I love the second song the most ( but all their music is good); am aware it's a remake of a Frankie Lane song.I think Dion's version is better,just seems to have more pep to it.
I'm 49, when I was about 10 years old, I used to go to sleep listening to this music, with a small radio close to my ears so that I wouldn't wake up any one, when my mom heard the music 😆🤭 she would get so mad at me, and I had to turn the radio off ( when volume was a little to high I guess) I have always felt like I was born in that beautiful era 😍😍😍😍😍🎵🎶🎼🎤🎺📻☎️📟📺🎬📽🎥📹📼
¡ Exelente grupo para su epoca ! adelantado en el tiempo , una clase para los conjuntos de hoy y para compositores de ahora , hermosas. letras y melodias . Hoy con 68 años amo esta musica .
Absolutely GREAT doo-wop group. About halfway through the song "Every Little Thing I Do" there's a short falsetto bridge done by their first tenor that is, for me, the most splendid and lyrical doo-wop passage ever recorded.
I remember waiting and waiting for these little Laurie 45's to come to my record store. Back then, you could take the record and listen to it in a glass booth. I could barely afford one 45, but they were treasures that I played hundreds of times. Love you Dion.
I'd have to call a tie. Two very different songs: I Wonder Why and Where or When. First Wonder Why is my best doo wop song ever. Second - Where or When beautiful cover of R&H
true story: ALL great white singers learned from black musicians and were influenced by them. you can tell white singers who weren't--their singing is usually so vanilla and uninspired. Dion DiMucci is a great example of a white guy who loved black music and was inspired by it. in fact, a lot of white doowop bands were inspired by black musicians. two other great examples are Janis Joplin and Amy Winehouse. the richness and variety of their vocals is definitely doowop and gospel inspired.

I agree and thanks for commenting.
What voices! They were so great together.
Nothing like great talent in true stereo !

Thanks for commenting and I know what you mean.
One of the all-time greatest groups!

I did the exact same thing back then. Holy cow, those million years sure went fast.
Wow! Great music man
They really were great...thanks for commenting.
I would gather 20 or 30 records listen to all then buy just one cause that's all I could afford l miss that so much.
Thanks Sonny.
Que maravilla de esta colección de bellas canciones
"I wonder why"
If we have to choose just one song to identify what doowop is, it's this one.
I'd have to call a tie. Two very different songs: I Wonder Why and Where or When. First Wonder Why is my best doo wop song ever. Second - Where or When beautiful cover of R&H
Nice!
I love this era of music because it was befor DRUGS ruined America
dion was a heroin addict at the time of recording this lol
🤣🤣🤣
Thank you Sonny, I forgot the names to most of the songs and couldn't find the songs by using it's lyrics.
I wonder 🤔why I love ❤you like I do💃🕺
Why aren't they in the R&R HAll of Fame?
Dion is and the Belmonts are (I think), but not Dion and the Belmonts
Many thanks Sonny for putting these timeless treasures up for all to enjoy . Are any of these guys still about ?
Great song, and if I’m not mistaken, didn’t Dion star in a movie called called Cop and a Half?
