1989 Dion – Yo Frankie
Yo Frankie is an album by the American musician Dion, released in 1989. The album marked a popular comeback for Dion, who had spent much of the 1980s recording Christian music. Lou Reed, who had inducted Dion into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame a couple of months prior to the release of Yo Frankie, was one of the many musicians who made guest appearances on the album.
The album peaked at No. 130 on the Billboard 200. The lead single was “King of the New York Streets”, which peaked at No. 74 on the UK Singles Chart in May 1989. “Written on the Subway Wall”/”Little Star” (featuring Paul Simon) peaked at No. 97 in October 1990.
