"To be inducted into the Hall of Fame has to tell you something about an entertainer. Dion was inducted in 1989. If you have not heard of Dion or listened to him since his early days, prepare for a treat! This CD came out in 1989 and was produced by Dave Edmunds, another great rocker/legend whose best known hit was "I Hear You Knocking".



"Yo Frankie" is a true taste of New York, the home of Dion, whose career spanned for several decades. This CD includes backup vocals from Paul Simon, Lou Reed, Bryan Adams and Patty Smyth.



Out there in videoland, there remains a video performance of "Written on the Subway Walls" and Paul Simon makes a cameo as well as backup. Every once in a while there are videos that I may never see again, but was lucky enough to copy from TV....the long-gone days when VH1 was about music!!



"Gotta Get To You" is an upbeat, steady fast-rhythm song that is so perfect to workout to and I love to hear the song. And the other songs or ballads are equally as great.



If you love Dion or don't know him...get this CD! It is a jewel...every song! - I highly recommend Dion's 3 CD box set for your collection! .. MzRizz



I recommend highly Dion Live in Concert: An excellent, fun live concert"

"A great album that did not get the publicity and attention it deserved. If you can get a copy, grab it. Yo Frankie You won't be disappointed. From the cockiness of "King of the New York Streets" to the rumblings of "Written on the Subway Wall" this is a one of a kind album. Surprise back up artists include Paul Simon, Lou Reed, Bryan Adams, k.d. lang, Patty Smyth and Mark Lennon."
