Thanks for posting this! It was a very special night and led to me meeting Michael Jackson. (He's in the back row wearing red.) I performed with Lou Reed on this show.
I was singing back up for Lou Reed. I was wearing a tall black hat rapped around my hair that flowed out of the top of it and a metal mesh dress. I was standing next to Al Jarreau.
Did anyone notice Tony Orlando in the background? Funny thing is Dion wrote "Runaround Sue", about Sue, who he later married.But,truth be known that she also
dated Tony Orlando.Wonder what Tony was thinking as he sang here...
Bob, Runaround sue was wriiten about a girl from dion's neighborhood.. Her name was roberta, Dion used sue because it sounded much better in the hook( Heard Dion tell this story in a club in NYC.) As far as the Tony Orlando story you stand correct sir!
I did know that according to D, Sue wasn't the original name in the song,but think about it...Sue broke up with D & dated Tony Orlando,so do you think that there is something there? What I meant was that this is what was going thru Tony Orlando's mind at the time...
By that time, MJ owned the publishing to this song. So its no wonder he was in the back smiling. This was cash in his pocket. :)

THE GROUP YOU HEAR SINGING THE BACKGROUND TO RUNAROUND SUE IS "GUY VILLARI and THE REGENTS". THEY ARE THE ONES IN THE GRAY TUX JACKETS.

Mr DiMucci, you are truly one of the greatest performers! The man had such a powerful delivery and a cool New York attitude. King of The NY Streets.
