1951 – June 5, 2002), better known by his stage name <b>Dee Dee Ramone</b>, was an American musician. He was the bassist and a founding member of the <a href="/wiki/Punk_rock" title="Punk rock">punk rock</a> band the <a href="/wiki/Ramones" title="Ramones">Ramones</a>. Throughout the band's existence, he was the most prolific lyricist and composer, writing many of their best-known songs, such as "<a href="/wiki/53rd_%26_3rd" class="mw-redirect" title="53rd & 3rd">53rd & 3rd</a>", "<a href="/wiki/Chinese_Rock" class="mw-redirect" title="Chinese Rock">Chinese Rock</a>", "Commando", "Wart Hog", "<a href="/wiki/Rockaway_Beach_(song)" title="Rockaway Beach (song)">Rockaway Beach</a>", "<a href="/wiki/Poison_Heart" title="Poison Heart">Poison Heart</a>" and "<a href="/wiki/Bonzo_Goes_To_Bitburg" class="mw-redirect" title="Bonzo Goes To Bitburg">Bonzo Goes To Bitburg</a>" (also known as "My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down"). The latter won the New York Music Award for best independent single of the year in 1986, while <i><a href="/wiki/Animal_Boy" title="Animal Boy">Animal Boy</a></i>, which the song is from, won for best album. </p><p>Dee Dee was the band's lead vocalist until original <a href="/wiki/Drummer" title="Drummer">drummer</a> <a href="/wiki/Joey_Ramone" title="Joey Ramone">Joey Ramone</a> took over lead vocalist duties. He was then the band's bassist and songwriter from 1974 until 1989, when he left to pursue <a href="/wiki/Standing_in_the_Spotlight" title="Standing in the Spotlight">a short-lived career</a> in <a href="/wiki/Hip_hop_music" title="Hip hop music">hip hop music</a> under the name <b>Dee Dee King</b>. He soon returned to his punk roots and released three solo albums featuring brand-new songs, many of which were later recorded by the Ramones. He toured the world playing his new songs, Ramones songs and some old favorites in small clubs, and continued to write songs for the Ramones until 1996, when the band retired. </p><p>Dee Dee was addicted to drugs, particularly <a href="/wiki/Heroin" title="Heroin">heroin</a>, for much of his life. He began using drugs as a teenager and continued to use for the majority of his adult life.
