Dion - Lonely Teenager (STEREO)

[scdevon]

The girls sing the backing vocals are fantastic. They really nailed it on this take.

[u000drl]

i've tried to research, no one [but dion himself, and manbe not even he] knows who these background singers were. we may never know.

[SirBasildeBrush]

@u000drl mankind was never meant to know...

[u000drl]

@SirBasildeBrush - somewhere there were 2-3 girls that had their moment of fame, but got sort of slighted.

[scdevon]

@u000drl The backing vocals were done by some combination of Betty Jayne / The Teenettes / Anita Kerr Singers. The backing vocals are really impressive.

[LOKISlog7]

How do you NOT like this?????

I wish I could have been 17-21 in this time........

[26highstreet]

Should have been a bigger uk hit, always far more popular in the usa then he was in the uk

[UtahCarl]

I saw him at the Blue Room in New Orleans (Fairmont Hotel) with my girlfriend. My father said we should give the front desk a stamped envelope asking for his autograph. I saw them put the envelope in his box. That was 1962. Still waiting.

[SirBasildeBrush]

I'd ask for your concert money back.

[JOYOUSONEX]

For the hell of it...ya oughta try again.....

[oldieslove123]

[barrygioportmorien1]

This is one of my very favouritre Dion songs, unbelievable it wasn't a huge hit.

[LaVerne37]

did HELEN SHAPIRO record this gem? AND this is a different version...and WHY wasn't I notified? Geezzzz let a guy shank a fellow inmate in prison and Basil's communications cease.......did I mention HELEN SHAPIRO????

[SirBasildeBrush]

What's "shank" mean? Maybe I don't want to know...

[LaVerne37]

Urban prison term...to stab someone with a homemade knife...but I told them not to touch my Helen records......

moooohahahaaaaa!!!!

well you asked..."I'm just sayin' "

[packingten]

@SirBasildeBrush  a Shank is a Knife. a Shiv same thing , Blade, Switchblade ditto

[SirBasildeBrush]

@packingten Thanks for the info.

[shatinterry]

This version sound great! did you do anything to enhance it Sir B , very good ,enjoy it

[SirBasildeBrush]

Thanks. It's as it came off the CD - but I think this is the first stereo posting.

[strandwolf]

This did much better in the US I'm pretty sure.

[stripeyhole]

Those disembodied pink gloves frighten me! Dion was such a great singer...

[SirBasildeBrush]

Be more worrying if they were his hands...

[stripeyroom]

; )

[TheJester1962]

is, amigo, IS a great singer...

[stripeyroom]

amig-a...I don't doubt for a minute he's still great--I just haven't heard him sing lately, so to say is wouldn't be accurate.

[JOYOUSONEX]

GREAT tune!! Thanks for posting!!

[SirBasildeBrush]

My pleasure.

[angelofbebop]

Ahhh..... Dion ..... Such a "dreamy" ballad! Thank you for posting this gem Basil. Dion always makes my day!

[LaVerne37]
