YALL CHECK OUT MY WIFE NEW REACTION VIDEOS SHE JUST UPLOADED AND LET HER KNOW THAT I SENT YOU. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ht2Zdpl8m9rcXaM.html

This is a scene from a movie called "Twist Around the Clock" and he's performing at a dinner club. The crowd has a lot of older (in the 60s, if you were over 30, you probably already had a house and kids and you were old) wealthy people. This kind of music was mostly "teen" music back then. Also, upper class people didn't let themselves get too excited in public back then. Good manners meant politely listening and clapping. Performers knew that at those kinds of places, they were going to get smiles and not much more. The smiles the end and the clapping meant they really enjoyed the performance. Even if teens were out with their parents, especially wealthy ones, they would have been expected to "behave" in public and not act crazy.

The people in this clip are the only human beings on this planet who could sit still while hearing Dion sing this. And that hasn't changed in the 60 years since this record came out. Dion is still married to his wife, Susan, since 1963. He's still making records and his voice is as great as it was back in the day!

Dion also had a hit called the Wanderer which was the opposite of runaround sue-I guess what goes around comes around.

Dion is now 83 and still pumping out blues albums.

Dion & The Belmonts were another great group from the late 50's-60's. They had some hits including "I Wonder Why", "No One Knows", "A Teenager In Love", "Where Or When" etc. Dion went solo & had some big hits such as "The Wanderer", "Ruby Baby", "Lonely Teenager", "Donna The Prima Donna" ,"Drip Drop", "Lovers Who Wander", "Little Diane", "Abraham, Martin & John" etc.

I graduated in 63 so this was my music. The reason they weren't really reacting part of it was cuz it's a movie but also at that time this type of music was completely foreign to anybody over 18 and the older people thought it was the devil's music & it was horrible they hated it. I can remember my parents just absolutely having conniption fits about the music, didn't stop me from listening to it though & loving it

This was a scene from a movie.

If I'm not mistaken this is a movie clip. Will check further and let you know. Recognize a few faces as extras in some old movies. Absolutely LOVE your channel, keep the magic going, thank you for the Joy!!

Always loved Dion!

I always thought of Dion as the rock and roll version of Frank Sinatra !!

I love your observation of the crowd, they almost looked like mannequins sitting there. Dion is definitely a talent, enjoyed this and watched it all with you.

This song was a banger!!! 🔥 You would hear this song in a lot of movies

This was from a movie called "Twist Around The Clock" from 1961. It's from a scene. Not a real live performance.

We had great music in the 50s and 60s. Real talent, great harmonies. In the 50's, Rock n Roll was new and people were suspicious of it. This a scene from a movie too.

Dion was one of the greatest of all time. Love him. The Wanderer is legendary as well. He still performs today. He was on tour with The Big Bopper Richie Valens and Buddy Holly when they were killed in that horrible plane crash. He never completely recovered from that. Dion is what legends are made of.

Hey, Adogg! A number of people spotted that the performance comes from a movie, and Bryan Ceja nails the title in his comment. He's also correct about how people behaved in THOSE days. I grew up as a subteen and teenager during those years. Only younger people were breaking out of sitting still and quiet for a performance, and they only did so when in a large crowd with other highly histrionic teens. (Think, notably, Elvis.) Believe me, many parents were not pleased with this behavior. In a "high class" night club, you remained dignified, composed, and "well mannered." As Bryan said, the audience indicated their pleasure by enthusiastic applause.

One of the very best! Please follow this up with The Wanderer - and Del Shannon's Runaway :)

I love Dion! "I Wonder Why" is my favorite.

This was a very different era. Many audiences, especially those in a nightclub where people were formally dressed, didn't approve of rock-and-roll at this time. I wouldn't be surprised if this audience wasn't actually offended by this preformance.

We used to call those people 'stiffs'. They were 'uptight'. Well behaved. Expected to be on their best behavior.

Dion is the singer- Dion DiMucci. I met him in the '80's when he was recording Contemporary Christian Music! This performance is a early clip from a movie. The audience are actors the are doing what they were told to do... Dion is a very personable guy and still a great talent!!

You should listen to Abraham , Martin and John by Dion .

King Of the New York Streets BY DION.. He is still jamming today....🎸🎵

Back in the day the crowds were told to be quiet when the bands were recording the song

True story growing up we went skiing every weekend. We lived 2 hours from the resort but had several other families we all went out to a restaurant / bar. When we first starting going there Saturday nights everyone sat around listening to the jukebox. But my dad loved to dance and was GOOD! Mom didn't ... one of the other ladies did and her husband didn't ... no one was threatened when dad asked her if she wanted to dance. From there it became history, we would all have dinner, kids got to play pinball and eventually a song like this or Jim Croce's Bad Bad Leroy Brown would come on the jukebox ... dad would dance for hours with many of the ladies. The men were happy because they didn't have to. A couple of his dance partners were pretty good and eventually certain songs were for certain partners. They would get applause ... but until the right songs came on the people sat around like statues. I miss him and the way life was with those friends. As adults all of us kids went our separate ways. Hardly any contact, but it always seems to be around the holidays we manage to touch base and remember when. What you witnessed was how things were in the early 60s and continued for some time when adults were out to dinner. There might be dancing (waltz and other slower tunes after dinner, and between singing performers) but audiences had to show proper decorum .... they were stiff or uptight about a lot back then.

