After an unsuccessful first single, the group were signed to Laurie Records. Their breakthrough came when "I Wonder Why" made # 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and the group appeared for the first time on the Dick Clark TV show. They followed it with the ballads "No One Knows" (#19) and "Don't Pity Me" (#40).
This success won Dion and the Belmonts their first major tour in late 1958, with The Coasters, Buddy Holly and Bobby Darin, and this was followed up by the "Winter Dance Party" tour with Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper. On 2 February 1959, after playing at Clear Lake, Iowa, Dion decided that he could not afford the $36 cost of a flight to the next venue. The plane crashed, and Holly and the other stars were killed. However, the tour continued, with Jimmy Clanton and Bobby Vee being added to the bill.
In March 1959, Dion and the Belmonts’ next single, "A Teenager in Love", was released, making #5 in the Billboard Hot 100 and #28 in the UK Singles Chart, and this was followed by an album, Presenting Dion and the Belmonts. Their biggest hit, "Where or When", was released in November 1959, and reached #3 on the U.S. chart.
However, in early 1960, Dion checked in to hospital for heroin addiction, a problem he had had since his mid-teens. Further single releases for the group that year were less successful, there were musical and financial disputes between Dion and members of the Belmonts, and in October 1960 Dion decided to quit for a solo career. The Belmonts also continued to release records, but with less success.
Dion and the Belmonts reunited in 1966 for the unsuccessful album Together Again on ABC Records, and again in 1972 for a one-off show at Madison Square Garden, recorded and released as a live album.
Come Go With Me
Dion & The Belmonts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Doesn't take much these days to bring one down
One wrong move and we all fall down
So many moves have been made, now it all falls down
No, you didn't do anything
You only did everything
If you wanna see
No, you didn't do anything
You only did everything
If you wanna see
Come with me
Gonna pour myself the universe
I'd be stupid to think I could take it
I'd be stupid not to try
Find my way through the fallacy
I'd be smart to think to break it
I'd be stupid to question why
No, you didn't do anything
You only did everything
If you wanna see
Come with me
No, you didn't do anything
You only did everything
If you wanna see
Come with me
What I've seen, is what you've seen
Though it seems, it's a different thing
You explain it to me, I explain it to you
But we never move on no matter what we bring
No, you didn't do anything
You only did everything
If you wanna see
Come with me
No, you didn't do anything
You only did everything
If you wanna see
Come with me
One wrong move
Find my way
Though it seems
We never move on
Come, come with me
Come, come with me
Come, come with me
Never move on
Come with me
The lyrics of Dion & The Belmonts’s song Come Go with Me explore themes of consequences and accountability. The first verse reflects the idea of how making a single wrong decision can cause everything to fall apart. The lines “Walking that fine line so far down/ Doesn't take much these days to bring one down/ One wrong move and we all fall down/ So many moves have been made, now it all falls down” convey the fragility of life and how easily things can turn dark.
The second verse touches on the idea of taking risks and venturing into the unknown. The lyrics “Gonna pour myself the universe/ I'd be stupid to think I could take it/ I'd be stupid not to try” indicate the desire to take a leap of faith. The line “Find my way through the fallacy/ I'd be smart to think to break it” portrays the idea that one should find a way to overcome their fears and find the truth.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea of accountability. The lyrics “No, you didn't do anything/ You only did everything/ If you wanna see/ Come with me” suggest that one needs to realize and accept their mistakes to be able to move ahead in life. The phrase “You explain it to me, I explain it to you/ But we never move on no matter what we bring,” in the third verse, signifies the need for communication and understanding to achieve closure. The song culminates with the line “Never move on/Come with me,” implying that sometimes it takes another person’s support to move on from past mistakes.

I really can’t get over this channel. This song makes me think of a picture perfect drive in movie date night or an old diner that you’ve never been to but just feels like home and serves the best shakes in town

This is a GREAT remake of the Del Vikings' original. Dion was (and is still) great both for his original records and his remakes. REAL rock 'n' roll!

Dion is my favorite singer. The only song he hasn't done better than someone else is, dream lover by Bobby Darin
