  • American music legend Dion DiMucci became famous at a young age from his time in Dion and the Belmonts, and then for his huge hits 'The Wanderer', 'Runaround Sue', 'A Teenager in Love', 'I Wonder Why', and more. Now a member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, it wasn't always easy for Dion when he was growing up in the Bronx in New York. And, as EWTN's Colm Flynn found out, fame and fortune would take their toll on Dion when he turned to drugs to find happiness. With the help of his faith, Dion says he turned his life around.
    Hosted by Montse Alvarado, EWTN News In Depth welcomes guests in a discussion of current events in the Church, politics, and culture, all through the lens of the Catholic faith.
    This show is about finding out who we are as people and as Catholics, and how we can confidently live our faith in the world. It is produced by EWTN News: www.ewtnnews.com

    One thing I like about Dion was his songs were dark for the time, but he made those darker moments a fun time and made you smile and dance.

    Dion is truly one of the all time greats of the music world!
    He has been performing for EIGHT DECADES, which is probably something that is unique to him only.
    I love what he says in this interview, “a lot of people grow old but they don’t grow up, they remain 13 year olds emotionally”!

    Great to see Dion is still sharp as a tack and in good health. He is one of the very last original Doo Wop guys still alive.

    Your interview brought tears to my eyes Dion. I have been a fan of your music since I was 10 yrs old. Also a New Yorker(Bronx). God Bless you.
    I am recovering from Breast cancer and would not be here if it wasn't for God standing next to me.

    The average person doesn't know what a ICON Dion is! He toured with Buddy Holly, Richie Valens Big Bopper and Waylon Jennings! He released a new album with other stars at 81 and it sounds fantastic!

    Dion is a brilliant performer, so far ahead of his time and underrated.

    Dion is such a shining example of what happens when you put your faith in Our Lord. I love that he has turned his life around and has the one and only partner, his wife, who has stood by him for all these years. I loved him as a performer in my youth and I love him as an example of really good humanity for me to follow.

    But did he know in the 1960s when he wrote Wanderer that 50 years later kids would blast away Super Mutants to that song?😂 Guy made the 50s and 60s cool again by still existing with us today❤

    Fallout 4 introduced many people to his music, bit of a shame he disapproved the usage of The Wanderer in Fallout.
