This is definitely one of the best songs, ever.

No need to apologize for the sound quality. This is fabulous for those of us who grew up 45's played on those little portable record players and AM hit radio. This was also the era of rabbit ears and snowy channels so we are used to it. Built character!

I lived down the block from Dion as a child until my early teens. Would see walking by my block all the time.

What harmony.!!!!!....all in step, and all so clean looking.....these guys sure nailed this one.

This is the record (song) that launched the careers of the Bronx's own Dion and The Belmonts on the LAURIE record label. 4 Italian-American guys from around the Belmont/Arthur Ave.(FORDHAM) section of the Bronx, NYC in the spring of 1958, giving us forever two an' half minutes of pure "Do-Wopp" magic-gold!! Carlo's unforgettable bass intro, Angelo's angelic-high falsetto, Dions SUPERB lead and of course Freddy (RIP) tying it all together. Dion and The Belmonts followed in the footsteps of the Great "Do-Wopp" pioneers and what a great and wonderful legacy of music they gave us! Looking at this film footage what Dick Clark gave us is like looking into a mirror of 1950's America...the Eisenhower years. The hair, the suits, the shoes, the teens in the audience, the black and white film footage, all part of that innocent by-gone era. I have always loved this song and ALWAYS will. Thank you Dion and the Belmonts for all the music and the memories and for truly being such a big part of our old Bronx, NYC!...........God Bless you all................

I remember Dion and The Belmonts well. Teenage memories from back then..No music today as good as these groups...

these were the best 50's songs ... Dion & Belmonts were great performers

I am so grateful that Dion is still with us today. One of the last stars from that generation who is still alive.

Heavenly talent...voices in all parts - energy no one can equal ...unhortunately...today.

Never been a big high-tech,internet person but it is great to be able to pull up these great moments of music anytime you want...

These types of songs later became known as "Doo Wop." We just didn't have a name for it back then other than "Rock 'N Roll."

Now THAT is rock & roll! Iconic, timeless and wonderful!!!

Dion DiMucci...Fred Milano...Carlo Mastrangelo...Angelo D'Aleo-Dion & The Belmonts

Please bring this kind of music back!

dion is a legitimate LEGEND! i have seen him in concert a couple of times and he rocked the house!! i will be seeing him again in july of 2022! can't WAIT!! i was 4-years-old in 1958 and i am now 66. he has been around forever. love the harmonies of doo-op! beats the hell out of rap and hip hop garbage.

Just brought tears to my eyes....So good!,

Here is one of my favorite artists of all-time singing one of his biggest hit song of all-time. I wish this show was still shown on tv today because it badly missed. Thank god we have KZfaq to watch classic video of great music being performed.

An amazing record from Dion and the Belmonts

The mission of Carlo Mastrangelo in this worl f9inished in this week......He passed away........God bless you Carlo....Tahnk you so much for all the job you made for usw........R I P.......

As I appreciate this beautiful song I try to get in to the mind of the band...and I wonder...did they ever really appreciate how wonderful this song was ....is ....and would be for future generations...music as it should be....

There will never be music this good anymore.

love the dancing... how they come in out of the line

Man.......what happened too music.... Groups like this is TRUE AMERICAN music... Today's music is a disgrace and noise... Thanks for sharing... Love this song and the movie Christine I heard it on...

I love how energetic Angelo is

An absolute Rock N' Roll masterpiece !!! As good as it gets.

This song represents the 50's! ^^

great song, love their dance moves!

Dion and the belmonts from the Bronx New York on delmont avenue they live that's why they picked the name the belmonts just an amazing group it's a shame they split up if the few years of singing each one went there separate way some of them didn't sing anymore Dion kept singing and he lives in Florida now but it's a shame the way these things going up we could only turn that clock back again start all over again would be wonderful I give this video five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Back in those days when disc jockeys played Sensible Music I can remember this song I wonder why vividly. As a young kid I was marching in a drum and bugle corps Doing all the drum rudiments and learning to work with good musicians. Any way this song was climbing the charts and man everyone was dancing to this. A part of American Music that was solid and fun loving to listen to and dance to. Everything today is really loud and louder. No more four part harmony just tons of noise.

In later years, Dion said the very beginning of the song was just a vocal intimation of the horns in a band that they liked.. The vocalization of horns continues throughout the song and is an integral part of the song.

