Dion: The Rock and Roll Philosopher

By: Dion DiMucci, Adam Jablin

Narrated by: Dion DiMucci, Adam Jablin

Legendary Rock Hall of Fame innovator shares the most lasting influences on his remarkable life—a life that helped shape the last 60 years of rock and roll history

The book features a prologue by Eric Clapton and a foreword by Paul Simon.

Dion DiMucci's journey through rock and roll history is as legendary as his hits. As the lead singer of Dion and the Belmonts in the late 1950s, Dion captured the heart of America with chart-toppers like "Runaround Sue", "The Wanderer", and "A Teenager in Love." His later solo success with the profound "Abraham, Martin, and John" in 1968 marked another high, contributing to his twelve gold records. 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 alongside icons like the Rolling Stones and Stevie Wonder.

In this compelling collection, Dion shares intimate conversations with close friend Adam Jablin, reflecting on his rise to fame, battles with heroin addiction, a sixty-year marriage, and the influential figures in his music career, including Hank Williams and Bob Dylan.

This book captures not just the life of a music icon, but six decades of rock and roll evolution.

Dion's songs have helped me throughout my life since I first discovered his voice and music growing up in the 80's in the Bronx. They have and always will take me on a trip. Now in my 50's, this book is doing the same. I never downloaded a book in my life and I finished it in 2 days listening in the car and am looking forward to the hard cover. Give it a listen and really listen. Thank you Dion and Adam for this.
