Have to add this: We need more Dion in this world. Just looking at your beautiful smiling faces enjoying the music makes me happy. Maybe the world could change for the better if we changed our music? Thank you both for your wonderful reaction!!!
The good news is Dion is still performing in his 80s and has been married to his wife (yes, her name is Sue) for over 60 years. Always loved his voice. Just recently watched a video of him and backup singers performing the old Drifters' song "Fools Fall In Love" acapella and he sounds as great as he did back in the day!
I live the lyrics. “Here’s the moral and the story from a guy who knows. I fell in love and my love still grows. Ask any fool that she ever knew, They’ll say keep away from runaround sue”
The beat of the music and tempo of the lyrics doesn't let you think about the pain or sorrow caused by Sue. A definite pick for the 50's playlist. There are still 50's style diners around in the US. With juke boxes of course. Thanks for the wonderful reaction. 😊 ☮💛🎶
🇬🇧 I love music from the 60s. I was born in 64, but my mum had all the 45 singles of all the hits, so I was hearing them all from a very early age. This song was one of my favourites. LOVE IT. ❤🎼💃🕺🎶
Dion is an icon. Great singing voice and great song writer. He has a huge catalog of songs he wrote including some for other people. He's gone through some changes through the years including a period where he wrote Christian songs. Now in his 80's he's still writing and singing songs and collaborating with other artists. He just put out an album last years that is excellent.
Super song. catchy and upbeat beyond words. feeling down... play this pick me up and the sun comes out. Had to be good to sing live in the 50s and 60s no where to hide or auto-tune.
Dion is 85 years old and still producing music. He's released 3 blues albums over the last few years collaborating with other blues artists. Good stuff.
1961!! Another hit that year was RUNAWAY by Del Shannon!!! Also; I FALL TO PIECES by Patsy Cline. CRYING -Roy Orbison HIT THE ROAD JACK by Ray Charles. MOON RIVER, Andy Williams. Great Job! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎🎸🤟🏼
Dion is fabulous! I saw him in the UK back in 1971 doing an acoustic set at a folk rock festival. His " God rock" period from the 70s (?) Is worth checking out.
The relative innocence of the early 60's is represented well by Runaround Sue.....Abraham, Martin and John reflects the end of innocence in the late 60's...Dion is a treasure.
this song is soo catchy and well-structured - a timeless classic! it may have come out in the early '60s but i would classify it more as a doo wop '50s style song. i normally don't care for this period's sound but "runaround sue" is quite sophisticated in melody, rhythm, and arrangement, plus dion's great vocals - a winner! great reaction! ❤
I was 6 years old when this song was released and I wore the record out. Funny that I really wouldn't have had much idea what it was about but liked it anyway.
Back in the day, when I was in high school, I was in the school band. When we were in the dressing room getting dressed in our uniforms for a football game or concert, we would sing these old "bee bop" songs "a cappella" trying to learn how to harmonize and this was one of the songs we would sing. We did some of The Drifters songs as well.
If you've seen the movie "Sleeping With the Enemy" with Julia Roberts, perhaps that's where you've heard it. Sad/heavy film, but this song punctuated a happy part!
I am always taken more by the melody of songs. I would sing along with this song no matter what the lyrics were😘😘😘As Rosemary says below, check out Abraham, Martin and John
Next time I have a party I'm inviting Dominica and Andre and loading the stereo with 60s songs - that's one way to get the dancing started! For more like this you might enjoy Lightning Strikes by Lou Christie, Pretty Belinda by Chris Andrews, My Boy Lollipop by Millie Small, Pretty Woman by Roy Orbison, Dream Lover by Bobby Darin, Twistin' the Night Away by Sam Cooke, Calendar Girl by Neil Sedaka, Personality by Lloyd Price, Sheila by Tommy Roe, Runaway by Del Shannon... there are lots n lots :)
Looking for 60’s music? Here you go: - Happy Together: The Turtles - More Today than Yesterday: Spiral Staircase - Sugar, Sugar: The Archies - El Paso: Marty Robbins - He Stopped Loving Her Today: George Jones - Secret Agent Man: Johnny Rivers - So Much in Love: The Tymes
PART II 😁 Jukebox machines (by my time) not so much in the Diners but Burger Joints, Ice Cream parlors, Bars and in Jr High and Sr Highschools! $0.25 cents for 3 songs! ☯️☮️
Hello Andre and Domanika . . . . . may i suggest another gem for you from the 60's . . . it's by Barry Mann . . . . and it is titled "Who Put the Bomp" . . . . you can find it easily on youtube . . . . . . and i think you will truly enjoy it . . . . . . take care . . . . . . Danny in Mississippi
You have to react to Dion "Shu Bop" (The Last Track) it was released in 2000 but it has late 50s/60s vibe or sound to it. Dion said if this was released in the 60s it would have been a big hit for him.
Dion turns the table and become the male Sue in the song "The Wanderer"
Real Music!!!
Dion is an icon. This is what a lot of rock and roll sounded like before The Beatles.
I always loved Dion’s singing either as a solo singer or with a group! He has a soulful vibe to me. Abraham, Martin, and John is a favorite too.
Dion and the Belmonts made some of the best Doo-Wop songs. Listen to A Teenager in Love, Where or When, Ruby Ruby etc.
50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s music, your channel will be here for many, many years.
Another bet good Dion song is...
"The Wanderer" 🙂👍
Have to add this: We need more Dion in this world. Just looking at your beautiful smiling faces enjoying the music makes me happy. Maybe the world could change for the better if we changed our music? Thank you both for your wonderful reaction!!!
Early Rock and Roll songs were made for dancing. Who can sit still when this song is playing!
My friends & I would stop, get out of the car and dance when this came on the radio!
A #1 record for Dion❤
The good news is Dion is still performing in his 80s and has been married to his wife (yes, her name is Sue) for over 60 years. Always loved his voice.

