Dion Francis DiMucci (born July 18, 1939), better known mononymously as Dion, is an American singer-songwriter whose work has incorporated elements of doo-wop, pop oldies music, rock and R&B styles to straight blues .

One of the most popular American rock and roll performers of the pre-British Invasion era

Dion had over a dozen Top 40 hits in the late 1950s and early 60s.

Dion was elected to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1989.

Dion was invited to accompany a special group but decided that he did not want to spend $36 for the flight, as it was the same monthly rent his parents paid for his childhood apartment and he couldn't justify the indulgence.

The plane crashed, killing all on board; Holly, Valens, Richardson, and the pilot Roger Peterson.

Dion and the Belmonts continued on the tour, while Bobby Vee, then an unknown artist, performed in Holly’s place at the very next concert.

Later, Jimmy Clanton, Frankie Avalon, and Fabian were added to replace the other deceased headliners.

Solo stardom: 1960-1964

By the end of 1960, Dion had released his first solo album on Laurie, Alone with Dion, and the single "Lonely Teenager", which rose to No. 12 in the US charts. The name on his solo releases was simply "Dion".

By the end of 1961, Dion had become a major star, touring worldwide and making an appearance in the Columbia Pictures musical film Twist Around the Clock.

Dion along with Bob Dylan, one of only two rock artists featured on the album cover of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in 1967.

Recent work: 1987-2010s

In 1987, Dion agreed to do a concert of his old hits at Radio City Music Hall in New York .
This concert helped free him to celebrate both his past and his future, and led to a series of special appearances, including a fundraiser for homeless medical relief. There he shared the stage with fans such as Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon and Lou Reed, all of whom cited Dion as one of their prime influences.

In 1988, Dion's autobiography (co-authored by Davin Seay) titled The Wanderer: Dion's Story was published. In the following year, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the induction speech being given by Lou Reed.

In 1989, DiMucci returned to rock music with the contemporary album Yo Frankie, which included appearances by Paul Simon, Lou Reed, k.d. lang, Patty Smyth and Bryan Adams.

In 2002, Dion was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame .

In October 2009, Dion performed "The Wanderer" with Paul Simon at the 25th Anniversary Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Concert.
