Dion DiMucci - Cover Songs

So what do they do with it - well converted it it from sensitive folk song to boogie - what else ! Although it has a Dimucci credit i can find very little simularity to the original?

Not being happy with having a bash at Josie the Quo went back and had a poke at the Wanderer- see below

In my view the best cover version of any Dion song. It was covered by a pick up UK folk rock group called the Bunch on the Album Rock On.

The lead vocal is by Richard Thompson . He is belived to have picked up on the song when he was playing in 1967/8 with Fairport Convention at Londons Prog/psyche club - Middle Earth - a turntable favorite there

THE WANDERER is a song written by Earnie Maresca but a big hit for D and covered by many:

performed twice in Concert in 1999 - 1 version is a stand alone Wanderer while the other is paired with That'll be the day - is this Dylan acknowleding his 1st contact with Dion when he turned up to play keyboards for Bobby Vee on the Winter Dance party tour of 1959?

As for the quality its up to Dylans usual grumbling standard!

imposters - different songs - same name

There are 2 or 3 of his demo versions in circulation
