Dion was one versatile guy...His later hit" Abraham, Martin and John " is a beautiful folk-type ballad that showed he was more than just a pop-rock vocalist for sure.
Dion di Mucci, an Italian American, from the Bronx was indeed a talented singer,musician and song writer across a wide spectrum of music. New jersey, which has a sizeable population of Italian Americans too was quite a hotbed for music. Frankie Valli and 4 seasons , Bruce Springsteen and others all grew up there too.
Audiences at that time reacted differently. It was looked at like you were watching a piano recital. You were there to watch, listen and react afterwards with applause.
Some of the greatest music from those days --- '50's * '60's. This is from the 1961 film "Twist Around The Clock." But you need to know that "back in those days" people (1) got dressed up to go out (2) they did not act wild & crazy (3) they were not accustomed to the louder, bouncier music that had just begun. It was a very different time. There were also those great instruments such as the fabulous saxophone that was in almost every song that are not used anymore. Right - no fakeness -- back then you HAD to have talent.
