Abstract:As the lead singer of Dion and the Belmonts in the late 1950s, Dion DiMucci captured the heart of America with chart-toppers like "Runaround Sue", "The Wanderer", and "A Teenager in Love." His later solo success with "Abraham, Martin, and John" in 1968 contributed to his twelve gold records. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Dion explored folk, blues, and gospel, earning a Grammy nomination in 1985 and an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 alongside icons like the Rolling Stones and Stevie Wonder. In this collection, Dion shares intimate conversations with close friend Adam Jablin, reflecting on his rise to fame, battles with heroin addiction, a sixty-year marriage, and the influential figures in his music career, including Hank Williams and Bob Dylan. Features over 200 photos, plus "Words from Friends" essays by Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Peter Townshend, Dave Marsh, and Dick Clark
