How many guys do you know in their late 70’s sound so good?(Dion is 77 in this)! Dion has to be one of the most talented rockers there’s ever been, and he’s still going strong! He’s been doing this since the mid-fifties, that’s now approaching EIGHT DECADES! Yes fans that means he’s definitely one of the all time greats! And he’s a beautiful human being too! We love you Dion ❤️❤️❤️.
I first heard Dion in 2008 and he launched me into a world of 50s era rock that I can hear inspiration derived from in my favorite bands of today like The Strokes and The White Stripes etc...
You must see his new musical called the Wanderer. It's sooooooooo great! Coming to Broadway soon. Just finished it's debut run at Paper Mill Theater. I saw the last show on the 28th. Couldn't sit still!
Dion thank you for this message. You are a true musical living legend. I still play you on my internet radio show Classic Soul and my Doowoop Hour me The Masterblaster .
You bring up great memories of my teenage years. At 14-19 I taught my Italian family: parents, aunts and uncles and our cousins how to dance with your music they had a dance party every month. Oh Jackie Wilson had a great operatic with soul voice and I was in love with Rickie Nelson. Thanks for the memories. I worked in Met life and every break we were in the ladies room with our transistor radio learning the latest dance steps from our black friends.
Hello 👋 lorim 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.
Hello 👋 kelly 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.
I always loved Dion since I heard him for the first time in 1962 singing Ruby Baby. There's a lot of his music, be it ballads, blues, folk or rock and roll that I appreciate. Living in France, I couldn't really learn to know the personality and the musician. So, to a certain extent, with that interview I discover what a great guy he is. And it makes me love him even more. Thanks for all, mister.
A passionate composer lyricist I can feel his urgency Blessed with a fabulous voice and warm personna. I am a forever fan of Dions genius! L.Russell Brown
I met Dion in 1987; in a small little gymnasium just NE of Grand Rapids, Michigan! He played to us there in concert, had a testimony about how God dealt with his life and Jesus Christ makes all the difference for finding peace
Dion’s music enters your soul & just relishes itself in there ….very few artists & music can do this…..that is why people react to his music so intensely, passionately, & take themselves to a place of enchantment that is hard to top !!! I’ve been a fan from the start, & will always be !!!
Hello 👋 dianned 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.
I bought this CD album when it was released in 2009, to go along with my other collection of Dion music career. Nice job & artists selections. Nice background details here !!
My Grandfather had a business called 'The Belmont Mattress Company'. It was on the corner of 180th Avenue and Belmont Avenue. I spent a lot of time there in the late 50s but Never did run into Dion. He is a legend. Love Him.
Teenager In Love💔 💕...RunAround Sue... 🇺🇸 Abraham,Martin&John🌈 Some of my favorites by "DION" 🎵🎶 Love you respectfully...You R one of the Great musicians of my lifetime, your voice is One of Kind...there is no one that can imitate you...Keep singing, narrating your life stories...they bring us closer to the events, the Artists & to you...l am looking forward to more of your "timeline" stories🎶🎸🎷🎹
Dion is great and awesome, one of the best vocalist ever BUT....with all due respect, regarding Johnny Cash's guitar player, the man that played on all the great Sun Records was Luther Perkins( not Norman Blake.) Blake played wonderful acoustic on some of Cash's Columbia recordings. Luther Perkins was his guitarist on I WALK THE LINE. It's a little thing to over look cause Dion is Dion, one of the best.
Dion is absolutely correct Europeans do know and listen to alot of American jazz, blues and rock. Ask any blues musician how they are appreciated oversea compared to here.
They couldn't be like punk rockers. they were here first Dion. the punk rockers are like them.They try to emulate them! You have get it but you project it backwards. thanks , I don't know how i have never mixed monitors for you or even worked a show that you were on. We have Doo Wop shows here in Wheeling West Virginia or at least we did until the covid hit.
WAY bak '08/'09. Lil sth Bronxabilly BIG Soul singer/scribe/picker. Spirit's real keen but memory 'Wanderers' a lil piece here 'n there. "Flo ohn mah keft arm, Mary ohn mah right, but Janie is the gal that ah'll be with tonite."

Nope - He ain't 77 in this video. The video was recorded in 2008. He was born in 1939 so he would have been 69.

Dion is the real deal, Long live you bro, thanks for all you've done for music.
I first heard Dion in 1958. Her's been my favorite singer ever since!

Incredible Interview with a Legend - Love Dion and his music, not bad for a Boy from the Bronx. His love for other Artists is brilliantly dipicted.

Makes me wanna Lindy! Still love this music listened and danced from 14 to 77.
Broadway needs "A Night With Dion" with this piece being the heart of the show. From day one Dion has always been in the groove.
That would be awesome!!!!

He's probably my greatest idol. Just amazing guy.

Dion is the greatest. Singer alive.awesome loves Jesus.Amen
I could listen to Dion tell stories and play for hours and hours and I do
I’m so thankful that Dion did this wonderful album in tribute to friends and heroes
This was a wonderful production. Proud to be the DP on this. Dion's stories and Crow's backup were such a treat.

this video is unreal. No other generation can brag that they had these kind of videos of those who came before them.
Dion, you've always been my favorite artists I'm almost 68 years old and still rocking myself
Dion?? a real sage on the history of rock& roll.
I bought this CD album when it was released in 2009, to go along with my other collection of Dion music career.

Dion still great
Dion is great and awesome, one of the best vocalist ever BUT....with all due respect, regarding Johnny Cash's guitar player, the man that played on all the great Sun Records was Luther Perkins( not Norman Blake.)

Crow was a friend of mine since HS !970
Link Wray !! ... yeah! ... my older brothers had a PILE of 45s ... jeeeese , wish we still had them ...

He still got it
Super thankyou
i kinda hate how he avoided mentioning the belmonts and carlo
You're the greatest
Professor!

Why in all the modern clips of him he is doing a modified version of the "Wanderer" ?
The coin toss was between Tommy Allsup and Ritchie not Dion
"I Walk the Line" a lot like "Uptown #7," am I reading this right?

*"Be-Bop-A-LuLa" was one of Lennon's 'all-time favorites' because the song 'has it all' where
'R n' R' is concerned*
*"Dion' is 'one cool cat' as was said a long time ago, in another era that is sadly gone now*
(The one thing about him I really don't care for is his irrational 'Faith' in some 'deity' over what
he considers as 'There but for the Grace of God go I' over the plane crash in '59)
*Another way to look at that crash is "There is no 'God watching over anyone, because 'Buddy'
was far more talented than I ever was and I know it and it never bothers me because I have
talents of my own and they're pretty damn good, and why 'God' allowed it to happen makes me
uneasy and makes me think things I don't want in my head*
