One of those songs you never get tired of hearing. I'm 75 years old and I still appreciate this song in my opinion it was the greatest doo-wop song ever
Dion of course killed it and this song is beautiful with just one set of vocals, but we have to acknowledge his amazing fellow harmonizers here. They absolutely killed it too! Doo wop and acapella forever!!!
@@chairlesnicol672 I dont think the 2 backup singers beside dion are actually the belmonts. Carlo and Fred have died but angelo is still alive. (all 3 were alive in 2006 though but these guys dont look like them)
The joy in their faces, their voices, and the song is a treasure. I doubt there will ever again be music as beloved as the doo-wop classics from the late 50's and early 60's. I sure am glad I got to spend a few of those years behind the mic playing all the hits all the time on some radio stations.
They are having so much fun.. such a perfect version of this great song. When Dion pulls away happily towards the end, I get a shit eating grin though I've seen it 100 times.
His tone of voice is not the same at all he just does an amazing job adjusting the way he sings these songs, as he’s aged. No offense but it doesn’t sound the same at all. It sounds even more amazing I think
raoul diblasi When I was 12 in 1958 there was Dione and Carlo however the falsetto in this flick is not Angelo perhaps the best falsetto I ever heard and Fred
It sure the fuck is…76 here from Brooklyn so this music was our life back in da day…my bones won’t let me dance like I did, but ohhhhhh the memories. My dear friend was the president of Dion’s Brooklyn fan club🙀💃💃💃💃💃💃🤪
The song that will make Dion Di Mucci immortal and will remain the undisputed anthem of the Doowop. In this interpretation Dion shows us an inpecable mastery of this piece.
When I was 13 I used to stand on a chair in the basement of our house with the radio on. When this song came up, I'd jump up on the chair and be Dion. He is a Treasure, a New York Treasure and nothing short of that. The guys still sings like crazy and he's more than a Doo Wop singer. He knows his stuff and is still at the top of his game. Just as a side note, we lived in the Bronx and my grandfather made and sold Mattresses from his business called the Belmont Mattress company on 180th street and Belmont Avenue!
+John Schreiber At about age 13 living in Highbridge 174th St. just East of Jerome Ave I took a walk over to Belmont Ave to see the hood it was Italian then although already becoming Puerto Rican and non-descript but it made me feel a connection with the music I loved not long after reading about the Brill Building I took El and subway to Times Square and walked to the non-descript building but I did see Phil Spector with his entourage with mean looking bodyguards I was surprised he was smaller than me at 14 but he was to me a genius despite his bad points.
I watched this number so much I bought the DVD of the whole concert. Most of his great songs are sung live with these 2 happy back-ups. In between songs on the DVD Dion talks about the songs, life, and plays some blues. But this number is by far the best on the album because of the dum de dum dum's and their faces! Like others say below, I didn't like this music when it was popular, but it has aged so well! Plus Run Around Sue, Donna Prima Donna, all these easy rockers.
I just got a hold of the box set that came out, Dion, King of the New York Streets, and it is bittersweet listening to it because my dad who passed in '09 grew up in the Bronx and grew up with this music. man, it seemed like that was all he talked about, growing up in the Bronx and how great it was back then. the good old days. right? he was lucky.
Just came across this gem. Unbelievable with just three voices. Dion jumping all voices to keep the harmony and then adding syncopation to his parts. Dion better than ever.
What brilliant singing. Great intricate vocals in that arrangement. It's also funny seeing these guys singing beautifully old-fashioned music while dressed to look trendy and modern.
Dion is the greatest..!.My all-time favorite male singer..Every time i hear his songs,,it always brings me back to the days growing up back East..If you have ever seen him in concert you know how funny he is too..He is a wonderful story teller.!..After a song he would talk to us,the audience and share one unbelievable story after another.About how they started out and touring with the greatest singers,musicians and bands ever..The DOO-WOP Harmonies were just incredible.!
So great to hear Dion still singing. In this case, better than ever. What a unique and somewhat u nderrated talent. Hard to believe some small minded folks think rock started with the Beatles. In some respects, rock ended with them.

