@@idipped2521 I have been thinking this sine 1995. 😋 But it is lonnnnnng overdue to have a movie based on his life. And I would love to see a correct movie done of Buddy Holly's life too.
Thanks Dion! I'm 65 & the first song I learned the words to was the "Wanderer" somehow it gave me an attitude to go on. Later I too became an I.V. drug user & after my 3rd incarceration I started reading the Bible & I woke up, took responsibility for my actions. I've been sober with the help of Jesus 10 years but not me, He who lives in me! I love you brother & God Bless!
I know that you are amazed to get a text from me, I just want to appreciate you for your likes, comments and good wishes that encourages me and I hope to bring you good music and much entertainment ❤
@@codzy3532 Thanks so much for your love and support from onset, it's a thing of joy that I'm blessed with a best fans, thank you so much, I do appreciate you and everyone out there.
Man, I can relate. I was a drunk for years and had lost hope. I got on my knees, begged the Lord to forgive me, and to help me with my addiction. I got up, off my knees, and haven't touched a drop since. I know that it was His love and mercy, that saved me from myself. I love and praise you, my dear Lord.🙌🙏🙌
@@stevenwiederholt7000 But you did care, that's why you felt compelled to leave that original comment. It was more to that one sentence than you NOT caring.
Thank you Dion for your Gospel records. My wife and I became Christians in 1986 and someone introduced me to Dions Christian music. It made such a difference in my life, and to this day, I still go back to it when I need to get back to my first love for Jesus!
I remember listening in the fall of 1961 to Dion's music on KNUZ in Houston. Dion was supposed to have been a passenger on the little airplane with Buddy Holly and other musicians who were killed in that plane crash. Instead, he had decided to go by car. That helped to set him thinking about what really mattered. In the 1980s Dion came up to me and introduced himself after a Sunday morning service at North Dade Church of God in Miami. His daughter was studying music at our church college, Warner Southern, in Lake Wales. Thanks for sharing this.
From Sue that doesnt run around . I tried everything except drink and drugs , all New age stuff . It didnt work for me . God was working something out for me . I am not from a Italian background although most of my friends from church are . My background is Irish . But , every week we sing " I have decided to follow Jesus" At Sacred Heart church. Thank be to God for your testimony Dion . May you be forever blessed . There are so many rock musicians coming to Christ what ever way they express their faith . It can honestly be said that the Devil does not have all the good music . They are not preaching in the pulpit . They are preaching to the Mosh pit. And it is working .
Dion is a living legend. He was on the tour bus with Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper, and Ritchie Valens. In another video he tells the whole story about the events leading up the day the music died.
Dion is a deep and talented chap & he surrounds himself with so talented up beat musicians and singers. Honestly his Christian songs are some of the most thought provoking and easy listening where ya say Amen and tap your toes and snap your fingers. He truly is a genius. Christ has him and he has Christ. Your in for a treat to listen to his secular and gospel songs.
One of the truly gifted artists of early rock. I always enjoyed listening to him as the link between the Sinatra type lounge singer and the new rock and roll.
Dion you are the greatest!!! I am turning 77 in May and I grew up listening to Dion and The Belmonts... I still love the doowop ara. Fabian, Fats Domino, Little Richard, Bobby Darin, The Big Bopper, Buddy Holly, and all the greats.. Including all the great groups like The Platters, and The Spinners
Thank you for your “I put away my idols” album……such a gift from God! As a young mother my children grew up listening to it each day and it continues to bless me as a part of my daily 3 mile worship walk on my treadmill. My addiction has always been with food and after struggling for so many years with my weight (I’m 68) I’m in a good place and you’re music blesses me through the grace of God. Amen 🙏🏼🕊
A true American Icon ! SUPERB music always, I am a South Floridian and grew up on Dion, we even have a mutual friend J. Carrington, he is a genius. Keep on rockin Dion , we love you.

