Talking: The Life and Times of Dion DiMucci
With his roots in doo wop, Dion was one of the pioneers of rock'n'roll.
His first hit came in 1957 with No One Knows. He was also a part of Buddy Holly's ill fated Winter Dance Part tour, when sadly Buddy died when his plane crashed on 3 February 1959.
Two of his biggest hits came with Runaround Sue and the Wanderer in 1961.
He has continued to record and perform across the decades and released the album Girlfriends in 2024.
He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989. This was only the fourth year of inductions and shows Dion's stature in the rock'n'roll world.
Recorded live on Facebook, the conversation is always lively and unpredictable.
Author of Rock'n'Roll Unravelled, Derek Shelmerdine in conversation with Liverpool historian Frank Carlyle and Liverpool artist Anthony Brown.
The conversation often moves into completely different areas and is always unpredictable and lively.
This Frank Carlyle Show was recorded live on Facebook, on 22 July 2024.

      I didn't know either. But I did jump out of a plane piloted by Arthur Godfrey. He was a Brigadier General (AF Reserve) and visited Pease AFB NH, in 1970, he was invited to pilot a HC-130, one of six assigned to the 54th ARRS MAC, for delivering Pararescuemen to the field or water. I had a feeling it was Arthur Godfrey at the preflight briefing and confirmed on my headset after we got in the air. I asked the General if he was the Arthur Godfrey of TV and he said, "one and the same" in his gravel voice. He asked who he was speaking to and I introduced myself as Airman 1stClass Arthur Dorrough USAF Pararescue. He said in all his years of piloting he had never had anyone jump from his plane. Shortly after, my teammate and I jumped out at Framingham.

    I've watched a lot of videos about why pete was sacked, and I've come to the conclusion that it was mainly his personality. He was an introvert, and the other three were extroverts. George especially, didn't like the fact that pete didn't talk much and just sat expressionless during their gigs. Ringo had a much more similar personality to the other three, even though he wasn't their first choice for Pete's replacement.

    This is incorrect. Although bass guitarist Billy Hatton was friends with Billy Fury, the Liverpool Four Jays never recorded or played with him.

    You got it wrong from the start. Dick Taylor formed Little Boy and the blue Boys with Jagger first. Mick later brought Keith in the band while Mick also was singing with Alexis Korner. Brian sat in with Alexis Korner and met Mick and Keith. Keith with his Chuck Berry riffs wasn’t up to par for blues yet according to Alexis Korner. Brian got chummy with Keith at that time. Brian asked if Little Boy Blue and the Blues Boys, Dick Taylor, Mick Jagger, keith Richards and Tony Chapman if they would like to join he and Ian Stewart. So really Brian Jones formed The Rolling Stones out of who? Little Boy Blue that’s who. If you haven’t heard the Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys “lost tapes” I suggest you look them up on TH-cam. For anyone who is very familiar with the earliest Stones cover set list, there it is. The Rolling Stones sound and style was already formed before they joined up with Brian and Stu, grant that they all got much better playing together. Brian taught Keith to play much of the blues covers they later played. Before and while they were the Stones they played a lot of Chuck Berry as that’s was Keith’s thing. They also played a lot of Jimmy Reed. Brian got them their first gig at the Crawdaddy, he named them The Rolling Stones after a the Muddy Water’s single which was on the table and when asked over the phone “what’s the band called” at the moment got them their first gig.
