After he left the Belmonts (Angelo D-Aleo, Carlo Mastrangelo and Fred Milano) in 1961 Dion (DiMucci) topped Billboard with "Runaround Sue" (Dion Dimucci - Ernie Maresca). The single ended up on the album of the same name.

Teen idol, singer and actor Leif Garrett's (Nervik) 1978 cover of "Runaround Sue" (Dion DiMucco - Ernest Manesca) included the obvious mistake regarding the composers on the label. The number thirteen single is from Leif's self-titled debut LP consisting of cover songs.
