Musical artist

Dion Francis DiMucci [nineteen] (built-in July 18, 1939),[20] amend known just as Dion, is an American singer and songwriter whose music has incorporated elements of doo-wop, stone, R&B and blues. Initially as lead vocaliser of Dion and the Belmonts, and then in his solo career, he was one of the most popular American rock and whorl performers of the pre-British Invasion era.[21] He had 39 Acme 40 hits in the belatedly 1950s and early on 1960s as a solo performer, with the Belmonts or with the Del-Satins.[22] He is all-time remembered for the singles "Runaround Sue", "The Wanderer", "Ruddy Baby" and "Lovers Who Wander", among other hits.[23]

Dion'due 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 tardily 1960s until the mid-1970s,[25] and continued making music.[26] During the 1980s, Dion produced several Christian albums, winning a GMA Dove Award in 1984 for the album I Put Abroad My Idols.[27] [28] He returned to secular music in the late 1980s with Yo Frankie (1989).[29] Between the mid-2000s and 2021, Dion released six chart-topping blues albums.[30] Critics who had dismissed his early work, labeling him equally a teen idol, praised his later work and noted the influence he has had on other musicians.[19]

A Grammy-nominated artist,[31] Dion has released over xl albums, and scored 11 Top 10 hits (including with the Belmonts) on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[32] He was inducted into the Stone and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989.[33] In 2002, Dion was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for "Runaround Sue".[34]

Early on life [edit]

Dion was built-in to an Italian-American family in the Bronx, New York.[35] Every bit a child, he accompanied his father, Pasquale DiMucci, a vaudeville entertainer, on tour, and developed a love of country music – particularly the work of Hank Williams. He likewise 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 on 1957, he auditioned for Bob and Cistron Schwartz for their short-lived Mohawk Records label.[37] They asked Dion to sing a vocal which had been arranged by Hugo Montenegro and recorded featuring Vic Damone doing vocals. At showtime Dion refused, stating the song would sound like something his onetime fashioned parents would listen to, just the Schwartzes convinced him to requite it a endeavour. The bankroll vocals were by a group called "the Timberlanes", whom Dion had never met.[38] The resulting unmarried, "The Called Few", was released under the proper name "Dion and the Timberlanes", and became a minor regional striking. In a 2022 interview at "Crashing the Political party" (a radio plan related to Norton Records in Brooklyn, New York), Dion stated that "The Chosen Few" hit the Meridian X locally in Boston, which enabled him to perform this song on American Bandstand (where the kids at the evidence started screaming during his performance and gave him his offset 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 – iii guys – and we called ourselves Dion and the Belmonts."[39]

Music career [edit]

Ancestry with the Belmonts: 1957–1960 [edit]

Bob and Gene Schwartz signed Dion'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 group's quantum came in early on 1958, when "I Wonder Why" (on their newly formed Laurie Records) made No. 22 on the U.Southward. charts. Dion said of the Belmonts; "I'd give 'em sounds. I'd give 'em parts and stuff. That'south what 'I Wonder Why' was about. We kind of invented this percussive rhythmic audio. If y'all listen to that vocal, everybody was doing something different. There'south four guys, one guy was doing bass, I was singing atomic number 82, ane guy's going 'ooh wah ooh,' and another guy'south doing tenor. It was totally amazing. When I listen to information technology today, often I think, 'man, those kids are talented.'"[39]

Their initial hitting was followed past "No One Knows" and "Don't Pity Me", which also charted the Billboard Tiptop 100. This success won a place for Dion and the Belmonts on the ill-blighted "The Winter Dance Political party" tour with Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, the Big Bopper (J.P. Richardson), Frankie Sardo, and other performers. On February three, 1959, after a concert stop in Clear Lake, Iowa, Holly and others decided to charter a flight to the next venue rather than travel on the bout omnibus. Dion was invited to accompany the group but decided that he did not want to spend $36 for the flight, equally it was the aforementioned monthly rent his parents paid for his babyhood flat and he could not justify the indulgence.[40] [41] The airplane 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 so an unknown artist) performed in Holly's place at the very adjacent 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 hitting No. 5 on the U.S. popular charts and No. 28 in the UK.[43] The grouping's biggest hitting, "Where or When", was released in Nov of that yr, and reached No. 3 on the U.S. charts. However, in early 1960, Dion checked into hospital for heroin habit, a problem he had had since his mid-teens.[44] Further single releases for the group that year were less successful. There were musical, personal and financial 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 breakup, all viii Laurie releases had charted on the Hot 100.

