6/6. Radio 2's resident rocker Suzi Quatro concludes her survey of six established greats of rock 'n' roll and pop with Dion (DiMucci), who with the Belmonts perfected a late-50s white doo-wop sound (A Teenager in Love and I Wonder Why) before forging a big career as a solo singer (Runaround Sue, The Wanderer, Lovers Who Wander and Ruby Baby).