Dion is a legend and now even in his 80’s he’s still performing. He originally was in the group Dion and the Belmonts and had many hit songs. By the way it’s Dee On lol And this is performed in a night club. The crowds are very respectful. They wait till the performance is don’t to show there appreciation. It’s not a rock concert. Love you old school videos. Keep ‘em coming

Have a band in town that plays current music & oldies. I dance to this song every time it comes on. Love it!

Love this song. I can't sit still with this song either. I can't imagine how they can just sit there.

I listen to this type of music when I am down. It always cheers me up.

Love Dion!! Other big hits from him that you might enjoy are "A Teenager in Love," and "The Wanderer"

Great singer. Fabulous groove.

Try "Abraham, Martin & John by Dion. Beautiful song!

This was in my day. they were very interested but this was a time of Etiquette and Politeness..They didn't get crazy because he was the focal point ( Not Them )....They sat and listened and gave the Performer The Stage...plus this was part of a movie...I love all my 45 singles I accumulated of Dion and The Belmonts. And the guy who said it was an Older Crowd obviously was not from my era.. Girls that were only 20 years old looked like they were 30 and same with the guys. The Hair style and Dress style... Back then my grandma was only 50 and looked 80... I am in my 70's and this was my era, 50's 60's....You have got to react to The Wanderer...

It used to be Dion and the Belmonts but this was his first song without them.

It's because it's a scene from a movie - If you can find a clip from American Bandstand, the crowd is different!

I think there were rules on behaviour out in public! American Bandstand helped changed how audiences reacted & could dance & sing along. As well when kids were at school dances things were very different & no stuffy parents ! Parties 🎉 were lively & quite uninhibited when playing records, once again without adult supervision 💜

Same on the song "The Wanderer", these were recorded for a movie, the crowd is being told how to act. The other song I mentioned is just as good if not better.

Raise is a scene from a movie and they are older adults when rock n' roll first started and they weren't into it. Girls use to svream their heads off. He came along at the same time as, Frankie Avalon, Bobby Rydell.

It was the beginning of rock and roll and the audience had never heard anything like this.

Crowds were Bette mannered back in the day lol think of a similar type scene from a mob movie and everyone’s just sitting and enjoying, smoking.

When l saw this film in the cinema we were all dancing in the asles

Love this song! And The Wanderer!

This one is just loads of fun!! Great reaction! Thanks🤩

He wrote and recorded Abraham Martin and John.

Love this! The folks in the audience were probably all parents of girls named Sue! No, it was the very beginning of rock ‘n roll, so they didn’t quite know what to do, even in a movie. If it had been a room of teenagers, it wouldn’t have been so sedate. Nice job, as always, well done. Peace from Ohio …

It was a different time back then!!! Everyone loved the song but they just stayed in there seats that's the way it was.

He did a complete 360 with Abraham Martin and John! Check it out!

Brooklyn street music.Dion described it himself.

Many mid-1950s to mid-1960s movies, esp. movies filmed in black & white, had song performances viewed by super uptight crowds to where, in those days, it was polite to sit quuetly, be tight azz & listen to a song. What u know as modern music concerts, w ppl dancing, only happened at black music clubs (basement parties or house parties) till as late as 1964 or 1965 when modern music concerts went fully mainstream.

Recorded at the Appolo theater, celebs and wealthy patrons frequented it. Back then it was considered gauche to show enthusiasm in a public setting, you'll notice there aren't any young people in the audience. Adults were so uptight they squeaked. Glad things have changed. Thanks for the joy.

If you are liking this, 50s 60s sounds the you have to listen to, STAYING IN, bobby vee

That's how crowds were expected to look and behave in 1961. A few years later, things were different.

This is actually a scene from a movie, and is filmed in a nightclub. It is not really the usual teenage crowd, but is older and supposedly more "sophisticated". A lot of them probably don't appreciate this new "rock and roll" stuff.

FYI I saw a talk show where they showed Sue the real Sue they married for their whole life; her and Dion. maybe that audience was part of a movie showing old people back then were against doowop rock n roll or rnb.

I remember my mom and dad listen to this that is why i like it

The walker brothers walking in the rain 😍🇬🇧❤️🙂

Runaround Sue is a great rock 'n' roll song. Nothing profound but dancing to this at a party was a joy. So glad you like Dion. Dion began to be noticed when he was the lead singer of "Dion and the Belmonts". Dick Clark had them on his shows.

The singers name is Dion the bands name is the Belmonts

My first album in the early 70's was oldies greatest hits of the 50's. This was on it. Also, my older sister is Sue & she was a runaround. I love it!

Perhaps all the women in the audience are named “Sue”?

As long as we're on movies, why not jump back up to the 80's? John Parr: St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)

I love this music

I think way back then in “polite” society they didn’t go crazy like we would. So, NOW you gotta do Dion’s “im the wanderer.”

