Happy Birthday to Dion and Martha
Written by admin on July 18, 2010 – 7:00 am -Two of the great group leaders of the golden era of popular music share a birthday today. Dion DiMucci hits 71 and Martha Reeves hits 69.
Lets enjoy two classic songs from each.
Dion DiMucci
Dion DiMucci was only 18 years old when he scored a top 20 hit with his band the Belmonts in early 1958. The song was “I Wonder Why” and other classic songs such as “Teenager in Love” followed before Dion went solo in 1960. Dion’s biggest chart success actually came after his time with the Belmonts, with the smash hits “Runaround Sue” (#1) and “The Wanderer” (#2). The Del-Satins backed Dion on these tracks, but it is common for the Belmonts to be wrongly credited on both.

Dion – “Wonder Where I’m Bound”
Written by admin on June 12, 2010 – 8:53 pm -| Dion DiMucci’s lost folk-rock masterpiece, “Wonder Where I’m Bound,” has finally been issued on CD.
“Wonder Where I’m Bound” was originally released in 1969 in the wake of Dion’s “Abraham, Martin and John” comeback single, which had reached number four on the pop charts. The single was the latest in a string of successes for producer Phil Gernhard, who had turned to Dion to record it after reportedly considering and rejecting around 300 acts. |
