DION performs one of the most iconic songs of the â60s.
At the 1988 Grammy Awards, following Michael Jacksonâs show-stopping performance of "Man in the Mirror," 1989 Inductee Dion closed the show with a surprise rendition of âRunaround Sue.â
Originally a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1961, the song was reportedly improvised years earlier in a Bronx basement, where Dion and his friend Ernie Maresca clapped and sang it to entertain a crowd.
