Dion and the Belmont’s were the most successful white doo wop
group of the late fifties white teen idols. Dion and his music
represent a special time and place…a moment when a song could
mean so much and a singer could sum up what it means to be
young, in love and on top of the world.
Dion, street poet and singer of extraordinary versatility, range and
resonance defined Rock “n” Roll for a generation.
Dion broke from the clean-cut pack with an engagingly cool,
streetwise swagger epitomized by “the Wanderer.” He had Top
Ten hits with “Runaround Sue”; Ruby Baby; Drip Drop; Donna the
Prima Donna; to name a few.
