Dion performed his 1961 No.1 hit single “Runaround Sue” in July 2022. Dion was 83 years old at this concert. His vocals were amazingly strong along with his superb guitar playing and commanding stage presence. The backing band truly rocked the house, which gave those early ‘60s songs a contemporary musical appeal. When watching Dion perform and tell stories of his early years in the music industry, it dawns on you that one of the founding fathers of rock and roll is alive and well and standing in front of you and beloved by the audience. Dion Francis DiMucci released his first recording in 1957. He had a hit single in 1958 with “The Belmonts” backing vocals and Dion was part of the ill-fated “The Winter Dance Party” tour when Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper died from a plane crash on February 3, 1959. All this happened before there was a Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, or the Beach Boys. For a history student of rock music, this was a special moment watching Dion perform live.
