ARTIST BACKGROUND

About Dion

Dion is the Bronx singer Dion DiMucci, who first became widely known with the Belmonts before establishing his own solo identity. Runaround Sue and The Wanderer were central to that solo period. His later work moved toward a more reflective folk-based approach, including Abraham, Martin and John, while occasional Belmonts reunions remained separately credited events.
