{"product_id":"singles-albums-collection-1957-62-cd","title":"Singles \u0026 Albums Collection 1957-62 [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eDion DiMucci was one of many significant names of the rock 'n' roll era to emerge from the Italian diaspora of the USA's north-western states, his career encompassing doowop-influenced early hits with Dion \u0026amp; The Belmonts followed by landmark solo successes, all within the space of a few intense years of chart action. Born in the Bronx in 1939, he was the son of a vaudeville entertainer and came to music early, singing on street corners and in bars, auditioning for producers for whom he made records as Dion \u0026amp; The Timberlanes for the Mohawk label, before assembling the Belmonts to get a deal with the New York label Laurie, making the charts with I Wonder Why. The Top 5 Teenager In Love and No.3 Where or When followed and they had nine hits before Dion left to go solo in 1960, and over the next three years he had a dozen hits including the classics Runaround Sue, a No. 1, and The Wanderer a No. 2. This excellent-value 58-track 2-CD set comprises the A \u0026amp; B sides of his early Mohawk releases, plus the A \u0026amp; B sides of the Dion \u0026amp; The Belmonts singles and Dion solo singles during this era, along with selected titles from the Dion \u0026amp; The Belmonts LPs Presenting Dion \u0026amp; The Belmonts and When You Wish Upon A Star, and from Dion's solo albums Alone With Dion, Runaround Sue and Lovers Who Wander. It naturally includes the 22 chart entries he had across the two phases of his career during these years, and provides a fine showcase for his highly distinctive style as a vocalist both in the group format and solo, and underlines why his contribution to rock 'n' roll was so significant.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Chosen Few\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOut in Colorado\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTag Along\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe Went Away\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Wonder Why\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeen Angel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo - One Knows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Can't Go on, Rosalie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Pity Me 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust You 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Teenager in Love 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI've Cried Before 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery Little Thing I Do 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Lover's Prayer 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhere or When 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThat's My Desire 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen You Wish Upon a Star 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWonderful Girl 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the Still of the Night 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Funny Feeling 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLonely Teenager 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Miss Blue 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHavin' Fun 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNorth East End of the Corner 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKissin' Game 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeaven Help Me 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomebody Nobody Wants 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCould Somebody Take My Place Tonight 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunaround Sue 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRunaway Girl 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Wanderer 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Majestic 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLovers Who Wander 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(I Was) Born to Cry 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Diane 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLost for Sure 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLove Came to Me 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Girl 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuby Baby 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHe'll Only Hurt You 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Better Not Do That 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Got the Blues 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Private Joy 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Day 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll the Things That You Are 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Through with Love 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter the Dance 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eP.S.
