The Belmonts formed in the Bronx in 1957, originally with Dion DiMucci, Angelo D'Aleo, and Carlo Mastrangelo. They started with street corner performances before signing to Laurie Records in 1958. That same year, their song 'Come On Little Angel' became a hit, built around DiMucci's tenor, D'Aleo's baritone, and Mastrangelo's bass working together.
DiMucci left in 1960 to go solo, and Freddie Milano joined. The group kept recording through the early 1960s, putting out tracks like 'Diddle Dee Dum (What Happens When Your Love Has Gone)' and 'Little Orphan Girl (My Heart Is Your Home)'. They eventually disbanded in 1965.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