Hello 👋 carol How're you doing. Thanks for this comment, I'm nothing without fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness It's nice meeting you here.
Great music in an Era when I was a young boy and watching my parents and aunts and uncles dancing to this music and having a great time! Thanks for posting this awesome piece of music history that won't come back. Savior this video since its a true gem of what music should truly be.
Great voice, great timing great writer, great collaboraters....he got through the bad stuff alive.....One tough smart guy. Thanks for hangin in there...D
I'd like to see if any of the 'Thumbs Down' could sing such harmony at the age of 68, which Dion was during this show performance. Great voice, and a Great guy!
Dion is one cool Dude. So isn't Louie C. who is singing background. Both terrific guys on and off the stage. Powers of example. They have also inspired countless other people by giving it away, including myself. . Thanks a million guys. Richie F.
I love this. For those who are looking to hold a man to the standards of when he was in his teens and twenties, I say to you, you are not living in the world of reality. I think these guys did a fabulous job. Not one sour note was hit and it moved me. BTW, stop all the judging, Dion is a beautiful person and he can still sing.
I think on my 20th time viewing this clip. Its just tremendous. I've listened to both the 1958 clip and this one and I kind of like this one better. Just amazing.
Wow!! Wow(!!!) think of how much artist from this time period just don't sound the same anymore. Dion sounds amazing, like a million bucks...This was on a compilation cd I have in my car. I found myself playing it over and over and over again on my drive home. I wish it wasn't a 99 VW Jetta I was driving...I was imagining a 57 Chevy tearing up the Highway. This music has such raw energy too it.
sharing a jail cell with Dion and Fred Parris one night in '64 over some bar fight, and Dion breaking his wrist in the shower preparing for his court appearance the next morning.............. oh what a night, singing and playing cards till dawn....... crazy times man!
I have worked as a monitor engineer on a lot of oldies shows. I never have worked with this guy. I have done most of the big ones. Bobby Vinton, Gene Chandler, Frankie Valli, the list goes on and bunches of them on Doo Wop shows with 5 or 6 of them on the same bill.I would love to see Dion. I'm 10 years later but as a musician I went back a good ways learning.
Hello 👋 Jay How're you doing. Thanks for this comment, I'm nothing without fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness It's nice meeting you here.
@@Dion-iu4sg Hello Dion! I have a bit of a cold at the moment so just trying to get over it. It's a pleasure and an honour to hear from you! Your music was before my time but I came across it as a teenager and now as an adult it's as great now as when I first heard it in my teens! Congratulations on your master ability to convey such great harmonies and melodies and long may it continue! Wishing you all the very best!
Hello 👋 sewing How're you doing. Thanks for this comment, I'm nothing without fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness It's nice meeting you here.
There is more talent in these three gentlemen who are still at the top of their game 50 years later, than there is in any of the rapper, hip hopper reciters today. Notice I said reciters, not singers.big difference, right? This is great!!!
I've always loved Dion and the Belmonts. I just happened to click on this clip about two hours ago. I can't stop listening to it! What a powerful version from the 1958 version. There Harmonies are so tight! and the band is right in there with them. A for sure keeper!
I read about the outfits, BIG DEAL!! As far as the look is concerned, to each his own is how I see it. This music was and still is CLASSIC!!!! This is the only music that I know that makes me smile everytime, anywhere.
Dion & The Belmonts, far and away the BEST DOO WOP Group of the 50's & 60's, had the opportunity of seeing them live at MSG in NY City, I believe in 72, I think it was a reunion tour...Are still absolutely THE BEST..
What a fantastic time for music, the original rock and roll era ( 50's, early 60's ). I grew up during this time and you would have to experience it to believe it. Its reallly depressing to see how music is today, but to each his own I guess.
This performance was recorded in Atlantic City in 2004. Dion was 64--65 at the time. He's 81 today. The guy to Dion's right is his cousin Louis Coletti. Not an original Belmont, but toured with Dion and worked backup on albums probably late 80's--90's. Louis passed in 2013. He did a few recordings of his own, can be found here on YT. The big guy to Dion's left is Jamie Colton, did a lot of work with big name artists and toured with Dion for several years.
I always loved his music even now that he is older singing his music it still sounds just as good as his younger years. I would of loved to see him in concert but since we didn't have internet like we do now it was kind of hard to find out about concerts back then.
I can still remember cruising on my Schwinn with a small transister radio held up to my ear when this song first came out.......Long live Dion and his music..........
Seeing the joy in their faces as they perform is all the vindication needed for them to continue singing the oldies. Add feeling the joy in my heart as I hear it makes it all worthwhile.
Outstanding performance in every way Some performers from that era no longer have it but this is fantastic Kudos to Rick and all the others who take the trouble to make these videos for all to see and hear Thank You!!!!!
This is a great version of this all-time doo-wop favorite. Dion is having a great time and the other two are just so proud to be there. However, when I think of doo-wop groups they are always dressed in some identical suits and moving together. Ah well, still glad to find this take on the web!!!
Hello 👋 Donna How're you doing. Thanks for this comment, I'm nothing without fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness It's nice meeting you here.
Man these Doo Wop guys still sound like they did or better then they did when they recorded their hits. I always liked Dion's "Ruby Baby", Johhny Maestro still sounds just as good as he did back in the day and so does Randy of the Rainbows. These guys brought it when they hit the stage. Great music.
Stood in front of the mirror in 1960 with a hair brush singing this song dreamin of being a big star like Dion. I joined his fan club and watched Dion and the Belmonts on Dick Clark after grade school. I miss the harmony singers of that era. This song is certainly an art form Long live Dion.
Can't tell how much i love this one. It makes me really exuberant. Dion, man ik remeber all your fifties and early sixties hits so wel. They were the background of my adolescence, which continues to this age.
My compliments to the sound man! Good as the original in ways! Maybe better? Oh well, I still love it! The original is very hard to beat. My compliments to Dion and the other guys! May 50"s live within our Universe!