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

Past the terminate of 1960, Dion produced his first solo anthology on Laurie Records, Lone with Dion, released in 1961.[46] The single "Lonely Teenager" rose to No. 12 in the United states charts. The proper noun on his solo releases was merely "Dion". Follow-ups "Havin' Fun" and "Kissin' Game" had less success, and the signs were that Dion would drift onto the cabaret circuit.[47] However, he then recorded an upwards-tempo number co-written with Ernie Maresca with a new song group, the Del-Satins. The record, "Runaround Sue", stormed up the U.S. charts, reaching No. i in Oct 1961, and No. xi in the UK,[43] where he as well toured. "Runaround Sue" sold over a million copies, achieving gold disc status.[48]

For the next single, Laurie promoted the A-side, "The Majestic", but it was the B-side, Maresca's "The Wanderer", which received more than radio play and climbed swiftly up the charts to attain No. 2 in the U.Due south. in February 1962 and No. 10 in the UK. The 1976 re-release fabricated the UK Acme 20.[43]

Past the end of 1961, Dion had become a major star, touring worldwide and making an appearance in the Columbia Pictures musical moving-picture show Twist Around the Clock. In 1962, he followed with a string of singles he wrote or co-wrote including "Lovers Who Wander" (No. iii), "Fiddling Diane" (No. viii), "Love Came to Me" (No. 10). He also had successful albums with Runaround Sue and Lovers Who Wander.[49]

At the terminate of 1962, Dion moved from Laurie to Columbia Records. He was the first rock and whorl artist signed to the label, which was an bibelot because that its then-A&R director, Mitch Miller, loathed that particular genre of music.[ citation needed ] The get-go Columbia single, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller's "Ruby Baby" (originally a hitting for the Drifters) reached No. 2, while "Donna the Prima Donna" and "Drip Drop" (some other remake of a Drifters hit) both reached No. 6 in late 1963. (Dion as well 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[50] and irresolute public tastes, especially the British Invasion, saw a catamenia of commercial decline.

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

Following a European tour, Dion returned to the U.S. and was introduced to classic blues by Columbia'southward John Hammond. To the consternation of his management, he began recording more blues-oriented material, including Willie Dixon's "Hoochie Coochie Man" and "Spoonful", just these releases – some produced by Tom Wilson, with Al Kooper on keyboards – were not commercially successful. In 1965, all the same 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's, Where The Activeness Is, and The Lloyd Thaxton Show. A number of self-penned tracks were recorded and released unsuccessfully equally singles, and did not appear in anthology format until years later. In June 1965 he recorded boyfriend Columbia Records'south contemporary Bob Dylan'south composition "It'due south All Over Now, Babe Blue" a half-year earlier Them (featuring Van Morrison)'s striking version.

In 1966–67, Dion briefly reunited with the Belmonts, recording the LP Together Again for ABC Records. The album was unsuccessful, despite 1 archetype self-penned song, "My Girl the Month of May". Ii singles were released from the LP. While neither charted in the United States, they fared amend in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland. "My Girl The Month of May" entered the Radio London "Fab 40" at No. 9 the week of December 25, 1966. A 'turntable' hit at London underground clubs like Middle Earth, the disc received a lot of play from pirate radio DJ's John Peel and Kenny Everett. The follow upwards, "Movin' Man", reached No. 17 on the "Radio London" charts on Easter Sunday, March 26, 1967. "My Girl The Month of May" was later covered past English artists Alan Bown in 1967, and Island Records artists The Agglomeration (featuring Sandy Denny and other members of Fairport Convention) in April 1972. During their brief mid-threescore's reunion, Dion and the Belmonts appeared on the popular Clay Cole Show performing "Berimbau" and "My Daughter The Month of May",[51] and occasionally performed at local New York City clubs such equally "The Mardi Gras" on Staten Island (April 29, 1967) earlier disbanding. While Dion'south career appeared to be nearing an cease, he still retained enough credibility to be, along with Bob Dylan, one of only two rock artists featured on the album cover of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Gild Band in 1967.[52]

In April 1968, Dion experienced what he identified as a powerful religious transformation.[53] After getting clean once again from heroin addiction, an experience he documented in his 1970 song "Your Own Backyard",[54] he approached Laurie Records for a new contract.[55] They agreed on the status that he tape the song "Abraham, Martin and John", written by Dick Holler (as well the author of the Royal Guardsmen'due south "Snoopy Vs. 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 Baronial 1968 and later recorded past many others including Marvin Gaye) which reached No. 4 in the Usa charts and No. 1 in Canada, resuscitated Dion's career. It sold over one 1000000 copies and was awarded a gold disc.[57]
