Dion: On The Dancefloor With Dion DiMucci (CD)

1-CD (Digipak) with 36 page booklet, 29 tracks. Total playing time approx. 78 min.

Bear Family Records® welcomes Dion DiMucci - one of the most successful artists of his generation - to our 'Dancefloor' series.
He was the lead singer in Dion and The Belmonts (I Wonder Why, A Teenager In Love, Where Or When) and as a solo artist landed major hits such as Lonely Teenager, Runaround Sue, The Wanderer, Ruby Baby and Donna The Prima Donna.
This album, compiled by Nico Feuerbach with liner notes written by Bill Dahl based on a interview with Dion, describes Dion's career from a '50s rocker to a '60s pop star!
Dion: popular worldwide at the latest since the Warner film success 'The Wanderers' in 1979.
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!

Customer evaluation for "On The Dancefloor With Dion DiMucci (CD)"

From: T-Rex On: 19 Jan 2025

Average Sound Quality

This CD is a good compilation of Dion's hits on Laurie and Columbia records. As expected the booklet has good info and pictures, especially the comprehensive discography.

If you are familiar with Dion's CDs released by Ace Records then you will notice that the sound quality could be better or at least the same as what you get on Ace's CDs. I'm not saying that it is bad but it does not seem that the tracks were remastered from the original master tapes. For example we miss the prominent handclap on Runaround Sue and Lovers Who Wander.

There are also two flaws: I Got The Blues was record by Dion and The Belmonts, not Dion alone. And the version of Donna the Prima Donna is the not the original 1964 Columbia release but the alternate version released on the Dion's Bronx Blues cd.

Overall this CD is ok but Bear Family could have done better.

If you have to own only one CD of Dion then this is definitely the one to get

I know I've posted this cd earlier this week when it was delivered in the mail. Now I have to post it again during my first listen. That's because I'm convinced this is the best release of 2024, it can't be beaten!
Sure I already owned every song but hearing all these great songs back to back is something else. No interruption by mediocre tracks. Gem after gem! Dion's swagger is getting across better than ever. So great.
