Vocals - Dion DiMucci He has such a lovely warm, rich voice. He's a bit of an unsung hero and singer, even though he's responsible for such legendary songs as "The Wanderer".

I’m one of those poor stiffs working today as the United States celebrates the legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr. That doesn’t mean, however, that I can’t honor the moment with the legendary Dion DiMucci performing his classic “Abraham, Martin and John”.

In a long career now spanning some firty years, Dion Dimucci (of Dion and the Belmonts, above with Bo Diddley) has experienced many ups and downs. Through it all, he has maintained a rare purity in his work. At every stage of his career you can hear the blues coming through. In 2003 Dion appeared as part of an oldies show at the Iowa State Fair, a show that I am reliably informed was pathetic until...
