July 29, 2018 05:00 - 54 minutes - 50.4 MBFounded by legendary Bobby Robinson, the Fury label had to wait only 2 years before it registered a No. 1 smash nationally in "Kansas City," a cover version by Wilbert Harrison who sped up the tempo from Little Willie Littlefield's original back in 1952.

It was Dion's B-side "The Wanderer" which rose to No. 2 nationally that made the Italian-American a Rock and Roll Superstar.
