NEW 📀 Runaround Sue - Dion -4K- {Stereo} 1961
Музыка
1961-62......#1 U.S. Billboard Hot 100, #11 UK Singles Chart, #1 Canada, #2 Australia, #1 New Zealand.
Spectral Stereo Remix by MixerRog / Original video edited and AI remastered with HQ stereo sound.
"Runaround Sue" is a rock and roll song (in a modified doo-wop style), originally a US No. 1 Hot 100 hit (No. 4 on the Hot R&B chart) for the singer Dion during 1961, after he split with the Belmonts. It was written by Dion with Ernie Maresca, and tells the story of a disloyal lover. The song ranked No. 351 on the Rolling Stone list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
In 2002, Dion was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for "Runaround Sue".
According to Dion, he started to put the song together at an informal party for a friend's birthday, where he started improvising lyrics and encouraged his friends to add doo-wop background harmonies to a clapping rhythm. He then took the idea to his friend, budding songwriter Ernie Maresca, and they developed the tune and lyrics together. Having recently split with the Belmonts, Dion then discovered another vocal group, the Del-Satins, and they rehearsed the song. The co-owner of Laurie Records (Gene Schwartz) liked the song, and it was recorded in summer 1961 at Bell Sound Studios in New York City.
The lyrics are sung from the point of view of a man whose former girlfriend, named Sue, was extremely unfaithful. He warns all potential lovers to avoid her at all costs, as Sue "runs around" with every guy she meets and never settles down with any man in particular. He advises: "now people let me put you wise, Sue goes out with other guys" and suggests that potential suitors should "keep away from Runaround Sue".
Dion stated in his autobiography The Wanderer, that although his wife's name was Susan, "Runaround Sue" had nothing to do with her. Elsewhere he stated that the name Sue was of a girl he had admired from a distance, and that "her name fit the lyric line perfectly." However, during a 1990 interview with his wife on The Oprah Winfrey Show, they presented the story that the song was indeed about her. In the same autobiography, he stated that the inspiration for the song came from the song "Quarter to Three" by Gary U.S. Bonds, which had recently been released.

That was a room of mannequins, I'm sitting at a computer and moving! I love Dion!
This clip is from the 1961 Columbia Pictures movie Twist Around the Clock. Dion also performed "The Wanderer" in the film. "Runaround Sue" was a no. 1 hit in the U.S. It also reached no. 4 on the Hot R&B chart on Billboard. It got to no. 11 in the UK. It was meant to be a Twist follow-up to Bill Haley's 1956 film Rock Around the Clock.
This video kills me … all those people watching sitting stiff and still. Why??? Just a few pats on the table. Smoke those cigarettes.

@@ralphmammah6220 TV sets like these in the early 60s would require a level of calm and decorum, so the answer above does give more than enough insight as to why the smiling crowd, who is obviously enjoying it anyway, is not as lively as a concert audience.

Get your facts correct: Dion : I recorded Runaround Sue with black musicians from the Apollo theater, Buddy Lucas on Sax, Sticks Evans on drums, Panama Francis on percussion, Teacho Wilshire on piano, Milt Hinton on bass, and Mickey “Guitar” Baker. ~ When Hollywood filmed this rendition (the promo film) they used all white actors playing musicians behind me, knowing the film wouldn't get played in the South at that time.
