The Wanderer Dion ( BEST QUALITY)
Dion said of The Wanderer :1 At its roots, it s more than meets the eye. The Wanderer is black music filtered through an Italian neighborhood that comes out with an attitude. It s my perception of a lot of songs like I m A Man by Bo Diddley or Hoochie Coochie Man by Muddy Waters. But you know, The Wanderer is really a sad song. A lot of guys don t understand that. Bruce Springsteen was the only guy who accurately expressed what that song was about. It s I roam from town to town and go through life without a care, I m as happy as a clown with my two fists of iron, but I m going In the fifties, you didn t get that dark. It sounds like a lot of fun but it s about going nowhere. Maresca had cowritten Dion s previous, 1 hit, Runaround Sue, but originally intended The Wanderer to be recorded by another group, Nino and the Ebbtides. They passed on it in favour