One of those songs you never get tired of hearing. I'm 75 years old and I still appreciate this song in my opinion it was the greatest doo-wop song ever
Now you are 77
I'm 75 in 2023 and saw dion in the 60s at palisades amusement park new jersey loved him then and still do ❤
For me, it's tied with about a half dozen other doo-wop songs, most of them by Dion as well! (Drip Drip--Girl's insane--Drippity drop!)
Me too
68 this June I feel great! God great oldies and family is my medicine 😊peace and love to all
Dion of course killed it and this song is beautiful with just one set of vocals, but we have to acknowledge his amazing fellow harmonizers here. They absolutely killed it too! Doo wop and acapella forever!!!

@@chairlesnicol672 I dont think the 2 backup singers beside dion are actually the belmonts. Carlo and Fred have died but angelo is still alive. (all 3 were alive in 2006 though but these guys dont look like them)
Totally! Who are they?!
Dion is the best!!! These back up singers are too!!! Great harmony!!! ❤
@@chairlesnicol672 He's hard to see, but the guy playing the organ is the 3rd backup voice.
The joy in their faces, their voices, and the song is a treasure. I doubt there will ever again be music as beloved as the doo-wop classics from the late 50's and early 60's. I sure am glad I got to spend a few of those years behind the mic playing all the hits all the time on some radio stations.

I love Dion and the Belmonts. I'm 61 years old and I listen to this music everyday. My 19 month old grandson loves it too. Go figure😂
I am very surprised, that his tone of voice, still the same... Mr. Dimucci, hats off for you! you are very young inside!
& outside 💖
It's his spirit; all that Escarole, Dandelion, and Broccoli Rabe doesn't hurt either😉😁
His tone of voice is not the same at all he just does an amazing job adjusting the way he sings these songs, as he’s aged. No offense but it doesn’t sound the same at all. It sounds even more amazing I think
It’s almost the same but still good Rest In Peace to the members that sadly passed away
Crowd looks like they all took sleeping pills. Great performance. Dead as a door nail audience
When I was 12 these were the coolest guys on the planet! Still are in my book!
I am 16 and LOVE these guys, even though I get laughed at for it.
Doctor NerfHerder You have good taste, guy! They invented cool! You might want to check out their 1958 video!
raoul diblasi Hey man, I'm 15 and I like this music. Awesome bro! Dion did heroin though v.v
raoul diblasi When I was 12 in 1958 there was Dione and Carlo however the falsetto in this flick is not Angelo perhaps the best falsetto I ever heard and Fred
dajellybomb But he hasn't even had any alcohol in over 40 years!! He realized he was losing everything that meant ANYTHING to him!!
Real talent never gets old.
Damn straight! Thank you!
I can’t believe how good this is!!. Took me 43 years to understand the brilliance of this.
I am turning 77 in May and I grew up listening to Dion. Still love the oldies...It's the best medicine to make you feel better 💕
Gives me a shit eating smile every time after listening 100 times
Hey man are you still with us? 🙏🏾
@@DaeCRG1 Hey man I sure am!!!

