The Belmonts

  • Soundtrack
IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
The Belmonts were a "doo-wop" group that formed in the Bronx, New York, in the 1950s. It was named after the street several of its member lived on, Belmont Avenue. The original members were Dion DiMucci, Carlo Mastrangelo, Freddie Millano and Angelo D'Aleo.

The group had recorded several songs for Mohawk Records, which went nowhere. They left Mohawk for a newly formed label, Laurie Records. Their first record for Laurie, "I Wonder Why", was released in 1958 and became an instant hit. They continued with a string of hits, including "No One Knows", "A Teenager in Love" and "Where or When".

In 1961 DiMucci left the group for a solo career. The Belmonts continued on without him, and recorded into the 1960s, having several modest hits. The group continued recording, with many personnel changes, well into the 1990s, and even had several reunion concerts and albums with DiMucci, although he never officially rejoined the group.

    • Trivia
      Three of the group's members belonged to two rival Bronx street gangs. Dion DiMucci was a member of the Fordham Daggers. He had submitted some demo records he had recorded to a producer, who was impressed enough but told him that he would need a backup group in order to get a contract. The two best street singers DiMucci knew were Freddie Millano and Carlo Mastrangelo, who belonged to a rival gang, the Imperial Hoods. The three decided to make peace and, with Angelo D'Aleo--who did not belong to a gang--formed The Belmonts.
