Dion & the Belmonts's Cigars, Acapella, Candy

Video Tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZtNRzqhYPw

Description: Dion & the Belmonts return to their Bronx roots on the cover of the 1972 album *Cigars, Acapella, Candy*, trading slick Manhattan glamour for the lived-in charm of Arthur Avenue. Amid old neighborhood storefronts and the faint promise of pastry and espresso, you can almost hear the group slipping into street-corner harmonies, as if the session might break out right there on the sidewalk. The image feels like a valentine to doo-wop’s birthplace—part nostalgia, part homecoming, all Bronx soul. Visit this Arthur Ave spot as one of the stops in the MusicRoadTrip.com App.
