Bio Excerpt from All Music:

Bridging the era between late-'50s rock and the British Invasion, Dion DiMucci (born July 18, 1939) was one of the top white rock singers of his time, blending the best elements of doo wop, teen idol, and R&B styles.

Drug problems slowed him down in the mid-'60s, yet he made some surprisingly interesting progressions into blues-rock and folk-rock as the decade wore on, culminating in a successful comeback in the late '60s, although he was unable to sustain its commercial and artistic momentum for long. ...

All Music Album Review:

There are countless Dion & the Belmonts compilations on the market and this one isn't that different than any of them, but it does include the essential early hits, all recorded between 1958 and 1963 for Laurie Records, like "Runaround Sue," "I Wonder Why," "A Teenager in Love," "The Wanderer," "Lovers Who Wander," and "Where or When," so for the casual listener at least, this set will most likely do the trick. There's a lot more to the story than these 18 tracks, though.
