SHELF LIFE

"Runaround Sue" by Dion
I'd listen to Dion sing the Bronx phonebook (or the Boca Raton, if the arrangements were good). Despite the plays and replays, this one never gets old; the magic's in the grooves: his confidence and slyness, the buoyancy of the track, the Del Satins' backing vocals. Pure 1961, what Richard Price so well knows and communicated so convincingly in his debut novel The Wanderers.
