DION ~ RUNAROUND SUE

DION ~ RUNAROUND SUE. I recorded Runaround Sue with “The Del-Satins” and black musicians from the Apollo theater, Buddy Lucas on Sax, Sticks Evans on drums, Panama Francis on percussion,Teacho Wilshire on piano, Milt Hinton on bass, and Mickey “Guitar” Baker. ~ When Hollywood filmed this rendition they use all white actors playing musicians behind me, knowing the film wouldn't get played in the South at that time.

No fireworks, no light show, just a guy, a microphone and his band.

This man is straight killing it and the crowd looks like they’re in a cemetery

[shawnlove]

Dion has been married to the same woman since 1963 and is a Christian..he still writes songs the man is a class act

[bowlingdj]

2024 and this still absolutely packs the dance floor everytime, full time dj here! What a Gem

[jaydenblackwell]

Honestly the catchiest disstrack I’ve ever heard.

[hooha]

Heard a quote other day saying" when you were young you loved the music but when you get older you appreciate the words"
I like it

[martincosgrove]

He's 83 years old now what a singing legend rite here in 2023.

[tomp]

One of the best songs ever recorded. You can't help yourself when you start to toe tap or sway to the terrific rhythm of this tune.

[hansombrother]

This guy is killing it and the audience is dead.

God was showing off when he made Dion's voice.

[MrTwoscoops]

It’s 2020 and this song is as kick ass as it has ever been, love it

[BulletProof_Viking]

Over fifty years later and we're feeling this more than the original audience

[MrStarburstGuy]

There's no use in acting like you were "born in the wrong generation". This is the music I like, and if it's the music you like, go out and make more. No reason the modern era can't enjoy this anymore.

[viniciuscampos]

I was born in the right generation, I can listen to that anytime I want, instead of waiting for the radio to play it

[Robert-xejl]

A true performer. Something sadly missing from today's mainstream music scene. Definitely one of the greats.

I’m a 39 year old teenager. I love 50’s and 60’s rock. Grew up on it.

[ross]

As someone who knows Dion personally, he is an amazing human being that helps out hundreds of thousands. Love this man

[annhitchcock]

I saw Dion when I was 15 at Manatee Civic Center in Bradenton, Florida. It was the late 80’s. I had fun but I appreciate that memory a lot more now. I didn’t realize I was witnessing a legend at the time. Now I’m a child of the 70’s who loves this genre of music. Thank you for the post!

[valeriepancoast]
