...The Platters...The Platters....THE PLATTERS. "Only You"....."The Great Pretender"...and the pure magic of..."Smoke Gets In Your Eyes". ....heavenly.
My Nan got me into that film when I was a kid loved all the music in old films amazing x watched it last week bought it on Xbox store movies and binge watched it lol x
I remember back in the late fifties listening to Dion on WKBW in Buffalo, ny. On my little red transistor He is rock and roll. Thank you Jamel for finding the real oldies.
If he met “Sue” before this then he’s just lashing out, but if “the wanderer” met “Runaround Sue” then I guess he met his match AND got what was comin’ to him.
If no one has mentioned it, Dion was the real life "Fonz". This is who Winkler was portraying. When not on TV, he was black jacket, blue jeans, cigarettes rolled up in his white t-shirt sleeve kinda guy on a Brooklyn street corner..
Dion could easily make a concept album. starts with "Teenager in Love" then take it to "I Wonder Why" (there's lyrics that hint at her cheating) he finds out she's "Runaround Sue" and in his depression he finds that place for "Lovers who Wander" and becomes a swinger. then, he becomes the ultimate sleeze, "The Wanderer"
Dion (DiMucci) and the Belmonts were among the pioneers of early rock, coming out of NY as doo-wop singers. Dion was a huge influence on a couple of other notable New York musicians, both Paul Simon and Lou Reed (he's actually performed/recorded with both). He's still around, and he's still singing into his eighties! Check out his big '60's hit, Abraham, Martin and John for a completely different style of song which still resonates today.
Dion is a living legend. He used to be Dion And The Belmont’s till he went solo. Try I Wonder Why, Teenager In Love. He also did a great song Abraham, Martin and John. (Abe Lincoln, Martin Luther Jr. and John Kennedy). He still performs today. He’s got to be in his 80’s now. Great music.
Mo Isley played guitar comparably to Jimi Hendrix! After Shout by the Isley Brothers, he's gotta check out Summer Breeze. Seals and Croft did it first, but Isley Bros put some Soul into it!
czcams.com/video/ik57HLn0Nm0/video.html Runaround Sue, the female version of The Wanderer... Audience still has no movement, but it is a different one than The Wanderer...
The song was written for his neighbor with all his girl tattoos 9n his body for reminders. As he was in the merchant marines. Dion wrote the song when he was 13 if I recall. As the song says, flo on my left, mary on my right, I tair open my shirt, rosie on my chest. As his neighbor traveled when he got the itch. He put into lyrics so it would connect to ordinary every day life. Dion one of the great writers from his youth to time. As well as a great singer with attitude.
If he had released this in the last few years I can just imagine some feminists' heads exploding. I am one female who is NOT a feminist and I LOVE this song.
Rocknroll had a blend of numerous previous musical traditions, including country, rockabilly, boogie woogie, r&b, blues, and doo wop. Italian-American singers have a strong doo wop tradition, and they fell right into early rocknroll. Dion DiMucci was the biggest of them all. He was on the famous "Tour From Hell" when the plane crash killed Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly, and the Big Bopper.
I believe Dion wrote this song when he was 13 years old. It was written for his neighbor who was in merchant marines, who had tattoos of all the girls he meet/or. Dion one of the great writers in his days.
PLEASE, 60 years later Dion just released a song about Sam Cooke, of whom he was close to. It's a beautiful song that Paul Simon helps out ONLY IN AMERICA
I just want to thank you for your wholesome and fun videos given the state of the world today. Another great Dion song is I Wonder Why and Teenager in Love. Keep up the great stuff man!
Dion DiMucci - he's still around, & still recording. One of the few original founders of rock & roll that's still with us. You really need to react to his song, 'Abraham, Martin, & John.'
I’d love to see musicians bring the style of music back. This is true American heritage and original contribution to the arts in all the world. The sound was amazing. It would be great to see black American doo-wop groups again as well
Check out Bill Hailey and The Comets Rock around The Clock-The Diamonds Little Darlin-Carl Perkins Blue Suade Shoes and The Capris There's A Moon Out Tonite. Have some late 50's and 60's fun!😝😝😝
Keep the videos coming Jamel! I always love your commentary. I'm diggin' the shirt! If we all lived by those words, the world would be a much better place.
Back when my mother was 17, she won a brand new 1958 Chevy Bel Air from a radio station. She installed glasspacks and detailed it with footprint decals over the wheel wells with the words The Wanderer, the name of the car. My mom was badass! I know this apple didn't fall far from the tree, either! 😉 Love Dion's songs. And yes, my mother's car was named about 3 years before this song came out (1961), which was the year she married my father.
I was raised on the Oldies and I am so happy you have found this age in music. So many great songs. Try Smoke gets in your eyes. One of my favorite songs ever.
He's still going. In my late teens and for a while after I was married, we'd go to a coffee house in Coral Gables, FL, (part of Miami) to see him live. We went so often, the owner would save a place for us right at the stage. Dion was having problems at the time, but I could have touched his shoes and loved listening to him. He is VERY special with the guitar. He's been known to have/suggest Martin Guitars and that is what he played then. Becoming a born again Christian changed his life and he moved to a different type of music. He lived in Boca Raton with (Runaround Sue), his wife, but they've moved back to NY and he's even playing some duets with Joe Bonamassa.
Love Dion & the Belmont’s, top tier from this era and genre. “Runaround Sue” is essential, and “Little Diane” and “Life is but a Dream” are two of the best non-hit songs.
Harry Nilsson She sits down on me Mountain high valley low So long dad Living without you Good old desk Nobody cares about the railroad anymore Mournin' glory story Open your window Maybe Mr. RICHLAND's favorite song I'll be home Dayton Ohio, 1903 Remember Joy You're breaking my heart I'd rather be dead The most beautiful world in the world As time goes by Over the rainbow Many rivers to cross Don't forget me All my life Old forgotten soldier Black sails Down by the sea Salmon falls What's your sign? I'll take a tango Something true The flying saucer song How to write a song Ain't it kinda wonderful Dude, do something(i'd listen to them all)
