Dion started out with the Belmonts in the late 50's-60's. They had some hits including "I Wonder Why", "No One Knows", "A Teenager In Love" & "Where Or When". Dion went solo & had some big hits such as "Runaround Sue", "The Wanderer", "Ruby Baby", "Lonely Teenager", "Donna The Prima Donna" ,"Drip Drop", "Lovers Who Wander", "Little Diane" & "Abraham, Martin & John".
Ty for the reminder.
He's still recording too. A couple of years ago he released a CD of all Blues tunes!!
"And the crowd has no life", you just had me dying with that line!😂😂😂😂😂😂
The reason "the crowd has no life" as you said is because record companies who routinely followed artists and recorded their live performances asked live audiences to save their applause until the end. That way, the artists could get paid for the on-stage work and it's resulting vinyl without booking a studio.😁
I would not be able to contain myself 😂🫨🫨🫨💃💃
I’m pretty sure this is from a movie.
@@kevinhayden4605 Right, it's a scene from the movie Twist Around The Clock.
This is part of a movie. I can only assume the director told those ladies to stare malevolently.
You need to know the narrative of the film that this clip is from to understand the audience reaction.
This is a scene from a movie and the audience are actors - but it used to be considered rude and obnoxious to make noise and move around during an artists performance. Remember, there were no loudspeakers, no big PA, and bands couldn’t play loud, because amplifiers were just starting to be used for some instruments. Instruments such as the saxophone soloing in this song - were just heard at natural volume. Try to place yourself in the technology and etiquette of the time.
This song still contains a lot of doo-wop elements, which had been the style of his previous group The Belmonts.
Im not even sure those are the actual musicians either.
@@orange222... Absolutely!
I hope I didn’t confuse him by making him think they were actually playing. They’re ALL acting!
AB doing Doo Wop reactions is not what I thought I needed tonight, but I was wrong. Love this
Dion is writing songs and performing today in his 80's. Listen to his tribute to MLK, Lincoln & Kennedy. Titled Abraham, Martin, and John. A very moving song.💕
The Wanderer is another one by Dion, you may also like Runaway by Del Shannon, check it out, great reaction
He just did Runaway a few videos back.
@@kevinhayden4605 I saw that immediately after watching this one, felt a bit silly
All great songs 🎵
Dion and the Belmonts song from 1961. He had many songs and albums. They probably told the crowd to be quiet because they were recording this.
This was Dion without the Belmonts. They had already split.
@@jayestahnke9917 Correct. They split in 1960, reunited for an album in 1966 and then again for some performances in 1972 and 1973.
@donnad8664 I liked Dion alone, but loved him with the Belmonts. "I Wonder Why" is my favorite. It's on my playlist and I listen to it a couple of times a week.
Great music.
@@jayestahnke9917 My favorite Dion song is Abraham, Martin and John. What a beautiful tribute.
It's a scene from the movie Twist Around the Clock.
This comes from the time where the audience sat there watching the show and listening to the music. It was considered rude to applaud or sound out during a performance, applause was always saved for after each song was completed; and the audiences were usually in proper atire. It would be a couple of decades later when the audience would start bouncing off the walls to the music, and to heck with how the band looked or performed.
A couple of decades? This was 1961, Beatles audiences were going wild in 1963.
this is a clip from a movie, I'm not even sure if those are the real musicians.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song -- and everything else this guys does!!!! I didn't have this record but my aunt did and we used to dance around to it a lot! I was only about 10 and my aunt was about 17 and we grew up doing a lot of stuff together. Of course, it was on the radio a lot too.
Thanks for giving Dion a listen. He has lots of other songs and I understand he's still singing which means he's still in good shape. Wish there were vids of him now. Love him! ❤❤❤❤😂😅
As far as others have said about these being actors in a movie, and such, as others have said, if the band was being recorded, the audience was respectful and let them sing and then clap at the end. It was not a day of videos -- we didn't know what a video even was. We had movies and TV. Period. That's where all these old videos come from.
It wasn't really until Elvis and the Beatles that crowds went wild enough that the performers couldn't even hear themselves. That's at least one reason why the Beatles stopped performing in live settings. But that was several years after this video would have been.
So, please don't judge these old videos and songs in ways that are in today's ways. Watch some old black & white TV and see how audience members were while they were performing. In some settings black & white people didn't mix and even where they did, it was mostly the same.
