Hendrix is on the agenda of the pan (music option) with five titles this year including " Purple Haze . It is strongly advised to interpret the songs chosen. In occasions, it sticks to the max at the original, we try a more personal and that is the case of the student Dion that for once balancing a version frankly unrecognizable! "is exactly that, you take different paths, but it goes to the same place," said Hendrix, the day Dion sings the title before him. Not really obvious listening to the song ... Do wop singer originally in the 50's with his Belmonts, he is still revered by some, (Lou Reed is a fan) who think that alone, Dion is proof of the existence of God ... Two singles are placed well the charts and allow the group to integrate the tour "winter dance party" with Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valence. It was while save $ 36 of his airline seat to reach the next town, that it escapes the crash, 2 February 1957, which will cost the lives of Holly & Valencia.
Early 60's, the band split and Dion committed to a solo career, where he will head towards the blues and folk. After a long black hole, he managed to get his heroin addiction and end 68, he released a wonderful disc, "Dion " in which he takes so Hendrix, but also Dylan, Cohen etc.. It is finally reissued on Ace.
