Asked to interview Dion for a mag piece, maybe 3 years ago. His publicist said Dion would agree only if the story would run within 6 weeks of the interview. So, given my lead time, it wasn’t gonna happen. The guy disappointed me. Too bad. I still love his music, though. /// Great launch of this Substack newsletter. Congrats.
Thanks so much. We didn't do much Dion at Crawdaddy during the '70s as he had faded by then (again) before yet another comeback. Richard Price, another Bronx boy, wanted to interview him but we did memorably fix him up with...Ronnie Spector.
thanks

What about Dion’s classic “Abraham, Martin and Don”?
Was actually "Adelson, McConnell and Don." I just turned around, and they were goons...
Hahaha
Such a beautiful song! Thank you!