Never tire of songs from this era..!

If you were there you can't forget. 72 And still dancing..

I would have LOVED to have been in a group like this. They were the BEST! ...Enough said.

Dion you had it then.....and you have it now...love your blues CD's!

Dion is one of the greatest. Love his voice, his music, and he is handsome.

The ""IFIC" signs were part of a Beechnut gum ad campaign, ...FlavorIFIC!

Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons might have been the Jersey boy's but Dion and The Belmonts were most definitely the Bronx boy"s.

I can't believe my grandma was eight/nine when this was up. She's not even in her seventy's! Man she was right. Time flies.

this song is so underrated nowadays😢

This is Italian soul.....even has the "Wop wop wop " love you brother.

Big thanks to The Master for the talent remastering of this rare video !

Simply the Best Doo Wop song of all time ! Hands down !

A great song from the fabulous 50,s by the amazing Dion and the Belmonts

They just don’t make music as good as they used to. This is great and brings back such great memories

Great stage presentation!

This video brought back a memory for me. I was 9 at the time, but my older sister (14) was really into top-40 music and I knew all the songs that she liked. We were at a relative's house for some kind of birthday party when this came on the TV and I somehow remember being mesmerized, watching these guys do their thing. I looked it up, and May 24, 1958 was a Saturday night when the weekend edition of American Bandstand was on. It is fantastic to see it again! I love how Dion blended in with the group during the high falsetto parts, then came back to the forefront for the lead vocal. An all-time great song!

This combines the best of doo wop & rock. Its great!

The best Dion and The Belmonts song should have made number one.

Carlo Mastrangelo r.i.p. from all the fans here in chesterfield rnr club uk my all time fave doo wop group

I thought all of them were adorable! I never could pick a favorite. They were all so cute.

You gotta love these guys. I mean, look at how cute that smoulder from Dion is! Ultimate cool! *Does Freddie remind anyone else of Tom Hanks in Apollo 13?

This is pure gold!!

Lip syncing or not, it doesn't get better than this when it comes to harmony. And Dion is just cute as they get in this.

Best song of the '50s...

doctordoowop, Dion's chiming Freddies part, not Angelo's. Thats because they're grouped left to right by height, and they adapted the chimes to their physical sizes. The beginning and ending chimes on the actual record are (in order): 1-Carlo (bass-baritone) 2-Dion (baritone) 3-Freddie (2nd tenor) 4-Angelo (tenor) Freddie's taller than Dion. To keep in "synch" with the symmetry of the stage appearance, Dion now has to chime Freddie's part, and vice versa.

"A BRONX TALE"...

His peak number in 1960s #1- runaround sue (1961) Prima Donna (1963) The wander (1962) Abraham , John and Martin (1968)

I wonder why I've always loved this song and I was born decades after💕. Think Mummy always played it.😉

This is music 👏👌🎶

Dion rocks even now!

Ya gotta hand it to the Italians.

No mob movie would be complete without this track

its 2020 AD DION HAS GOT A NEW ALBUM OUT and its killer

Dion and the Belmont's absolutely best band in that era

I remember listening this song for the first time when I saw the very first episode of "The Sopranos".

Dion released his inner Elvis at 1:12-1:16🙌🏽

Dion and his comrades sure know how to have a good time, they REALLY get into it here! And the way they even look as if they really appreciate each other as the audience cheers them on, getting praise from the MC at the end! They were indeed one of the greatest bands from 1958!

Thanks so much for re-posting this in a better quality! One of my alltime Beechnut favorites, the best of Dion & The Belmonts. Hope Dick Clark Productions will bring this great clip and the others out on DVD.

There's Angelo! They were so cute.

Brilliant, From Da Bronx !!!

I love it good job

Every American should have a 1950s car with this music coming out of it... Period!

Great, thank you very much.

Great do-wop song from 1958

I love these guys and the song! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Nasci na década de 70. A três anos atrás fiz um grande achado, encontrei as músicas 🎶 dos anos 60 internacionais. Amei as músicas.

That slightly drooping right Eyelid of Dion always made me think that at any second should someone make a wrong movement, there would be blood! Even as he grew older that eye looked killer!

Great stuff/

loveeeee this forever.

Thank you!

What absolutely awesome talent.
