Talk:Dion DiMucci

message: Noooo, please don't merge it with the Belmonts.  Dion was a distinct individual and a good person.  He broke away from the Belmonts and made a name for himself.  I'd prefer the page just be developed as is.  Thanks for inviting input!

message: All of his later work appears to be "critically acclaimed" and commercially unsuccessful.  Anyone have citations from notable sources for all of this critical acclaim?  If not, I'm going to go ahead and take them out of the article.  --Vaudedoc (talk) 03:32, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Critically acclaimed"? 

message: I think more is needed on the Yo Frankie album. It received more critical than sales success, but it's roll call - coming after the Hall of Fame induction - in itself justifies a better mention:
- Dave Edmunds
- Bryan Adams
- k.d. lang
- Lou Reed
- Paul Simon
- Patti Smith
- Mark Lennon
- Chuck Leavell
- Jim Horn
Anyone agree on this? --Vvmodel (talk) 16:00, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Many of the references to the Collins Kids type them as rockabilly. I'm not sure how particular folks want to be on this, but rockabilly, while related to rock and roll, is it's own genre much like folk rock or country rock. Arguments could be made that Dion was not specifically rock as he blended do-wop and soul elements into his performances. The whole question is perhaps a nit not worth picking (although I'm certain some will).THX1136 (talk) 12:51, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I would add, on further searching, that it is mentioned - even here on Wikipedia - that they were known for doing children's songs at the outset of their career. Since rock and roll was performed, perhaps, later on it is likely the reason they were not considered RnR when signed. This also would account for the claim about Dion since he was doing RnR oriented music from the start of his career. Just my 2 cents.THX1136 (talk) 01:59, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Yo Frankie 

message: Any critical sources agreeing that the two decade period from 1969 on was a period of "mature" music from Dion?  This appears to be a PoV assessment on the part of a previous editor.  Any sources claiming that this period was marked by music that was not just "different" or "more contemplative" but "evolved," "fully grown," or "worked out fully?"  (Definitions of "mature.")  The article, as it stands, is marked by a laudatory tone in which Dion was first great (because he sold a lot of records and was a star) and then later great (because his work was "mature" and received anonymous "critical acclaim"), even though few were buying the recordings.  So... citations from acknowledged critical sources?  --Vaudedoc (talk) 12:46, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Mature" period? 

message: "the first rock-n-roll artist ever signed to Columbia Records"
Just a simple search will follow one to the names like Collins Kids (strictly rock-n-roll output), Johnny Horton (several rock-n-roll gems), Marty Robbins (a few rock-n-roll singles), not to mention lesser known bands and solo artists signed and recorded for Columbia in 50's. There are 3 CDs on Bear Family Records in That'll Flat...Git It! dedicated to Columbia rockabilly recordings. So I concern the above-mentioned statement "the first ever" as untrue, and deleted it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.80.247.148 (talk) 23:18, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

message: * Support split - Discography takes up more than one quarter of the page, and should be split to a new article entitled Dion DiMucci discography.  Thoughts? --Jax 0677 (talk) 14:41, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dion DiMucci discography 

message: People are going to be very confused. I found a source which correctly stated that Dion and the Belmonts performed "In the Still of the Night" by Cole Porter. A Youtube video correctly states that this is the case. However, Dion by himself performed "In the Still of the Night" by Fred Parris. A Youtube video shows this version although it says "Dion and the Belmonts" in the Google search results below the link itself.
This problem affects several articles.— Vchimpanzee •  talk • contributions •  19:50, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm confused.  Does that affect this article, or other articles... and, if so, which?   Ghmyrtle (talk) 20:19, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: If you can tell me where to post this, that would be nice. The songs' articles are affected, and I checked Dion and the Belmonts which has the wrong information.— Vchimpanzee •  talk • contributions •  20:30, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

text: Dion DiMucci discography only mentions one of the songs. That doesn't help. But unlike Dion and the Belmonts before I fixed it, at least that list had the correct song listed under Dion and the Belmonts.— Vchimpanzee •  talk • contributions •  20:44, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

text: Actually, what if the article I corrected had it right and the list was wrong? If this can be considered a reliable source, I think I'm fine.— Vchimpanzee •  talk • contributions •  20:53, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  In the Still of the Night 

message: This page only describes Dion's story of who was chosen to ride on the fateful 1959 plane crash with Buddy Holly, which is not the story most accepted by historians, or virtually anyone else.  Waylon Jennings, in this interview stated in 1987 that it was he & Tommy Allsup who were given the seats by Buddy initally, and that Waylon willingly gave his seat to the ailing Big Bopper & that Allsup flipped Valens for his seat, and virtually every account of this story echoes his claim, which is exactly as presented in the 1978 Buddy Holly Story movie.  Dion is never mentioned as being a recipient of a plane seat.  I can't find a credible source OTHER than Dion himself that says Dion's account is factual.  I propose that the article be edited to account for this lack of sourcing & also list the accepted account of what really happened.  Just because this is an article about Dion doesn't mean that only his POV should be listed especially since virtually the entire planet (outside of Dion's fans) says Dion's account is not true.PhilMaglassup (talk) 23:07, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Personal life 

message: It might be helpful to give some explanation in the Early Life section about the name he was given.  There are boys who use 'Dion' as a nickname for Dionysius.  And that's a form of the name of the Greek god Dionysus, who is basically the god of wine and partying.
Dionysus is akin to Diana, the complement to Apollo, being Moon & Sun deities, respectively.  Both being siblings.  In more broad terms, Apollo represents Order, with Diana representing Chaos.  Apollo is the god of music.
So for a person who is given the name Dion, it can be helpful to know the deeper Greek roots of this name's meaning.  The ideal would be to learn what his parents' intention was in choosing that name.  And also what his name means to him himself. -- Concord19 (talk) 01:00, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
