 | | The finger-popping city sound of Dion and the Belmonts is magnificent, but Dion, a city kid by birth, knew intuitively that his sound came from deep in the country. |
 | | Dion lived in a tough neighborhood -- he ran with a gang called the Fordham Baldies -- and he knew the code of the street backward and forward. |
 | | Dion's first hit single, the 1958 "I Wonder Why," made with the incomparable Belmonts (Angelo D'Aleo, Freddie Milano and Carlo Mastrangelo), is by no means a country record, but it holds the answer. |