I AM 73 YEARS OLD NOW BUT I REMEMBER LISTENING TO " RUN AROUND SUE AND THE WANDERER" ON THE JUKE BOX IN THE BOWLING ALLEY IN THE EARLY SIXTIES AS A YOUNG BOY! "ABRAHAM, MARTIN, AND JOHN" IN 1969 AS A HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE, I SAW HIM IN CENTRAL PARK AT A FREE CONCERT IN THE LATE 1970'S WHEN AT THE END OF THE SHOW HE SAID TO THE AUDIENCE " THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME WHEN I COULD NOT LOVE MYSELF" MOST RECENTLY I LOVED HIS REMAKE OF THE SONG "BORN TO BE WITH YOU"THANK YOU FATHER GOD FOR SAVING DION DI MUCCI FROM DRUGS AND FOR BLESSING HIM WITH FAITH AND SPIRITUAL GROWTH!
I assumed he passed away a long time ago. I was born in 1979, but would hear is music and my grandmas house, my dad's Aunt's. Car shows and the movie Christine.... i grew up with it, but was more into the 70s and 80s especially hair band music. Just recently i've got a whole new appreciation for some of the 50s songs. This was a really cool clip. Thank you for the upload
i found the album i put away my idols in 84 still listen to it today thank you dion for your music its a blessing i said to my bf do you know dion di mucci that sang the wanderer an run around sue is a born again christian im so happy for him praise God God bless u dion keep blessing us with your music God bless everyone too amen 😊❤🙏💐🥀
Dion’s story about how he almost was on the plane that crashed and killed Buddy Holly, Big Bopper, and Richie Valens is very interesting. Something was looking after him and kept him off that plane the “Day the Music Died”. His story is on RUclips - I recommend watching it.
Hello 👋 marauder How're you doing. Thanks for this comment, I'm nothing without fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness It's nice meeting you here.
@@Dion-iu4sg I'd really like to hope the real Dion would comment to his fans, but I just have a hard time believing you're actually him, when you only have 1 subscriber
We can't censor things, just because some folks have a struggle. If we stopped every single thing that "triggered" people there would be nothing left to experience.
The man is awesome. He called me at my house for some artwork i did of him. He deserves a movie based on his life.
I was just thinking they should make a movie about him yesterday
@@idipped2521 I have been thinking this sine 1995. 😋 But it is lonnnnnng overdue to have a movie based on his life. And I would love to see a correct movie done of Buddy Holly's life too.
I agree!
He had an omen and his story is a book of ups and downs. And music saved his mortal soul...the day the music died!!
@@lyleanderson8160 I have his book.
Dion looks amazing. No way does he look 83 in this interview. Keep on going strong Dion. 💪💪
One of the greatest artists of all time and still a humble,beautiful person.

He stopped using after he lost his friend, Frankie Lymon.
He did, but he’s still alive as well.
Those of us who grew up in those days of the 1960s remember his music well.

I’m 75, and growing up in the 50’s and 60’s, great music! Many Singers/Groups were of Italian decent or Black Americans. The best!
Thing is I don't recall it even mattering.

I never knew he sang songs about the LORD‼️ please tell me what the titles are!
In youtube search box type in Dion Dimucci gospel songs and you will get lots of vids on his Christian songs.

Love your work Dion and I'm glad for you and your sobriety ❤
His Christian albums are awesome! The truth will set you free.....

How does he look so young? Did he make a deal with the devil?
Hello 👋 marauder
How're you doing.
Thanks for this comment, I'm nothing without fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness
It's nice meeting you here.
No, clean living after turning to Lord Jesus.
No, he made an eternal deal with the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords

I wish he would tour with Frankie Avalon and James darrin now that bobby rydell is gone.
Dion is brilliant. But whoever made the video used screaming fans from Elvis Presley concerts not Dions.
Many people used Mightly of God got started in 1968. For whatever reason The Holy Ghost was Movin

Drugs... Why do good people use them?

EWTN, is it necessary to show the clips of drug use and paraphernalia in between? This can trigger people.
It's real life. Maybe some shouldn't watch then.
If you can't handle the harsh realities of life then that's your problem, not anyone else's.
We can't censor things, just because some folks have a struggle. If we stopped every single thing that "triggered" people there would be nothing left to experience.
He was trafficked.
No
He has no clue what drug addiction is. He might have smoked pot or some booze that's it
He was a stone cold heroin junkie.
How much time did you spend in his life?
Awesome!!!
