del shannon on sha na na

[@RG-hf4et]

ShaNaNa was the best. I saw them many times live. Always a great show!!.....Del sounds great here!!

[@catanthia]

I watched this show when I was a kid, and it was one of the few things that made me smile!

[@petereuropa]

Del Shannon and Runaway, every time I hear this song it is so fresh and up-to-date. This song is a treasure of songs and will last forever!

[@lenspaulding]

no it wont!

[@vrinda5303]

Yes, it will!

[@ronkersey1712]

A lot of del's songs are timeless greats. He had dozens of fantastic songs throughout his life that deserve more accolades.

[@flyumhighloft]

Love It .....Del Shannon All Time Great !! US AMERICAN GRAFFITI FANS THIS IS # 1 ON THE LP !

[@BillWa]

This beats anything that is out there now. 50s ROCK LIVES FOREVER!

[@BobbyTucker]

I remember in Junior High school singing his songs and all the girls at the dance on Friday nights just went nuts to hear his songs, the guy was good. I'm 72 years old now and this is the first time I heard about him dying, I'm sure he's missed by more than I can count. RIP Del Shannon.

[@ferlenarab]

Del Shannon, what a great talent!

[@allijo514]

Before auto tune crap, we had true, pure vocals like these. Along with some of the best keyboard ever. The guitar and keys at the beginning give me chills every time.

[@deborahdouville3926]

Del was #1 and will always be to me. He was so talented & handsome. Didn't know he wrote "Go to pieces" and gave to Peter & Gordon to record.

[@khronin]

ELO ---Super famous group--one member said and forget who but in an interview he said dels voice was so strong that in a warmup he did not even need to mic up.I think it was jeff lynne

[@kaya8632]

Yes!!!!❤

[@IUFAN417]

I was fortunate enough to see him live in concert once during the early 1980's. One of my guitar teachers played guitar for him during the show. Five octaves under total control is one heck of a vocal feat. Most singers are lucky to have three.

[@lenspaulding]

I have no idea on how or why you could find Sha Na Na entertaining! They are an embarrassment to our great Country. Some of them, after their very brief careers, wound up working in the fast food industry!

[@MaxiSkaTaxi]

lenspaulding youre a fucking,embarrasment

[@reelity]

This lenspaulding character can only dream of being on Sha Na Na. They arent exactly representative of anything real today but the life they DID represent,especially summers in Bensonhurst and Flatbush,with all the doo woppin going on. After 1955,it all came on the radio. You had your girl in the back seat down at Canarsie pier and the radio on low...it just happened in those days. Kids of today will never really know music. Sorry lenspaulding.

[@rogerauclair1670]

One of the few but very welcome times that an artist is actually singing live and not lip synching.

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

He is miming here I'm afraid

[@rogerauclair1670]

@@bonkeydollocks1879 like I said, he’s singing live as this rendition of Runaway sounds quite different to any other version that Del Shannon has done. If he was miming, they would simply have used the original studio recording.

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

Del Shannon was always the greatest in this video he looked fantastic. Any show that he appeared on it was appreciated by his fans. Sha Na Na was glad to have him on their show. Del also spoke like the way the rest of the gang did he knew how to blend in with them.

[@camoensdecervantes4029]

When Del Shannon will be introducing in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? He's deserved, because is a great artist.

hes dead. maybe theyll honor him posthumously

I MISS THESE shows, I was raised on Sha re-runs. Good night sweetheart well its time to go.....Jerry K below ---- SAID IT BEST.

[@gurlsingerfan]

@sportshistorybuff The given reason is a pretty standard one: He suffered from depression. He was actually on something of an upsurge, there was talk of him joining "The Traveling Wilburys: after Roy Orbison's death, and retro rock was on an upswing in the late 1980's. He was 55 years old, a well known difficult and dangerous period for males suffering from depression. Who can ever know why, but R.I.P. Del Shannon, and thank you for one of the great classic songs in the history of rock.

[@joelramosdemoraesjoel5292]

Gosto muito de ouvir está música

[@jessiejames7492]

What I read in the news was that 'no one was interested in his music anymore. He wrote many songs but no company was interested in publishing or recording them. He was very depressed...One of the reasons why he killed himself.

[@ronsandgren1]

He recorded an album right before he died that I bought that had some songs he wrote on it and a few remakes like a song he wrote that Chad & Jeremy recorded on it "I Go To Pieces" that was produced by Jeff Lynne.

[@jessiejames7492]

i love watching their legwork..delicious...!

[@jessiejames7492]

so much talent on that stage!

[@scottrobinson9752]

+jessie james Del was actually on an upward swing in his career. He was tapped to replace Roy Orbison in the Travelling Wilbury's. His remake of Runaway, used in the Crime Story tv show, garnered enough attention to keep him booked with live gigs. Jeff Lynne had produced a few things for him, and that likely would have continued. I've always heard he was very professional and dependable, had a good work ethic. I've also heard he had struggled with depression for years and years. I guess it just finally caught up to him.

[@solesirching73]

It was 20 years ago today (2/8/90) since Del Shannon arrived at rock 'n' roll heaven

del was so much more than runaway check out drop down and get me) &(rock on ) glad you liked it

[@rapman5791]

Produced by Tom Petty. As a matter of fact, it was during the production of that album that Tom noticed Howie Epstein, who at that time was Del’s band leader and right hand man.The Heartbreakers bassist Ron Blair left the band and when Tom was working on the album he realized just how talented Howie was as and made him an offer he couldn’t refuse. The rest is rock and roll history. It is said that Del was none too happy about Tom making off with his right hand man and a riff opened between Tom & Del that cooled off after several years but Tom said in many interviews that he believes it may have played a part in the mental degradation of Del before his death. Either way all 3 men….Tom, Del & Howie are reunited again in that great gig in the sky and I hope they are jamming together again and making the music Gods happy with their talent.

Look up more Sha Na Na videos... and comments... you'll see this was and still is a beloved part of music history. It was goofy, slapstick, innocent and pure in comparison to the smut passing for entertainment now. No auto tune, no cursing, no sexual acts... just simple fun. So YES people did watch this. Including myself. And still do here on KZbin.
