Hi if anyone is still out there...it is 2010 now! but I just wanted to say Dino was born in 1937 and passed away in 1994 of heart attack but he was very ill in the 80s from a brain malformation which he had surgery for. I think Dino was the hottest singer songwriter/performer ever! The fact that is not famous is a consipracy created by those who were jealous of him.