Anyhoo -- thanks for this! ❤❤
This video is a scene from a 1961 movie, "Twist Around the Clock.". The audience's cool reaction may be part of the storyline.
This is a clip from the movie "The wanderers" Love this song and the fry Dion puts into his voice. Dion is 84 now.
the 60's was full of surf music, folk music, soul music and so much more I would encourage you to do a deep dive.
Comedy and Hootenanny folk. The Music Comedy stuff is to much 😂 Like “Have Some Madeira, M'Dear” is to funny . 😆
I grew up in this era. Our hang out was the skating rink. This was our favorite song to skate to on Saturday night.
I remember those days well
I remember those days well
Yep !! The best music ❤❤❤
One of my favorites by Dion. 63 years later and it's still a banger!
“What in the Fonzie is goin on here?!!!” Lmao!!!! Love it AB!!!
My hubby grew up in the 60’s , I’m 15 years younger-I had to have a crash course in classic music!!!
Those were the best years 60's and 70's
Always love going back to the 50's and 60's. This is the music I grew up with. Dion was definitely a heart throb for teen girls back in the day.
He started out with the Belmonts, then went solo.
Check out Dion singing the tribute song : Abraham, Martin and John ( for Abe Lincoln, MLK and JFK.)
That song came out in 1961 but 1961 was still basically the 50s. We need to find you a crowd from a few years later. The difference was amazing.
I just found you and I love it! New subscriber. You just made me laugh and you are absolutely right about the crowd, LOL!! My husband and I are in our mid-60's and let me tell you, when this song is played, we are out on the dance floor, just makes you move!! This was a huge hit and still played by older bands in our area! 😊
Thanks for subbing!
This is my mom's generation! I grew up listening to stuff like this 😊
Hi AB! Love all the 50’s and 60’s hits reactions you’ve done lately.
Fun fact: my parents named my brother Dion after this group. One of their favorites. My parents had this kind of music playing in the house all the time while we were growing up. I know the words to all of them 🙂
Fun video - thanks!
These are the actors as the audience from this film Dion was in -- & things were different in the '60's (& especially the '50's) --- people behaved a little more respectfully, but mostly adults at that time were in a bit of shock -- the music, the songs were very different from what they were used to. Even the '70's -- think Elvis & the audiences he played to -- no one acted crazy or did anything out of line -- they listened & had a great time.
He married "Runaround Sue" ... and is still married to her. They lived in Boca Raton, Fl, for a very long time, but finally returned to NY.
When I was a teen, he appeared in a coffee shop in Coconut Grove, (Miami), FL once in a while and we went so often that we usually had a front seat. I was lucky enough to be at his feet at nearly every appearance. He morphed from one style to another, to another and is still appearing today. He's even done one recently with Joe Bonamassa. Keep digging. The guy is really good on guitar and sold a lot of units made by Martin Guitars.
Yes! In Miami I was introduced to Dion by my husband! Dion would spend many hours riding his bicycle and hanging out with some of his homeless! He loved to sit and talk with people no matter where he was! Dion is the type of man who could walk into a room and the pure love he carried inside was palpable! Check out Abraham Martin and John! ❤❤
I love hearing these. My Mom gave me an appreciation for rock music from the 50-90s, and my Grandma loved old country music like George Jones and Hank Williams Sr. so I've been having a great time hearing your reactions!
The man is still putting out music . I forgot to tell you he was on the tour with buddy Holly and Ritchie valence and jp Richardson. He was on the tour the day the music died as Don McClane put it in his song American pie
AB, If per chance you've listened to Classic Radio, you may have heard Dion, with his haunting "Abraham, Martin, and John", a song wondering where they've all gone too.
His beautiful voice tickled the airwaves many times with his many gold records!
Glad you're discovering the solid gold talent, many of whom have since left us, but never our hearts!
I 2nd that motion.
You Should react to ABRAHAM, MARTIN AND JOHN. I grew up seeing their assassinations and funerals. I cried over this song quite a few times when played. It spoke to our broken hearts. Like American Pie, it's special. Please review it.
