Musical artist

Dion Francis DiMucci [19] (born July 18, 1939),[20] improve known simply as Dion, is an American singer and songwriter whose music has incorporated elements of doo-wop, rock, R&B and blues. Initially as lead singer of Dion and the Belmonts, and and then in his solo career, he was i of the nearly popular American rock and roll performers of the pre-British Invasion era.[21] He had 39 Top 40 hits in the late 1950s and early 1960s as a solo performer, with the Belmonts or with the Del-Satins.[22] He is best remembered for the singles "Runaround Sue", "The Wanderer", "Ruby Baby" and "Lovers Who Wander", among other hits.[23]

Dion'south commercial popularity waned in the mid-1960s, and toward the end of the decade he shifted his style with more mature and contemplative songs, such as "Abraham, Martin and John".[24] He remained popular in the belatedly 1960s until the mid-1970s,[25] and connected making music.[26] During the 1980s, Dion produced several Christian albums, winning a GMA Dove Honor in 1984 for the album I Put Away My Idols.[27] [28] He returned to secular music in the tardily 1980s with Yo Frankie (1989).[29] Between the mid-2000s and 2021, Dion released six chart-topping blues albums.[xxx] Critics who had dismissed his early work, labeling him as a teen idol, praised his later work and noted the influence he has had on other musicians.[19]

A Grammy-nominated creative person,[31] Dion has released over 40 albums, and scored xi Height 10 hits (including with the Belmonts) on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[32] He was inducted into the Rock and Whorl Hall of Fame in 1989.[33] In 2002, Dion was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for "Runaround Sue".[34]

Early life [edit]

Dion was built-in to an Italian-American family in the Bronx, New York.[35] As a child, he accompanied his father, Pasquale DiMucci, a vaudeville entertainer, on bout, and developed a honey of country music – especially the work of Hank Williams. He besides developed a fondness for the blues and doo-wop musicians he heard performing in local bars and on the radio. His singing was honed on the street corners and local clubs of the Bronx, where he and other neighborhood singers created a cappella riffs.[36]

In early 1957, he auditioned for Bob and Gene Schwartz for their short-lived Mohawk Records label.[37] They asked Dion to sing a vocal which had been bundled by Hugo Montenegro and recorded featuring Vic Damone doing vocals. At outset Dion refused, stating the song would sound like something his old fashioned parents would listen to, but the Schwartzes convinced him to give it a try. The backing vocals were by a group chosen "the Timberlanes", whom Dion had never met.[38] The resulting single, "The Chosen Few", was released nether the name "Dion and the Timberlanes", and became a minor regional hit. In a 2019 interview at "Crashing the Party" (a radio programme related to Norton Records in Brooklyn, New York), Dion stated that "The Called Few" hit the Top Ten locally in Boston, which enabled him to perform this song on American Bandstand (where the kids at the show started screaming during his performance and gave him his first impression of being a record star). In his autobiography, The Wanderer, Dion explained that he had never met the Timberlanes and did not even know who they were. "The vocal group was so white bread, I went dorsum to my neighborhood and I recruited a agglomeration of guys – three guys – and nosotros chosen ourselves Dion and the Belmonts."[39]

Music career [edit]

Beginnings with the Belmonts: 1957–1960 [edit]

Bob and Cistron Schwartz signed Dion'due south friends, the Belmonts (Carlo Mastrangelo, Fred Milano, and Angelo D'Aleo), a vocal group named for the Belmont, Bronx neighborhood, and teamed them up with Dion singing lead. The new grouping'south breakthrough came in early 1958, when "I Wonder Why" (on their newly formed Laurie Records) made No. 22 on the U.S. charts. Dion said of the Belmonts; "I'd give 'em sounds. I'd give 'em parts and stuff. That's what 'I Wonder Why' was near. Nosotros kind of invented this percussive rhythmic sound. If you lot listen to that song, everybody was doing something different. At that place's iv guys, i guy was doing bass, I was singing lead, i guy's going 'ooh wah ooh,' and another guy's doing tenor. It was totally amazing. When I mind to it today, frequently I retrieve, 'man, those kids are talented.'"[39]

Their initial hit was followed by "No Ane Knows" and "Don't Pity Me", which also charted the Billboard Top 100. This success won a place for Dion and the Belmonts on the sick-fated "The Winter Dance Party" bout with Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, the Large Bopper (J.P. Richardson), Frankie Sardo, and other performers. On Feb three, 1959, afterwards a concert finish in Clear Lake, Iowa, Holly and others decided to charter a flight to the next venue rather than travel on the tour coach. Dion was invited to back-trail the grouping simply decided that he did not want to spend $36 for the flying, equally it was the aforementioned monthly rent his parents paid for his childhood flat and he could not justify the indulgence.[40] [41] The plane crashed, killing all on board: Holly, Valens, Richardson and the airplane pilot Roger Peterson. Dion and the Belmonts continued on the tour, along with Frankie Sardo, while Bobby Vee (and then an unknown artist) performed in Holly's place at the very next concert.[42] Later, Jimmy Clanton, Frankie Avalon, and Fabian were added to replace the other now-deceased headliners.

