  • To call Dion 'good' is an unjust underrating of his talent(s) because he's truly multi-talented.

  • I was 14 when I first met Dion at the Flick Coffee House in Miami 1969. I was playing bass for my brother, Don Dunaway and his partner, George Corochano, they were called Bittersweet.

    Dion was, is... the coolest! I was so fortunate to watch and learn from Dion, as well as a host of many musical icons that frequented the Flick in the late 60's..

    41 years later I still love Dion's music and all the life lessons he taught me with out him ever knowing.

    God bless you Dion

  • When I die I want to go to rock and roll heaven.If I find myself next to the self righteous MrChristianFaith I'll know I'm in Hell !

  • Before the beatles came to the U.S. they had a lead singer named Tony Sheridan and they played mostly cover tunes. One of which was "Ruby Baby",a song first recorded by The Drifters in the mid 50's,but Dion made it a #2 billboard hit circa '61.The beatles version is great and adds horns and Sheridan sounds just like Dion on this track and also does a great Elvis impersonation on other tunes such as "Ya Ya". Dion Dimucci's version is by far my favorite!

  • @MrChristianFaith

    I can assure you--from recent Dion interviews and a recent book of his--that he loves Christ today as much as he did in the '80s, if not more. He's a man of deep faith. God bless!

  • @JGMusic40 What do you mean by "stevie wonder speech"?

  • Dion do you still love Jesus the way your 80's songs expressed? Or do you love the world now? Yes people are reaching out for something - Lennon reached out to Hindu and atheistic philosophies at different times.

    What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world yet loses his soul?

    I'm very sad when I think of anyone losing their soul.

  • Dion, the greatest R & R mannn.