Dion and the Belmonts were an opening group for Buddy Holly and others on the Winter Dance Party tour. After one appearance of the tour in Iowa, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and JP Richardson died in a plane crash - the Day the Music Died
You have to remember that audiences in those days were very reserved and they sure weren't ready for Dion..... They were there to take in the talent
As a person who grew up in the 60s, I can say the concept that sitting quietly during a performance so as not to distract the performer was paramount. If you ever go to an Opera today, those rules are still adhered to.
His much later song "King of the New York Streets" from 1989 is phenomenal and I suggest you watch him performing live on the UA-cam video. I saw him live in 2012 and he was still rocking it.
This hit the radio when I was 12. Loved it, and later Iearned to play/sing it on guitar and played it during many bar gigs. The crowd always sang along. Dion was a teen idol.
Fabulous iconic classic. Couldn't sit still through it back then, still can't. Great reaction!
Got ya dancing AB, looks like we could have used you in the sixties . Loved your reaction !!! ❤ 😊
He's really marvelous and there's a lot to chose from his output. Go for it
This was a more formal setting that was being filmed. At a sock hop the joint would be jumping. 😂
I knew you'd love this AB
How can you not dance? :)
The 50s 60s and 70s were the best music you'll ever hear in your life because they put their heart and soul in that music
Back in the summer of 1971, I worked at a summer camp. My roommate had a huge collection of 45rpm records from the 1950s and early 60s. I understood that he would DJ parties, and might have even had a weekly radio show on a small station. As a parting gift, he said that I could have one of his records. I chose this song by Dion and the Belmonts. I kept it all these years, until my wife destroyed our records during her prolonged psychotic state near the end of her life. I really was glad to see someone reviewing this old and sadly forgotten hit.
That is how it was back then. Everything on TV, they sat there. But in concert, it was all different:)
Ah, my first crush from the 50s. Back in the 50s the Four Freshmen from the Big Band Era were friends of my mom's and they used to tease me about Dion and the Belmonts and my crush on Dion. Rock and Roll was new and they just couldn't make themselves like it. We young girls used to swoon when the radio played "Teenager in Love". Your reactions have brought back so many good memories. Thank you.
I know others have recommended this song but I want to put emphasis on how much I have always loved it. Abraham, Martin, and John. Dion is so talented. I love his voice.
Back in the day it was popular for groups to record during a concert. People were requested to hold their applause til the end. Cheaper than renting a sound booth.
Keep diving….60’s and 70’s produced some of the best music ever written.
He was SPILLING THE TEA!! ☕️ The non-reaction was the women mad and the men hoping he wouldn’t start naming names! 😂❤️
Hey! The guy on the right is tapping his hand on the table!😂
She goes
out with other guys,
She IMMORAL and the story is…
My mother used to sing this to me when I was young. Back then when they used live audiences, they didn't want them to react during the song, they did the same with Golden Earring's Radar Love.
Don’t forget Dion Warwick my man, she is a real singer.
Dionne, but yeah. Pronounced the same.
From 1956 to 1961, there were a series of Rock music films, and most of them usually involved early Cleveland, Ohio Rock music DJ Alan Freed. One common theme in the films was a local nightclub owner who needs fresh new acts comes across these Rock music dance bands, such as Bill Haley And His Comets. The couples that danced in those early Rock music films were some of the best Rock dancers in the United States. The older patrons are shocked by the wildness going on out on the dance floor, but by the end of the film, all ends well, and the Rock bands are a big hit for the nightclub owner.
That was one of our favorite dance songs back in the day.
it was very popular! The audience was older in a formal setting and that's the way it was.
A very touching song that Dion did that is definitely worth a look...Abraham, Martin and John....
The crowd is being polite. People didn't yell out back in the day the way they do now. First time I remember seeing the crowd go crazy was when the Beatles came to the US.
The crossover from the 50s to the 60s was such a culture shock
Loved the music from the 60s
He’s actually in the Grammy Hall of Fame for runaround Sue.
This was more of a Night Club crowd. Back then they were respectful & reserved. Now a Teen Age crowd was much different. They did the hand jive or jitterbugged in the isles. Kids had American Bandstand. Black Culture was so much cooler. Their Dance Clubs were lively & not as stiff. Everything evolves.
This is back the day when people didn’t act out and everyone could enjoy the show, you know back before they started throwing stuff on the stage. You could even hear them sing.