LOVE THIS SONG..I remember being a kid of about 8 and singing these songs I had no idea what the words were about! LOL. .I'm like you, I hear music, man, I just got to move! How could that audience in this film just be sitting there at their tables! LOL and I've always been what I call a "chair dancer" even when I'm sitting, music with a beat I gots to roll and shake my head & shoulders and tap my feet! What a joy you are to watch enjoying the music of my past---and nice you remind me of how much there was of good music in my time! Thanks Jamal for the memories!
Jamel, Dion is a treasure. He is one of the classics. Even more amazing he has just released a bunch of new music. Look for his new song that is a tribute to Sam Cooke. Of course his Abraham, Martin and John is a must. Thank you for all the fun you are sharing during this difficult time.
He hugs them and he squeezes them; they don't even know his name, so it's more like: "I'm a prisoner. yeah a prisoner, I'm doin' time, time, time, time, time."
Dion is my jam through and through. He is where I got the inspiration for my channel theme. And the sole artist that got me into classics. Such a great song
@@jamieritter3873 Hey, you never know, LOL !! My car that I sold about 20 years ago still had an eight track player. Wish I knew your husband collected them... I would have saved and given him my vast collection, hehe :)
@@l-bird Don't worry, Bird. Some things go away and eight tracks are one of them. However, I am still clinging to my lp and 45 collection. Vinyl is here to stay. However, my husband does think I should give up my stacked heeled shoes from when I was a disco fiend. Ah, disco always puts me back into my happy place.
Without these guys rock and roll would never have existed. That dude was a badass back in the day. He's got some great music. His catalogue is definitely worth exploring
You should react to The Highwayman by the Highwaymen. Fantastic song by a supergroup composed of Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson.
Love your t-shirt...Totally 50"s classic!! My parents had a huge stereo, it was furniture in the 70's, and they played this music all the time...good memory.
So cool 2 see u reviewing these Golden Oldies, Jamal. Early-mid 60's were still somewhat reminiscent of the 50's pop music. Then things got Groovy in the latter 60's. But still..alot of great old hits from back then 🙂🙂
Hey Jamel! Dion DiMucci, and his group The Belmonts, grew up right here in Da Bronx. They started out as a rock n roll group. But Dion split and went out on his own. By the mid-60's, he followed his heart and began to embrace the social change happening in America. His music aligned more with folk music, and he had more hits and a new audience. His career went quiet until the mid-80's, when Lou Reed asked him to back him up on his song, "Dirty Blvd". Btw, I didn't have to look any of that up. Dion is one of rock's minor Legends. Lou Reed knew it, too. And he was a legend himself. Check out Dion's songs "Ruby" and "Abraham, Martin and John" to see how he changed. So different, but both are brilliant. And also check out Lou Reed's "Dirty Blvd". A unique artist, well ahead of his time. ✌🏽out.
Can't do Dion without Runaround Sue!
THESE^^^^ !!!!
Good call!!
Absolutely not!
I would leave a like but there's 69 of them already. Oh the humanity, my head says yes, my inner child says no and is still giggling
My favorite Dion tune is "Abraham, Martin, and John"
Run Around Sue. is an all time all timer by Dion
Yeah, but he ended up marrying Sue, lol!
Great one as well!!
I was a 90s kid and that song was my absolute favorite growing up!! I listened to an oldies station always hoping and waiting for it hahaha
My favourite. It was introduced to me through Eddie and the Cruisers.
Yeah flip side of the same story.
Dion wasn't just a teen heartthrob, he's the real deal. He's still making great music. Love his blues stuff.
Just came out with a new album yesterday!
We'd call that guy a Player now. I grew up on this song. My mom taught me to Stroll on it. I loved to sing it. 50s/60s were the bomb
This was my parents music. My mom taught me the stroll and how to jitterbug. Great memories
i be strokin!
Anyone else interested in Del Shannon's Runaway, just askin.
Oh Yes, good one!
Love that song! The organ playing is awesome!!
@@kimba527 Always thought it sounded like lost in space...the organ solo i mean
I love that song!
Definitely!
"Wake up little Susie" by the Everly brothers is a must hear.
If there was an Everly Brothers parody about pirates, would it be called "Let It Be Smee"?
@JSENNER83 and Cathy's Clown! That harmony in the main hook.. wow!
Omg yes please! 🙏🙏🙏
Best harmony ever,,
Devoted to You, actually just about anything by the Everly's.
His daughter went to my high school. Back in 1990..ish. He would come into our Mass Media class and play for us. Really cool guy and a true legend.
... WHAT
Awesome.
Did you marry into the family 👪? Lol that would be epic
That’s amazing
...The Platters...The Platters....THE PLATTERS.
"Only You"....."The Great Pretender"...and the pure magic of..."Smoke Gets In Your Eyes".
....heavenly.
Oh please!!!
Still waiting waiting waiting
Golden music for sure brother
Fast forward to 1968. Dion had another hit with "Abraham, Martin and John."
YES!
One of the best ever!
Don’t forget Runaround Sue!
One of the greatest songs he did! Yes!
And Mom's Mableys version hits home..
Many years he recorded the song, "Abraham, Martin, and John." Give it a listen J...a lot of meaning.
@Gus Goose Yes it is....very, very moving.
Love that song, it is still as good as it was when he recorded it.
@@diannachamp3888 It remains relevant to this day with all the social strife we find ourselves in.
Amen to that. Still has a lot of meaning today.
Yes! Please
I'm a metal head, but my dad used to love music like this. The film "the wanderer's" is probably my favorite film ever
I love that movie too.
My Nan got me into that film when I was a kid loved all the music in old films amazing x watched it last week bought it on Xbox store movies and binge watched it lol x
A much better movie then The Warriors.
Music in that film is awesome x
I remember back in the late fifties listening to Dion on WKBW in Buffalo, ny. On my little red transistor He is rock and roll. Thank you Jamel for finding the real oldies.
I live in Buffalo. I’m only 37 but this song has always spoke to me.
If he met “Sue” before this then he’s just lashing out, but if “the wanderer” met “Runaround Sue” then I guess he met his match AND got what was comin’ to him.
👏
It could be fun if it was "a man named Sue ".
@@illonakarl-fuyu4180 *fingerguns* Well done!
BEST COMMENT 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Haha
JAMAL- if you love this, you’ll also love King of the Road, by Roger Miller. That song is Schmoove. 😀
I have trailer. It's for sale or rent...
Don't forget Mack, The Knife!
Some of these old songs really had their own style.
Great stuff!
I love that song!
Yessssss!! ❤
Agree

