Dion Christian folk rock inspired me to become a Christian along with Christian radio, but Dions words moved me to Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. He runs away after concert. I wanted album autographed. No way Jose.
What Dion had that many artists didn't have and couldn't learn, and you can hear it in his vocals -- was attitude. That's why Lou Reed loved this guy and he's still performing today at 75+. You have rock & roll with Elvis, you have smooth diversified professionalism with Bobby Darin, and attitude with Dion DiMucci. And two of them came from the freaking Bronx, New York. Yeah...Dion sings and records blues today, and he is incredible. Dion, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry & Little Richard (and you know, considering that he's still performing live & recording I would have to add Chubby Checker to that list) --- they are the last in a long line of legendary performers. What a career. This too -- one hot performance.
This song is an electric blues-rock guitarist's dream! I could solo an hour on top of this great rhythm. Good example of a tune I could listen back-to-back for a long time!
We saw Dion (2) times in Rochester, Michigan at Meadow Brook on the Oakland University campus by the Dodge Mansion in the 1990's & he put on a great concert! We sat right up front about 5 rows back. Also, at the concert were the great Everly Brothers! What a show for they did all their hits! The Wanderer gets everyone rocking! Dion still has it! Tony Trotta
@@markoberacher8191 February 3 that is what they say but I can think of so many great groups in the 1960's who made great music. The 60's was a who's who of great music! Dion was on that winter tour and claims fate saved him.
from the '50s to the present one of the best ever. music i always seem to come back to. dion has always been a very ,very special talent and my all time favorite.
In high school, I liked the song "Runaround Sue" and bought the record. My best friend had been dating the head cheerleader, a statuesque redhead of uncommon beauty. She was from the wealthy side of town and everyone knew her. And, her name was Sue. After graduation, she dropped y friend like a rock and went off to college. At some point, asked to borrow the record. I don't remember if I ever got it back, but my friend never recovered.
I love the dude laughing, mockingly, in the back - especially after Bobby says "he's The King of the Bronx man, The King of Fordham Road.” Then, Dion comes out with some serious 'tude and rocks it!
You have to ✔️ the lyrics, especially the last verse. People called me the scandalizer The world was my appetizer I turned gangs into fertilizer King of the New York streets I broke hearts like window panes For breakfast I'd eat nails and chains To my kingdom I'd proclaim King of the New York streets I floored my accelerator All the way to the equator Just a local gladiator King of the New York streets Well, I was only sixteen years old So what could I have known? In my mind these passing years The legend sure has grown People come from miles around To see my royal tenement crown Always up and never down King of the New York streets Schools gave me nothing needed To my throne I proceeded Every warning went unheeded King of the New York streets I stood tall from all this feeling I bumped my head on heaven's ceiling Shooting dice and double-dealing King of the New York streets Each time I jumped behind the wheel Of a pin-striped custom Oldsmobile The guys would bow and the girls would squeal King of the New Yrk streets Local bullies I deflated Back street jive that I translated Top Ten girls were all that I dated King of the New York streets I didn't need no bodyguard I just ruled from my backyard Living fast, living hard King of the New York streets Well, I was wise in my own eyes I awoke one day and I realized You know this attitude comes from cocaine lies
I would bet you 20 bux that the bass guitarist that is singing backing vocals stage left of Dion is also an Elvis impersonator. Probably a pretty good one.
Best back up band.....johnny n jamie....AKA the wanderers.dumucci didnt deserve the wanderers...so old dion fu.ked the wanderers over...new band not so good...sincerely young DION

I had the priviledge of meeting Dion when he was 16 and strumming and singing in the Bronx at CYO dances. A legend!

Dion is one of the true rock n rollers the guy is proper quality xxxx
I saw him do this song live. When he played that guitar solo a moshpit almost broke out. Awesome track.
A Real down to earth guy. I still adore Teenager in Love. Saw him in Torrington Ct 2004, Fabulous
Absolutely a LEGEND! He toured with Buddy Holly Richie Valens And Big Boper! Dion turned his life around from drugs and still is AMAZING! 👍👌👏💯🔥😎

Genuinely a good man. Did a fundrauser for my uncle's school in the Bronx.
love this the attitude king hats off to Dion
Is 77 now and still has the pipes and looks great. I think his Mom is 102 and he's been sober since 1968.
Go Dion.
I've been really wasted since 1968 does his Mum want a date?
Dion shows the Divine Mercy of our Father God 🙏 Viva Cristo Rey 🙏
Love your comment but that's when the music stop didn't it?

He will be 84 this July. Born in 1939.

A+, for Mr. Dimucci at the crossroads and the universe forevermore with Ryan Blount ❤
Can't believe the voice, the lyrics are poetry.

King of the Bronx!! Love you Dion!!
Hes 84 yrs old now and still performing.
This is complete and total greatness.
counting the hours to see him perform!!!! it's been years.
he is raw he is real, like it!!
I happened to stumble upon a cassette when they were popular, put it in, started cruising and fell in love with Dion's talent and coolness.
What a badass!!!
King of the New York Streets! The Belmonts FOREVER!!!!
AWESOME ----NO OTHER WORDS FOR THIS --- AWESOME
I love the dude laughing, mockingly, in the back - especially after Bobby says "he's The King of the Bronx man, The King of Fordham Road.” Then, Dion comes out with some serious 'tude and rocks it!
He started in Lindenhurst, New York he got a round with Runaround Sue. You get better with age, like a fine wine.
Love this guy! Always did, always will! What more can I say?
You have to ✔️ the lyrics, especially the last verse.
People called me the scandalizer
The world was my appetizer
I turned gangs into fertilizer
King of the New York streets I broke hearts like window panes
For breakfast I'd eat nails and chains
To my kingdom I'd proclaim
King of the New York streets I floored my accelerator
All the way to the equator
Just a local gladiator
King of the New York streets Well, I was only sixteen years old
So what could I have known? In my mind these passing years
The legend sure has grown People come from miles around
To see my royal tenement crown
Always up and never down
King of the New York streets Schools gave me nothing needed
To my throne I proceeded
Every warning went unheeded
King of the New York streets I stood tall from all this feeling
I bumped my head on heaven's ceiling
Shooting dice and double-dealing
King of the New York streets Each time I jumped behind the wheel
Of a pin-striped custom Oldsmobile
The guys would bow and the girls would squeal
King of the New Yrk streets Local bullies I deflated
Back street jive that I translated
Top Ten girls were all that I dated
King of the New York streets I didn't need no bodyguard
I just ruled from my backyard
Living fast, living hard
King of the New York streets Well, I was wise in my own eyes
I awoke one day and I realized
You know this attitude comes from cocaine lies
Damn...that last line...thanks for scribing it because I would have missed it 🔥
Incredible lyrics! Guy is brilliant!
Awesome sound!!
I would bet you 20 bux that the bass guitarist that is singing backing vocals stage left of Dion is also an Elvis impersonator. Probably a pretty good one.
Love Dion !!! From the "get-go" !!
