Not Responsible-Belmonts-'62-Sabina unreleased( H,Shapiro song).wmv

The Belmonts are a doo wop group that originated in the mid 1950s. The group consisted of Fred Milano, Angelo D'Aleo, Carlo Mastrangelo, and Nick Caruso. The group took their first name from Belmont Avenue in the Bronx. There were several stages in their history, including the 19581960 period with Dion DiMucci, when the group was named Dion and the Belmonts. At this time Mastrangelo handled the bass parts, Milano the tenor, DiMucci the lead vocal and D'Aleo the falsetto.1955 to 1960 The Belmonts first recorded in 1957 with Teenage Clementine and Santa Margherita for Mohawk Records. Also recording on Mohawk was Dion DiMucci, who joined the group as lead vocalist shortly thereafter. Now known as Dion and the Belmonts, they recorded "We Went Away" and "Tag Along" for Mohawk before leaving for the newly formed record label, Laurie Records. Their first release on Laurie, "I Wonder Why", brought them their first real success, charting in 1958. They followed it with the ballad "No One Knows", which was also a hit in their local area. They continued recording and, in 1959, were part of the Winter Dance Party tour that lost three members to a plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa — Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. Richardson (aka The Big Bopper)[citation needed]. DiMucci was actually offered a seat on the plane, but thought the fee of $36 was too much for such a short plane ride.[1] Photographs taken at the concert the night before the accident show Buddy Holly filling in on drums for the Belmonts, whose drummer was unwell with frostbite. Almost immediately after this tragedy, the quartet hit again with "A Teenager in Love". They recorded a few more songs, including "Where or When", which reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in early 1960. At various times the group performed without D'Aleo who had been drafted into the US Navy. One one occasion a national TV appearance was filmed with D'Aleo in navy uniform after he arrived just in time for the filming session.
