Dion (& The Belmonts)

From the Bronx, Dion DiMucci was star material. At his first recording session his producer brought in a group of singers for backing vocals. Dion was not impressed. He'd heard better singers on street corners in the 'hood. So he hit the streets and organized the Belmonts (named after a street that intersected their neighborhood).
