Legendary and iconic are two terms that may be overused in the music world, but these and other superlatives have been earned by Dion DiMucci – better known to rock and roll fans simply as Dion.
With a career that has spanned eight decades, Blues Rock Review is thrilled to report that Dion is still vibrant, strong and making great records. He had 39 Top 40 hits in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and to those who may believe he disappeared, we have to say, ‘You haven’t been paying attention.’ Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Dion explored folk, blues, and gospel, earning a Grammy nomination in 1985 and an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989. Between the mid-2000s and 2024, Dion released seven top blues albums (3 of these at No. 1).
