---
The American singer and songwriter Dion DiMucci, or Dion for short, was born in 1939 in the Bronx, New York City. With his vocal group Dion & The Belmonts, he landed the first doo-wop and R'n'R hits in the late 1950s. He left the Belmonts around 1960 and they continued to work without him.
Dion is best known for his solo career with great pop hits such as Lonely Teenager, Runaround Sue, The Wanderer, Ruby Baby and Donna The Prima Donna. He skillfully combined elements of doo-wop, R&B and rock 'n' roll and matured into a versatile and influential figure in the early years of rock music. Over time, he continued to develop as an artist, successfully exploring various genres such as blues and folk.
Dion's influence on the industry and popular music has been significant, his contributions from the early era of rock 'n' roll have cemented his place among the greats of popular music. In 1989, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
With 'On The Dancefloor With Dion DiMucci' Bear Family Records releases an entertaining but above all danceable compilation of some of his greatest songs and beyond!
