Doo-wop and rock ‘n’ roll great Dion DiMucci has released a brand new song called “An American Hero.” Dion’s biggest and best known hits include “Runaround Sue” and “The Wanderer,” both from 1961. He scored a number 1 on the RadiJohan Top 10 in 2020 with “song For Sam Cooke” which featured Paul simon. Dion repeated the feat in 2022 when he topped our chart with “Dancing Girl” which featured Mark Knopfler.
Dion’s latest release is a duet which features veteran country star Carlene Carter (daughter of June Carter-Cash). Dion said in a press release:
“Basically, it’s a song about the ordinary person being a hero and championing the cause of the people around them. You don’t have to look at cable news or online and don’t look to politicians to save you. Look into your own heart and be a hero to the ten people you affect in your life the most. Patriotism really isn’t about politics; we’re all Americans, so values and character are what matter most.”
“An American Hero,” by Dion with Carlene Carter, is new this week on RadiJohan.
