue.

[Robert Goren]

Perhaps best known for his 1968 hit. "Abraham, Martin and John" He was one of several 1950s singers who changed their style to folk music in the late 1960s and had a nice second career.

No comparison, really. Dion has a great voice. On par with Bobby Darin and Bill Medley.

I don't wish to nuance your post, Robert, but really, Dion didn't change his style. Music popularity does change over the years, of course, but Dion has remained true to the music, his way. He never had a second-, third- career, whatever; he was always and will always be, the greatest.

Here's A, M and J for you, Robert. Enjoy.

Great lyrics for the times, but not necessarily nor overly dated.

This happened in Las Vegas this past April.

Enjoy jk, and everyone.

jk, thanks for posting the Hall of Fame video.

Too bad The Belmonts aren't in the Hall of Fame. They are deserving to say the least.