One of the greatest songs ever written and performed! It’s magical 🫡❤️🔥🕺🏻🎤🏆
This is the ringtone that plays as the alarm on my phone and I wake up to this song every morning. Love this song!
Damn! Had I known, I'd've gotten a cell phone years ago. Lemme call my kids so they can set it up. Boomer signing off. 😉

So great to hear Dion still singing. In this case, better than ever. What a unique and somewhat u nderrated talent. Hard to believe some small minded folks think rock started with the Beatles. In some respects, rock ended with them.

When I was young I thought this was hokey old stuff, but it has aged so much better than the stuff that was on the radio in the 70's.

This is the only music that I know that makes me smile everytime, anywhere.
I saw Dion do this song with these 2 guys about 5 years ago. This is one of the best songs of rock and roll.

What a fantastic time for music, the original rock and roll era ( 50's, early 60's ). I grew up during this time and you would have to experience it to believe it. Its reallly depressing to see how music is today, but to each his own I guess.

If their on stage with Dion you can bet their going to be good. I've seen him four times over the years. Always a great show worth the money.
@@keithorr6878 Its the original Belmonts members, isnt it?

Old DiMucci was having lots of fun out there! Isn't that what doo-wop was supposed to be about!?
it was until he decided to do his own thing and leave the belmonts
Obviously enjoying himself--contagious fun! Am 75, love him!
Brings back the innocent days. Dion still rocks!!!. Thanks for great music.
The ultimate DoWop song of all time!
Arguably the best four part harmony in R'n'R.🎤🎶
I can still remember cruising on my Schwinn with a small transister radio held up to my ear when this song first came out.......Long live Dion and his music..........
Absolutely love this and I want to go to a Dion concert when this pandemic mess is over

This is a great version of this all-time doo-wop favorite. Dion is having a great time and the other two are just so proud to be there. However, when I think of doo-wop groups they are always dressed in some identical suits and moving together. Ah well, still glad to find this take on the web!!!
Dear Lord...that's music!!!!👍❤️
Dion is still making new Beautiful Music at 80 """ a Legend ""💞💞😅
Hello 👋 Donna
How're you doing.
Thanks for this comment, I'm nothing without fans like you who appreciate my musical craftiness
It's nice meeting you here.
Man these Doo Wop guys still sound like they did or better then they did when they recorded their hits. I always liked Dion's "Ruby Baby", Johhny Maestro still sounds just as good as he did back in the day and so does Randy of the Rainbows. These guys brought it when they hit the stage. Great music.
Just plain simple happy fun music. Doesn't get any better than this.
Dion is 65 in this video...still has the pipes!
Stood in front of the mirror in 1960 with a hair brush singing this song dreamin of being a big star like Dion. I joined his fan club and watched Dion and the Belmonts on Dick Clark after grade school. I miss the harmony singers of that era. This song is certainly an art form Long live Dion.
I’m 16 in 2021 an still listing to oldies ✊
I'm only age 3, much younger that you, and think his music is da bestest.
Can't tell how much i love this one. It makes me really exuberant. Dion, man ik remeber all your fifties and early sixties hits so wel. They were the background of my adolescence, which continues to this age.
Music sounds so much better with real musicians. Dat's the fact, Jack!
My compliments to the sound man! Good as the original in ways! Maybe better? Oh well, I still love it! The original is very hard to beat. My compliments to Dion and the other guys!
May 50"s live within our Universe!
Straight "Outta" the Belmont Section of the Bronx!, before there was "Hip Hop" and Rap Music, which also came from "the Boogie Down!".
Woho what a singer, the energy level. I love him.
Dion is the most underrated talent in the history of Rock & Roll.
hardly
Dion and the belmonts combined then i agree 100%
Great music like this should come back.
Happy Birthday Dion!