I'd like to see Jamel react to "I Wonder Why".
Yes, he just released a new album last month "Blues With Friends":
americansongwriter.com/dion-records-with-springsteen-on-blues-with-friends/
Dion is a living legend. He used to be Dion And The Belmont’s till he went solo. Try I Wonder Why, Teenager In Love. He also did a great song Abraham, Martin and John. (Abe Lincoln, Martin Luther Jr. and John Kennedy). He still performs today. He’s got to be in his 80’s now. Great music.
This guy was a pop music Top 40 MONSTER. He swept the nation with this song.
Everybody is requesting Runaround Sue, but my personal favorite from them is “I Wonder Why”
that doo wop gets them everytime!
Gene Chandler- duke of earl, isley bros-shout, and cant go wrong with some sam cooke. I could go on and on. I can jam on 50s and 60s all day
Mo Isley played guitar comparably to Jimi Hendrix! After Shout by the Isley Brothers, he's gotta check out Summer Breeze. Seals and Croft did it first, but Isley Bros put some Soul into it!
Yes without a doubt Duke of Earl a must
Daniel Waters same with me. Love it!
Yes!! I second this. Especially Duke of earl! ❤❤
This song was a big hit. Others are right: “Runaround Sue”.
czcams.com/video/ik57HLn0Nm0/video.html Runaround Sue, the female version of The Wanderer... Audience still has no movement, but it is a different one than The Wanderer...
My Revival Defintely voices back then had more character - they didn’t all sound the same.
Runaround Sue is such a great song. I think Dion's voice is so much better on it.
Love the smile on your face when you realize how much you like music from this era.
Try “Tears on My Pillow” by Little Anthony from that same era.
Yes 🤩🤩🤩
Love that song.. Im a sucker for doo wop. Lol
The ironic thing is that he has been married since 1963, so I don’t think he spent too long playing the field.
Yup, to Runaround Sue, lol!
Married to Sue! He says he used his future wife's name because it fit.
The song was written for his neighbor with all his girl tattoos 9n his body for reminders. As he was in the merchant marines. Dion wrote the song when he was 13 if I recall. As the song says, flo on my left, mary on my right, I tair open my shirt, rosie on my chest. As his neighbor traveled when he got the itch.

