    THE BELMONTS

    Carnival of Hits

     

    tracks: COME ON LITTLE ANGEL / DON'T GET AROUND MUCH ANYMORE / I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CRY / HAVE YOU HEARD / SEARCHING FOR A NEW LOVE / I NEED SOMEONE / TELL ME WHY / HOW ABOUT ME / THIS LOVE OF MINE / THAT AMERICAN DANCE / I CONFESS / HOMBRE

     

    Due to musical differences between DiMucci and the Belmonts, Dion decided to leave the group. "They wanted to get into their harmony thing, and I wanted to rock and roll," said Dion. (DiMucci was also struggling with a heroin problem at the time.) They continued as "The Belmonts", with Mastrangelo now singing lead. 

     The Belmonts continued to record throughout the 1960s on the Sabina, United Artists, and Dot record labels. The trio had six songs on the US Top 100 between 1961 and 1963. Their greatest, "Tell Me Why", released in May 1961 on the Sabrina (aka Sabina) label, reached No. 18. Other charted songs included, "Don't Get Around Much Anymore", "I Need Someone", and "Come On Little Angel". 

     The group's rare and highly collectible album from this period, "The Belmonts: Carnival of Hits", was released on October 1, 1962, and consisted solely of their Sabina recordings.
