Yo Frankie!

Most people only remember Dion as the 60's singer with the hits Runaround Sue and The Wanderer. The true Rock 'n' Roll fans may remember that he was the one who escaped death in the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and the Big Bopper because he couldn't afford the $36 fare.

Most people are not familiar with his work from the 80's and 90s. One of my favorite albums was the 1989 album Yo Frankie! It is a very mature piece of work with some outstanding tunes. The songs featured here are Always In The Rain and Written on The Subway Wall with Paul Simon. The entire album is spectacular and well worth your money. You can find it on Amazon for less than 5 bucks. His other 80s-90s-00s albums are also excellent and well worth checking out here.

Here are a couple of songs from the album. Because they're encoded at 192kbps, they're larger-than-usual files. I apologize.