You guys ROCK👍👍👏👏👏❤❤✌️
I agree with you.
I was only 9 years old when this came out. This song among others is what attracted my love of music.
A blast from the past I love it ❤
🇮🇹Dion DiMucci 🇮🇹
One of the Bronx favorite sons🫡
I live the lyrics.
“Here’s the moral and the story from a guy who knows.
I fell in love and my love still grows.
Ask any fool that she ever knew,
They’ll say keep away from runaround sue”
The beat of the music and tempo of the lyrics doesn't let you think about the pain or sorrow caused by Sue. A definite pick for the 50's playlist. There are still 50's style diners around in the US. With juke boxes of course. Thanks for the wonderful reaction. 😊 ☮💛🎶

We knew what you met. There's still diners with a jukebox, sometimes they even have old sixties music like this. I love it.

Another great reaction to a song that I grew up on.
Super song. catchy and upbeat beyond words. feeling down... play this pick me up and the sun comes out. Had to be good to sing live in the 50s and 60s no where to hide or auto-tune.
They did have small juke boxes right at each booth in diners back then. 😁
Great reaction! Loved it! 😊
I believe I had the same reaction to the song 60 years ago. You two are so much fun to watch. Keep it up.
Listen to that voice, this is when if you couldn't sing you weren't getting a record deal🎵🎶
"Naughty Sue"...LOLOLOL!!! Love it!
Not only did we all love the music, we loved each other more
Dion is 85 years old and still producing music. He's released 3 blues albums over the last few years collaborating with other blues artists. Good stuff.
How fun was that, oh those smiles 😊!
Sweet 🎶music🎶 for you🎵 Sweethearts🎵 Dion definitely can sing it! 😊✌️Peace Gary ☮️ can't get to sweet, gotta watch the Sugar😅 Great Reaction👍
Great song and reaction.Im glad he wrote about both men and women in the same situation
1961!! Another hit that year was RUNAWAY by Del Shannon!!! Also;
I FALL TO PIECES by Patsy Cline.
CRYING -Roy Orbison
HIT THE ROAD JACK by Ray Charles.
MOON RIVER, Andy Williams. Great Job! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎🎸🤟🏼
i love dion and i love this song....thank you guys
Really enjoyed the reaction
God bless you and yours
I heard it so often, when I was young. My parents played it a lot. Love it!
Great song to do the twist to,, thanks for sharing the good old days!
You two are so much fun! Loved this! Peace
I listened to my mom and dad's radio and L.P.'s. Good times😊😊.
My favorite song from the 60s I was 13 years old. This came out. I know all the words like it was yesterday.😊
He is still recording, been listening to him most of my life.
Dion is fabulous! I saw him in the UK back in 1971 doing an acoustic set at a folk rock festival. His " God rock" period from the 70s (?) Is worth checking out.
This song was a turning point in my life. Heard it broadcast from Oklahoma City (KOMA) on a 9-transistor AM-only radio in 1961. I was never the same.
Dion Francis DiMucci, born 1939, The Bronx. This song released in 1961, after he split from the vocal group Dion and the Belmonts.
This, to me, is the most perfect pure pop song of all time. Impeccable!
Peak pre-Beatles American music.
The relative innocence of the early 60's is represented well by Runaround Sue.....Abraham, Martin and John reflects the end of innocence in the late 60's...Dion is a treasure.
Dion is so darn good 👍. I love this one. Try his other song. ( The wanderer ). Love you 2 😍
Great song!
"Sue is a bit naughty in here" OMG, you can bet that was the funniest thing I've heard this week!
I love y'all two! Love y'all's reactions. Y'all's reaction channel is one of my favorites.
I love y'all's accent also. ❤
Born in 54 💖💖 we had the GREATEST MUSIC, 60s, and 70s
I love you two 😊❤
50s and 60s music is what I grew up on 40 years ago. The golden oldies as they were they called. Despite them only being less 20 odd years old. Lol.
I was born in 1966 and my mom would listen to it on an old am radio
❤❤this song was in one of my favorite movies Sleeping With the Enemy, with Julia Roberts.❤❤
It was especially fun for me with a little sister named "Sue".
Saw Dion at the Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend, before Pandemic 😳😏😬💕
this song is soo catchy and well-structured - a timeless classic!
it may have come out in the early '60s but i would classify it more as a doo wop '50s style song. i normally don't care for this period's sound but "runaround sue" is quite sophisticated in melody, rhythm, and arrangement, plus dion's great vocals - a winner!