If he had released this in the last few years I can just imagine some feminists' heads exploding. I am one female who is NOT a feminist and I LOVE this song.
Just heard Dion has a new blues album ( cd) with a list of great musicians.
Jeff Beck, Bruce Springsteen etc. 2020.
Yeah, we need to get the Wanderer together with Run Around Sue, what a couple that would be. 😀
Life imitating art? :-)

I love the one guy who was grooving to it but was trying to be subtle since everyone else wasn't.
🤣 I saw that.
Haha totally! He makes that look like "Yeah, I know how it is"
Yeah when he put his head down, I was like “NO don’t let them shame you!”
That last guy in the audience was a playa. He was thinking "That's me!"
PLEASE, 60 years later Dion just released a song about Sam Cooke, of whom he was close to. It's a beautiful song that Paul Simon helps out
ONLY IN AMERICA
Love your reactions! You are the best! 😜✌️
This is easily my favourite channel on CZcams right now.
I always think of the 1979 movie “The Wanderers” when I hear this song. Great movie!
Wanderers forever and don't take any wooden pussy!
dont f with the wongs
Dion: I'm the kind of guy who likes to roam around
Also Dion: Stay away from Runaround Sue
Me: ...
Karma :)
@@daverhoden445 runaround sue happened first
I just want to thank you for your wholesome and fun videos given the state of the world today. Another great Dion song is I Wonder Why and Teenager in Love. Keep up the great stuff man!
Next one by him should be, "Run Around Sue" - Dion & The Belmonts
check out more of Dions music, Runaround Sue, Abraham Martin and John.Timeless artist even now
Absolutely love this song!!!!! You’re reaction is hilarious!!!!!!!
I love watching you when you are really enjoying a song... This is the best channel.
Dion DiMucci - he's still around, & still recording. One of the few original founders of rock & roll that's still with us. You really need to react to his song, 'Abraham, Martin, & John.'
Amazing how after so many years this early rock still is sweet music to our ears.
I gotta admit, I didn't get into this kind of music until playing the Fallout series games. The Wanderer was really big with Fallout 4.
I’d love to see musicians bring the style of music back. This is true American heritage and original contribution to the arts in all the world. The sound was amazing. It would be great to see black American doo-wop groups again as well
I’m sure you have heard it but Dion also did “Abraham, Martin and John” you NEED to react to that!

