AHHHHHH, SUPER nice Dion Sound Alike! Lead is Gary Powell. Gary plays double bass for the Roomates and also does additional vocals at live gigs, too.

  • Apologies!!! I don't know how I managed to do it, but I hit dislike, when I meant to hit LIKE. So one of the two dislikes is actually a LIKE (it was a rough night last night!) Love this :)

  • @TheFreegang No problem at all my friend, just click the LIKE button and it'll change it from DISLIKE to LIKE.

  • I GREW UP LISTENING TO DION. THEY LIVED FAIRLY CLOSE TO ME, IN NEWARK, NJ.. THEY ARE VERY SPECIAL!

  • @Petekiv Yea, he lives fairly close to me now, still never got to meet him, someday? He now lives on the same block as Ernie Maresca, small world, isn't it? I was reading in his book last week about how they recorded "I Wonder Why" They did it only on the 3rd take on 1 MIC. Carlo's bass was written, WELLA WELLA WELLA and refused to do it, they huddled for a min. and came up with DEN DEN DEN DEDENN. sang the song and that's what they used. A sudden hit w/ 4 parts w/o any practice, amazing!

  • @erichudson2009 They have more practice than the original bands who in some cases

    hated rock and roll.

  • FANTASTIC!!!! LLLLLLLLLLOOVE IT!!!! Absolutely and totally LLLLOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

    Thank you VVVERY VVVERY MUCH for sharing

  • I didn't even know this existed on YT! I thought of the group tonight because I was in touch with someone whom I went to HS with at Pennsauken. It is the best sound alike I have ever heard, and I listen a lot. Thank you for providing this.

    Always liked this song, but it is so much more apropos today with all the superficiality by women just to snag a rich husband, wait 19 years, and dump him and get a big payday.

    Feel kinda sorry for young guys today.
