(20) DION, THE BELMONTS, BUDDY KNOX and ME at HANSON's DRUGSTORE - NEW YORK CITY

DION DIMUCCI and THE BELMONTS liked to sit with Buddy Knox and me at Hanson's Drug Store, where we goofed off and drank lots of coffee.

They had a hit with "Run Around Sue." After the group broke up in the early 1960's Dion scored a hit with the wonderful tribute to civil rights leaders, with his "Abraham, Martin, and John."