Abraham Martin and John is as important today as when released in August of 68
Jamel, I’m having a real dumpster fire of a day but your giggles man, you’re cheering me right up! Thank you!!
*LOL!* - The best facial reactions I've seen yet from you.
Dion's Prima donna was another great song. Dion's has that whole styling and profiling.
Love Dion. My mom used to play the "oldies" when I was younger and I loved them. She taught me to dance to them. Thank you Jamel!

I will vote for that one too!! Amazing vocals 🎤🎶
Thanks,I never knew who sung that song and forgot how great it is.

How about some Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison from the same time period?
Roy Orbison, for sure.
Yes!!!!
Yes! Roy Orbison "You got it" and "Crying" (the version with K.D. Lang)
Yeah, definitely do "Ooby Dooby" or even " In Dreams" by Roy Orbison
I have always loved Dion. His Christian music is just as good as his earlier work. Thanks for this great memory.

The fifties is extremely underrated.
Dion wasn't just a wanderer, he was a player.
So happy to see you do these songs from the 60's. I was born in 1953 so I grew up with this music. Thank you Jamal. You too cool!!!
You need to please react to Del Shannon's Runaway it was done in the early 60's.
This is basically a song about being a player!!!! Is this really the 50’s? 😂😂😂😂😂

Your reaction to this was so much fun! LAMO. Your too much fun! Thanks for the fun.
You are Hilarious!!! I love this music, love to dance to it as well. Because of this video, I have finally subscribed to your channel.
"Seventeen" by Janis Ian - her voice is unbelievable and the lyrics hit an unforgettable emotional note.

2 nd day watching your vids..... love your attitude towards life
Dion just released a new album a week ago.
Seeing these oldies...have you listened to The Everly Brothers?Hit after hit with these guy's!
Wake up Little Susie!!
Hey Jamel! Dion DiMucci, and his group The Belmonts, grew up right here in Da Bronx. They started out as a rock n roll group. But Dion split and went out on his own. By the mid-60's, he followed his heart and began to embrace the social change happening in America. His music aligned more with folk music, and he had more hits and a new audience. His career went quiet until the mid-80's, when Lou Reed asked him to back him up on his song, "Dirty Blvd". Btw, I didn't have to look any of that up. Dion is one of rock's minor Legends. Lou Reed knew it, too. And he was a legend himself. Check out Dion's songs "Ruby" and "Abraham, Martin and John" to see how he changed. So different, but both are brilliant. And also check out Lou Reed's "Dirty Blvd". A unique artist, well ahead of his time. ✌🏽out.
My mother showed me how they danced to this and it was awesome! My mother is 73 and she still has the moves!