Love seeing you guys😊
A little doo wap❤
I was 6 years old when this song was released and I wore the record out.
Funny that I really wouldn't have had much idea what it was about but liked it anyway.
Could see you two in 1961 on the dance floor! If that were possible??
Miss the old Doo-Wop groups.
Back in the day, when I was in high school, I was in the school band. When we were in the dressing room getting dressed in our uniforms for a football game or concert, we would sing these old "bee bop" songs "a cappella" trying to learn how to harmonize and this was one of the songs we would sing. We did some of The Drifters songs as well.
Yes, thank you babbalou!! You've been a true guide to our friends.
If you've seen the movie "Sleeping With the Enemy" with Julia Roberts, perhaps that's where you've heard it. Sad/heavy film, but this song punctuated a happy part!
You guys would have been at home in the 60's. This was, and is, an amazing song. Later in the decade, he gave us Abraham, Martin and John.
The juke box at bowling alleys wore this record out- it was almost on continuous play.
You guys are so great!
I am always taken more by the melody of songs. I would sing along with this song no matter what the lyrics were😘😘😘As Rosemary says below, check out Abraham, Martin and John
i wasnt too big on a lot of my dads "50s" music, at least when i was a kid, but i never complained when he played some dion
juke boxes were everywhere in the 50s and 60s,,but mostly in ice cream parlors where teenagers would hang out after school.
When Dion left the Belmonts, he lucked out by acquiring an even more superior group of background
singers, they being 'The Dell Satins'.
Next time I have a party I'm inviting Dominica and Andre and loading the stereo with 60s songs - that's one way to get the dancing started!

The Wanderer should be next. Classic rock at its finest
lol, you say it’s sweet, then u hear the lyrics…🤣, If you haven’t done his song The Wanderer, that’s a good follow up side to this one.

Dion was married to Sue for many years !
Hey guys......google the dance "The Jive" and hope there is a video to go with the script ....enjoy . :)
I would hate this song if I had a runaround Susan.😅😅🗽🗽
Can you imagine a sock hop? #RSj914
If you want to know what life was like back in the 50's, you have to watch the movie American graffiti.
.....................................Have you listened to "THE WANDERER " yet ?
Runaround Sue
Suzie Q
Peggy Sue
Hmmm... interesting.
Yeah, she cheated on me with Dion. I had a different name for her though
This video is from 1990. Sue and Dion are still happily married today, like you two.

To bad the Belmonts got dumped. Dion would have been greater.
Little big league lol loved the movie
