Dion Soundalike - Joey and The Continentals - Will Love Ever Come My Way (Rare One)

Here's a rare one. Check out that label! I wonder how many of these exist. The label was a paste over and has peeled a little bit over the years. It was probably put on the record by a member of the group or a one of their friends (fan club maybe?). What a cool piece of history. They were appearing in The Torchlight in Mentor, Ohio starting September 2, 1961. I wonder how long that went on for.

I picked up a trashed copy of this 45 in Mentor at a record store for a quarter.... didn't have a pasteover label unfortunately....my friend and i found the store by accident while he was going to an ATM and i saw it out of the corner of my eye while we were travelling.....a nice find for sure!

Nice song!! When did they record this? I'm surprised that it didn't do better than it actually did in the charts..I have never heard of this song or group before, but I'm diggin this song..He really sounds like Dion..Amazing!!!! Thx PJ..

I believe this is from 1961

Dion wrote this and recorded it on an album. I actually like this version better, a little bouncier. Joey and the Continentals were a terrific dance band, extremely popular on the east side of Cleveland in the early Sixties. They were at their best doing the wild stuff like Devil With a Blue Dress On, You Can't Sit Down, and Jenny Jenny Jenny. But Joey also excelled at ballads. I always remember his You Belong To Me. He was great!

@nattyrose3

I can. I've been listening to Dion and the Belmonts for 40 years now. In fact, I'm not far from his old neighborhood in the Bronx, near Arthur Ave. Little Italy. But, this Joey guy is very similar. He's probably the closest to Dion's impersonators I've ever heard.

I guess Dion made some recordings using another name to double his salary :-)
