The Belmonts are an
American doo-wop group from
the Bronx,
New York, that originated in the mid-1950s. The original group consisted of
Fred Milano,
Angelo D'Aleo, and
Carlo Mastrangelo. They took their name from
Belmont Avenue, the street Milano lived on. There were several stages in their history, including the 1958–1960 period with
Dion DiMucci, when the group was named
Dion and the Belmonts. At this time Mastrangelo sang the bass parts, Milano the second tenor, D'Aleo the falsetto, and DiMucci did lead vocals.