Dion and the Belmonts' next single, "A Teenager in Love", was released in March 1959, eventually striking No. 5 on the U.S. pop charts and No. 28 in the UK.[43] The group's biggest hit, "Where or When", was released in November of that year, and reached No. iii on the U.South. charts. However, in early on 1960, Dion checked into hospital for heroin addiction, a problem he had had since his mid-teens.[44] Further unmarried releases for the group that year were less successful. At that place were musical, personal and fiscal differences between Dion and members of the Belmonts, and in October 1960, Dion decided to quit for a solo career.[45] By the time of their breakdown, all eight Laurie releases had charted on the Hot 100.

Solo distinction and touring worldwide: 1960–1964 [edit]

Past the end of 1960, Dion produced his first solo anthology on Laurie Records, Alone with Dion, released in 1961.[46] The single "Lonely Teenager" rose to No. 12 in the U.s.a. charts. The name on his solo releases was simply "Dion". Follow-ups "Havin' Fun" and "Kissin' Game" had less success, and the signs were that Dion would drift onto the cabaret circuit.[47] All the same, he then recorded an up-tempo number co-written with Ernie Maresca with a new vocal group, the Del-Satins. The record, "Runaround Sue", stormed up the U.S. charts, reaching No. 1 in October 1961, and No. eleven in the UK,[43] where he likewise toured. "Runaround Sue" sold over a million copies, achieving gold disc condition.[48]

For the next unmarried, Laurie promoted the A-side, "The Majestic", but it was the B-side, Maresca's "The Wanderer", which received more radio play and climbed swiftly upwards the charts to reach No. 2 in the U.Due south. in February 1962 and No. ten in the UK. The 1976 re-release made the Uk Top 20.[43]

By the end of 1961, Dion had get a major star, touring worldwide and making an advent in the Columbia Pictures musical film Twist Around the Clock. In 1962, he followed with a string of singles he wrote or co-wrote including "Lovers Who Wander" (No. 3), "Little Diane" (No. 8), "Dear Came to Me" (No. 10). He also had successful albums with Runaround Sue and Lovers Who Wander.[49]

At the end of 1962, Dion moved from Laurie to Columbia Records. He was the first rock and gyre artist signed to the label, which was an bibelot considering that its then-A&R director, Mitch Miller, loathed that detail genre of music.[ citation needed ] The first Columbia single, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller'southward "Carmine Baby" (originally a hit for the Drifters) reached No. 2, while "Donna the Prima Donna" and "Baste Drop" (another remake of a Drifters hitting) both reached No. 6 in late 1963. (Dion besides recorded an Italian version of "Donna the Prima Donna" using the identical backup vocals.) His other Columbia releases were less successful, and issues with his drug addiction[l] and irresolute public tastes, especially the British Invasion, saw a catamenia of commercial pass up.

Belmonts reunion and renewed contract: 1965–1968 [edit]

Following a European bout, Dion returned to the U.S. and was introduced to classic blues by Columbia'southward John Hammond. To the consternation of his direction, he began recording more than blues-oriented material, including Willie Dixon'south "Hoochie Coochie Man" and "Spoonful", but these releases – some produced past Tom Wilson, with Al Kooper on keyboards – were not commercially successful. In 1965, still with Columbia, Dion formed a new group to back him, The Wanderers, equanimous of John Falbo on guitar, Pete Baron (Pete Falciglia) on bass, and Carlo Mastrangelo of the Belmonts on drums. They made national appearances on Dick Clark'southward, Where The Activeness Is, and The Lloyd Thaxton Evidence.

In June 1965 he recorded boyfriend Columbia Records's contemporary Bob Dylan's composition "Information technology's All Over At present, Baby Blueish" a one-half-yr before Them (featuring Van Morrison)'s hit version.

In 1966–67, Dion briefly reunited with the Belmonts, recording the LP Together Once again for ABC Records. The album was unsuccessful, despite one classic self-penned vocal, "My Girl the Calendar month of May". Two singles were released from the LP. While neither charted in the United States, they fared amend in the UK. "My Girl The Month of May" entered the Radio London "Fab 40" at No. 9 the week of Dec 25, 1966.

The follow up, "Movin' Man", reached No. 17 on the "Radio London" charts on Easter Dominicus, March 26, 1967. "My Daughter The Month of May" was later covered by English artists Alan Bown in 1967, and Isle Records artists The Agglomeration (featuring Sandy Denny and other members of Fairport Convention) in April 1972. During their cursory mid-60's reunion, Dion and the Belmonts appeared on the popular Clay Cole Testify performing "Berimbau" and "My Daughter The Month of May",[51] and occasionally performed at local New York City clubs such as "The Mardi Gras" on Staten Isle (April 29, 1967) before disbanding.

Pepper'due south Lone Hearts Club Band in 1967.[52]

The Red Baron") in response to the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy.[56] The success of this song (released past Dion in August 1968 and after recorded by many others including Marvin Gaye) which reached No. 4 in the US charts and No. ane in Canada, resuscitated Dion's career.
