Dion Francis DiMucci, better known as Dion, is a legendary American singer-songwriter whose work has incorporated elements of doo-wop, rock and R&B styles and, most recently, straight blues. He was one of the most popular American rock and roll performers of the pre-British Invasion era. He had more than a dozen Top 40 hits in the late 1950s and early 60s. Songs such as 'Teenager In Love,' 'Runaround Sue,' 'The Wanderer,' 'Ruby Baby,' and 'Abraham, Martin and John' are woven into the fabric of American rock history. In 1959 Dion gave away his seat on the plane that ended the lives of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper during the infamous 'Winter Dance Party Tour.' Throughout his life, Dion has never stopped making music and experimenting with styles, producing bodies of work in later years ranging from the influential Phil Spector-produced 1975 album 'Born To Be With You' to the blues in later years. Dion was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1989, introduced by Lou Reed.
