Dion DiMucci - Discography - 320kbps

Dion DiMucci


Bridging the era between late-'50s rock and the British Invasion, Dion DiMucci (born July 18, 1939) was one of the top white rock singers of his time, blending the best elements of doo wop, teen idol, and R&B styles. Some revisionists have tried to cast him as a sort of early blue-eyed soul figure, although he was probably more aligned with pop/rock, at first as the lead singer of the Belmonts, and then as a solo star. Drug problems slowed him down in the mid-'60s, yet he made some surprisingly interesting progressions into blues-rock and folk-rock as the decade wore on, culminating in a successful comeback in the late '60s, although he was unable to sustain its commercial and artistic momentum for long.

When Dion began recording in the late '50s, it was as the lead singer of a group of friends who sang on Bronx street corners. Billing themselves Dion & the Belmonts (Dion had released a previous single with the Timberlanes), their first few records were prime Italian-American doo wop; "I Wonder Why" was their biggest hit in this style. Dion's biggest single with the Belmonts was "A Teenager in Love," which pointed the way for the slightly self-pitying, pained odes to adolescence and early adulthood that would characterize much of his solo work.

G'day Ozzieguy and thanks for the Dion collection. I especially like his more recent blues & roots albums, they are underrated gems. Also, did you know he was there on that fateful Winter Dance Party with Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and The Big Bopper? There is a video on youtube where he tells the story (believe it or not!)

Ozzieguy said...

Hello Marty,
Yes they are very nice indeed mate.
No I did not know about the fateful Winter Dance Party and mate I will go and check it out.
I hope that you are doing well my friend.
Regards
Allan
