Lovers Who Wander/Come Go With Me/King Without A Queen/The Twist/Little Diane/Stagger Lee/Shout/ Tonight Tonight/(I Was) Born To Cry/Queen Of The Hop/Sandy/Lost For Sure
Lovers Who Wander was a mixed bag from Dion with new pop hits, rock & roll covers, one self penned track and, this being 1962, an obligatory Twist song. The title track single reached No. 3 in the States with the follow up Little Diane making No. 8. (US:12)
“A better than average early-'60s effort. Besides the oft-anthologized singles Lovers Who Wander, Little Diane, Sandy and (I Was) Born To Cry, it has some hot covers that Dion makes his own. The haunting Lost For Sure, which Dion co-wrote, is one of his best obscure Laurie era tracks.”
“This is one really great Dion album. Five songs made the pop chart. He does a good job on the other five album cuts, four of which happen to be covers of some big hits. My all time favourite Dion LP.”
“Dion is underestimated and doesn't get enough credit for what he did. He's up there with Elvis as far as talent goes.”
“The album is patchy, like most pop albums of the period, but Dion's highly original jazz-inflected vocals are outstanding throughout.”
“Dion had the voice and emotional delivery that set him apart from many singers of his time.”