It was a group called, Dion and The Belmonts. They were huge and had monster hits. He later on left the group and started a solo career singing folk music.

Absolutely love this 😀

he has a song he put out the last couple of years ,its call angels in the alleyways you need to check it out.

I hear ya, the crowd! This was a high class night club in "62? Maybe they weren't exposed to rock and roll, or thought it was low class? Weird! But Dion was one of the first to break the mold. Def rockin'.

Love your energy man X

The "crowd" are all actors, as this is a clip from a movie, not a real audience from a real show! His real shows always included lots of screaming, some dancing, and lots of applause !! He was the bomb,

Shocking subject matter for 1961

Crowd from a movie?? Looks like an old 60s supper club

It’s a old school music video instead of everyone jumping they sittin still cause they all know who sue is

Hey ADogg! I’m TDawg and you are what’s up. Those BeeGees are what’s up and Sue can kick rocks….

You have the same reaction I had when I first saw this. I’ve never seen anyone sit still and not give this song love while it’s playing.

How are they just sitting there i would have wanted to get up and dance

Diana still with us and performing he lives and I believe is Bronx Brooklyn New York is it is 80s

This is Dion do you need to listen to the wanderer which was out about that time and then Abraham Martin and John which came out like right after John Kennedy was assassinated in incredible incredible song

Probably like 1960 or 1961? Yeah, this whole video is like a slice in time from a completely different era. Rock and roll was VERY new and even how people responded to music and where it was played was very different. Rock and roll really started gaining popularity around 1955 or so with Elvis and Chuck Berry, but with teens. Only teens maybe screamed and danced and acted up back then to good music. So that is like the equivalent of a brand new genre of music to us being invented in 2018! People did not go to "concerts" like today. Music was performed for money in restaurants where they would have live music, comedians or a show. So older people tended to go to them because they were they only ones that could afford to. And anyone not a teen just did not yell and clap during a song because it was actually thought of as rude to a performer. (Kind of like you cannot clap at classical music until it ends) So people would actually sit there and maybe smile, but then clap at the end. It was the way it was from the big band era of the 1930's until maybe like 1964. Hollywood movies were (and still kind of are) like five years behind the times as to how people act, so Dion was in this movie where the makers of the movie really only knew what they knew from before, which is kind of the dinner and show type of venue for any musician. One of the reasons that whole dinner and a show thing died out was modern music does not fit the old big band venue as people do scream and clap and musicians became so big they could actually fill whole concert venues of people just going to see them and dance or scream and hop around. After 1964 and the Beatles, older people were kind of clued in (and Hollywood) that with pop acts like Dion, everyone should be swaying, screaming and going nuts because they saw how teen girls lost their minds on national TV with the Beatles.

I think the next act up was Lawrence Welk, by the looks of that dead crowd! Lol! Some here will have no idea who I'm talking about!

These people were probably considered “squares” back in the day. They didn’t like the young people’s rock and roll. Obviously is a scene from a movie so it would be interesting to see what was going on in the movie while Dion was singing. Dion was a “cool cat”!

The woman in blacks name is Sue. 😂😂😂😂😂

The woman in the black sweater who has the mug on, is because..... Her Name Is SUE!! LOL

LOL, my friend... this is a (white) music production crowd. Dion is a seriously a (way more) hip cat, and still rockin' here in 2023!

Good song

The crowd was locked into 'establishment' reaction. This is why the 60s rebellion happened. You're welcome!

😅I can’t watch these old music videos sitting down! I should take a video of me watching you watch! I was there back in the day!!

Hey Dawg. I am 75 and its just that people were more reserved in their behavior back then. It was the Beatles that changed that.

It was a different generation back then. Each older generation find the one below a bit 'wild'. Now it's out of control today! lol

Older crowd back in that Era disliked Rock n Roll

I was one, lol. First rap song, lol

That's the way audiences were allowed to be. I remember when Elvis was on the edge Sullivan show. He was only shown from the waist up.

The reason that the crowd isn't responding is because they're adults, and not teenagers.

Great song, the crowd was against Rock N ' Roll crazy !! Dion is really good. Great story too. This crowd doesn't like Rock ?

This is a GREAT song from the 60s! Hearing this song always reminds me of a movie from the 90s tho, because it was part of the soundtrack. You gotta watch the movie Little Big League! It's about a teenager that is the grandson of the owner of the Minnesota Twins MLB team. Grandpa dies and leaves the team to his grandson to own. Fun family movie! If you've never seen it, I hope you watch it and enjoy it! As always, love the content Adogg!

Try "The Wanderer" next, please ... it's kind the same story, but twisted! Like: She is "running around", but he is "wandering around" ;-) Dion was a BA! ^+gg

You can appreciate how much less of squares society is 50+ years later. Not saying we can't get a whole lot more free with ourselves, still. STILL waiting on people to be dacing in the streets. I think they do in some middle eastern & african countries. But that's because they just never lost it in the first place.

OMG what's your problem with the croud? Is a scene from movie. 💥😉

Recommend Roy Orbison you’ll love him

It was for recording they weren’t supposed to react. They don’t have the sound mixing they used to
