Del Shannon - I Go To Pieces -1989

[@31Alden]

I hope Del knows how greatly we appreciate his music and how greatly he is missed.

[@fuzzyallan]

so true. fuzzy

[@northnsouth6813]

A class act. He offered this to the Searchers whilst on tour in Australia, they turned it down only for Peter & Gordon who heard it in the next dressing room who asked if they could record it, the rest is history.

Never knew he wrote this great tune.

[@TooLooze]

Del Shannon performed at the Special Olympics for free. So many great songs and memories. Thanks for posting.

[@billlong1206]

A true Legend ❤

[@johnmorris7262]

He was the best by far. R.I.P. DEL 🎸

[@davenorth2903]

I saw Del live at the Minnesota state fair in the early 1980s. It was my first date with my lovely wife. May God rest both their souls.

[@williamoxendine6121]

The guy was one of the greats I wish someone would make a movie about his life

[@charliekucharski2079]

I agree. That would be awesome to have a movie about Del.

[@wbueno6970]

Eu tbm gostaria muito.Esse cara merece!!!

[@lindapanknin7822]

Del was a genius..his music will live forever💜

[@harryfollick931]

I really appreciate that very valid comment.

[@WarrenWestmanJr]

My favorite song of all time!!!!

[@richardstubblefield7202]

Wow! I had no idea that Del had written this Peter and Gordon hit. Great version!!

[@NathanPetrie-g2q]

Love it ❤❤❤

[@nickanderson9553]

Sad ending to his life. Great music and great artist. You can almost see the pain in his eyes. RIP Del and thank you for the memories.

[@LesterWalters-oy9xc]

I wish del was still on earth I miss you del

[@bertswitzer1967]

What a great song he wrote and he just kills it with this great performance. Dell must be one of the best rock stars of all time so many great songs on his albums the public is unaware of. You can tell he wrote this song from experience he lived it

[@MARKETMAN6789]

Saw Dell lots of times in the 70s around manchester, always great shows ,i saw him at the bar in the willows, i went over to him and got my air guitar out and started singing the answer to everything to him ,He put his drink down and shook my hand and asked me my name ,,he then said great keep practicing ,i then said me and my mates have seen you loads of times around here ,he laughed and said well you must be f ing mad ,we had a good laugh together and he was such a nice man ,he always gave a great performance every single time I saw him , and sounded great ,miss him loads now I'm 75 ,he is one of the very few acts I would Def leave my bedroom to see if he was still alive.

[@WarrenWestmanJr]

One of the best ever Del deserved much better especially the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame singing and writing contribution sad ending but not forgotten by me and I am sure thousands more

[@bryincda]

What an incredible talent.

[@fuzzyallan]

"I Go to Pieces" is a song written by Del Shannon which became a Top Ten hit for Peter and Gordon on 20 February 1965. Del Shannon had written "I Go to Pieces" for an R&B singer named Lloyd Brown whom Shannon discovered at a Michigan nightclub. Shannon arranged and produced Brown's recording but was unable to find a label interested in releasing the track. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Go_to_Pieces

[@alanosterman7130]

I was just listening to my 30 year old Japanese CD, of Peter and Gordon's songs (20 of em), then this song came on. I was 11 when it came out, but all these feelings started coming out. I had to play it over and over. Such great lyrics. "I'm so lonely, think about her only". Then I ended up here listening to the master's Del's version. Never knew. Thank you. Bless Del.

[@davidoverholt251]

Del in the 60's was a great singer writer of our day! AM radio, reverb in the back seat, 4 track and then 8 track tunes!!!!!!

[@NMRONZ1949]

Del had a wonderful voice!

[@jamesmcmillan9579]

Del is brilliant!! The complete package. Thank you for the music great man. RIP Del.

[@giuseppediraimondo2655]

Ho "scoperto " da poco Del Shannon, una scoperta piacevole, una bella musica pulita col tastierista che tiene bene tutta l'armonia della canzone, un bel rock, sano e accattivante, ne sto facendo una piccola cultura, e oltre alla mitica Runaway, Black is black è fatta veramente bene!!

[@keithandrews3007]

So good. And it’s just as great as it was back in the day. So clear and understand the words awesomeness

thats what i feel back in 1983,when i saw her for the first time......shaky and unable to speak..... ..she never fell the same and we never come together..... but i love this song,forever!

To think less than a year later Del took his life.

[@horseyhorselips3501]

Yes so sad. Many of his songs fits the pains my heart has lived still to this day

[@charlenelarosa3311]

Yes very sad.

[@jaredclawson1813]

Got my own start with this song the next year in 1990. Slowed it down similar to how Dean Dillon did when he recorded it a few years earlier. Accompanied only by my cousin and his piano skills we made magic one afternoon at Rio West Mall in Gallup, N.M. at thr Festival of the Arts. My life was forever changed in a matter of minutes. Thank you Del for so many great songs but espeially this one.

[@tomdiodati5028]

The rumor is that the Traveling Wilburys we’re going to ask Del to replace the late Roy Orbison in the group. It’s a shame we’ll never know.

[@ellenyoung8283]

More than a rumor..

[@Wayne1961able]

It took me me by surprise back in 1990

[@miciastarky4290]

I still remember the day he died, as I had gone to a searchers concert and they did runaway, got in about midnight and heard the sad news on the radio before going to bed

[@rockyscaggs7571]

One of my very favorite songs when the song starts out it feels like the cords are being played from my heart definitely this song messes with the heart great job Dale from Paul Adams Louisville Kentucky Portland area
