DION HEROES Time Life interview

I love Dion. He is the last of the first generation rock and rollers still playing and recording. In 2008 Dion made a great CD called Heroes : Giants of early guitar rock. The guitar player on the album is the late Robert "Crow" Richardson, a brilliant guitarist who flew further under the radar than his hero Cliff Gallup.
With the CD came a DVD. I always hoped someone would post this DVD. They haven't so I have (apologies to Dion). If you are interested in 1st generation Rock and Roll, watch and enjoy. Then go and buy the CD or download the songs legally.

How many guys do you know in their late 70’s sound so good?(Dion is 77 in this)! Dion has to be one of the most talented rockers there’s ever been, and he’s still going strong! He’s been doing this since the mid-fifties, that’s now approaching EIGHT DECADES! Yes fans that means he’s definitely one of the all time greats! And he’s a beautiful human being too! We love you Dion ❤️❤️❤️.

Nope - He ain't 77 in this video. The video was recorded in 2008. He was born in 1939 so he would have been 69.

I first heard Dion in 2008 and he launched me into a world of 50s era rock that I can hear inspiration derived from in my favorite bands of today like The Strokes and The White Stripes etc...

You must see his new musical called the Wanderer. It's sooooooooo great! Coming to Broadway soon. Just finished it's debut run at Paper Mill Theater. I saw the last show on the 28th. Couldn't sit still!

Dion’s music enters your soul & just relishes itself in there ….very few artists & music can do this…..that is why people react to his music so intensely, passionately, & take themselves to a place of enchantment that is hard to top !!! I’ve been a fan from the start, & will always be !!!

You bring up great memories of my teenage years. At 14-19 I taught my Italian family: parents, aunts and uncles and our cousins how to dance with your music they had a dance party every month. Oh Jackie Wilson had a great operatic with soul voice and I was in love with Rickie Nelson. Thanks for the memories. I worked in Met life and every break we were in the ladies room with our transistor radio learning the latest dance steps from our black friends.

I always loved Dion since I heard him for the first time in 1962 singing Ruby Baby. There's a lot of his music, be it ballads, blues, folk or rock and roll that I appreciate. Living in France, I couldn't really learn to know the personality and the musician. So, to a certain extent, with that interview I discover what a great guy he is. And it makes me love him even more. Thanks for all, mister.

Dion is great and awesome, one of the best vocalist ever BUT....with all due respect, regarding Johnny Cash's guitar player, the man that played on all the great Sun Records was Luther Perkins( not Norman Blake.) Blake played wonderful acoustic on some of Cash's Columbia recordings. Luther Perkins was his guitarist on I WALK THE LINE. It's a little thing to over look cause Dion is Dion, one of the best.
