"Runaround Sue" was Dion's first big hit as a solo artist. It topped the U.S. charts in 1961. Dion followed it up with "The Wanderer", about a guy who never settles down, making it a fitting counterpart to "Runaround Sue".

In the liner notes of Dion's box set King Of The New York Streets, he told the "Runaround Sue" origin story: "It came about by partying in a schoolyard. We were jamming, hitting tops of boxes. I gave everyone parts like the horn parts we'd hear in the Apollo Theater and it became a jam that we kept up for 45 minutes. I came up with all kinds of stuff. But when I actually wrote the song and brought it into the studio to record it, well, her name wasn't actually Sue. It was about, you know, some girl who loved to be worshiped but as soon as you want a commitment and express your love for her, she's gone. So the song was a reaction to that kind of woman."

Saw him live in the 80’s with a multi-act show featuring Dion, Dave Edmunds, Graham Parker and Kim Wilson from The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Super fun show!
