Suzi Quatro's Pioneers ofRock

on BBC Radio 2

6/6. Singer Suzi Quatro pays tribute to the mavericks of rock 'n' roll, profiling both the recognised giants and the unsung heroes. She concludes with Dion (born
Dion DiMucci), the white doo-wop vocalist who with the Belmonts recorded the poignant 1959 classic A Teenager in Love. A huge solo star until the arrival of the Beatles in 1964, Dion remains a key figure from the first pop-rock era with a repertoire that includes Runaround Sue (a US number one), The
Wanderer, Lovers Who Wander,
Ruby Baby, Donna the Prima Donna and the mournful 1968 folk-pop
US hit Abraham, Martin and John.