Another awesome song!! ❤❤❤ Another can’t sit still bopper!!💃🕺 You go AB!!!👍👍
Great reaction. AB!!!!
Yea, this guy could sing 👍
Great reaction the song had the style of early rock before the Beatles came along and changed a lot of stuff but I’m a guy who swings both ways for music that is
Love your reaction.
He's in his 80"s and still performing
This song has been in a lot of movies
Back in the 50’s and early 60’s audiences in dinner clubs, it was considered rude to cause a disturbance during the performance. People were expected to be quiet to allow others to listen. More than five decades has changed how people are expected to act at a public event.
No n word no curse words yet to the point, i love it ♥
Thanks for throwing me right back to my high school days. Loved Dion. For a recent version of this song, look up the Tim Foust (from Home Free) version.
You are cracking me up at the end with that dancing but it was great
Lol love the dance at the end 😂❤
I can't believe you have never heard that song! It's been in a million movies!
Back then that's how elite places did not clap till the end.
It's for the record. Audiences in studios were asked to be still so the recording could be used for a vinyl and save the band/ artist money as they then didn't need to pay to rent a recird studio. 😊
@@tonjegunasekera4961 This is actually a scene from a movie.
Dion (DiMucci) is 86 now and putting out very good blues albums. Now you know. Peace
I’m literally laughing out loud at your comments on this one AB…..not “what in the Fonzie”!! 😂😂😂 you got the one-liners tonight.
That was an Awesome reaction. Had me dancing. Loved it
That was Dion and the Belmonts a really big group in the sixties and audience reactions were very much like that back then. There began to be more audience reaction when Elvis started and especially The Beatles. ( girls were fainting all the time ).
Back when music was good. That stopped after the 70's. Love your Elvis picture!
This IMHO is a fusion of big band swing/Do Wop/Early Rock, some of the best.
I first heard this in that amazing scene of 'Sleeping With The Enemy' where Julia Roberts dances with the adorable and sweet Drama school teacher in the costume room... I fell in love!! Now I have a different view of the whole thing (tiny jealous man syndrome) but... it still bangs.
Dion was shorthand for the group’s lead singer/songwriter, Dion DiNucci.
In those days people politely watched performers. It was just the beginning of Rock and Roll and people were'nt sure how to react!
Dion tapped into the Christian Rock scene in the 80s, so i had the great pleasure of watching him perform this song on the altar of an Evangelical church. It was the most amazing day of my teen years 😂
Love your reactions😂
They didn't make videos back in the day(1950 and early 60s) so what you are seeing is a clip from a movie.By the way,audiences back then weren't similar to todays audiences.They were quiet during performances and clapped and showed their reactions at the end (novel concept)that way they heard the whole performance.
Oh my God I was probably about maybe 6 when this song came out my dad used to get his such a variety of music to listen to
Dion, 19 at the time, was supposed to be on the fatal flight with Buddy Holly. He refused it because the $35 price tag was more than his parents monthly rent.
I love how you embrace the 50s /60s music , I was born in 1960 so grew up with this music it's great to see great reactors like you reacting to it! Have you heard staying in by Bobby vee ?? Should check him out too ❤
One thing you kind of need to remember, back in those days the mob ruled everything Dionne was just one of their favorites along with Sinatra Dean Martin and a few others
He must have showed up to opera show, surprised all those stuck up people. They looked like their face would crack if they smiled.
Pre-Beatles '60's. After 1964, with the Beatles and the British Invasion, the entire culture and music changed forever. The Kennedy assassination in 11/63 was also instrumental in this cultural shift.
So cute to see you dance to this incredible music
My favorite pop song ever.
Great reaction AB.
cause he called out SUE
a 304! The women were pissed!
“ We don’t want Sue. We don’t want her.” 😂
Luv your energy!
Dion was always fantastic. The people in the audience are mostly middle age stick in the muds. Put him in front of a bunch of younger people and see what you get. I'm 71 and still dance around to this song!
Love your reaction great song and it's the 60s it reminds me of my friend Frankie who passed away miss him and he loved this one 🔥❤
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤖🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 .. love it AB !! One of my favorite karaoke songs to belt out.
I am loving your enjoyment!
This music was mostly listened to by teenagers. It seems like the audience is mostly people 30 or older.
This song was released in 1961 after that The Beatles changed almost everything in 1864.
