Del Shannon - Runaway HQ

[@1970geodude]

2024 and this song is still 1000 times better than 95% of the music produced today. Minimal instruments, no autotune, excellent vocals, and unique haunting sound make it a magical song.

Im also 16 and i have Autism/Asperger and i do the same as you. Del Shannon is probably my favourite, But i also listen to other related artists. I feel different because of what i listening to, But im also proud of it and i have been listening to older music my whole life, Before i listened to David Bowie and Elton John but just because i not listening to them in the same way anymore it doesn't mean i don,t like them anymore. In the end of the last year and earlier this year i learned to play Tie a yellow ribbon round the ole oak tree by Tony Orlando and dawn written by L. Russel Brown and Irwin Levine on Piano because that is the instrument i can play pretty good and i also can Runaway and other stuff from artists i explored, i have heard Tie a yellow ribbon since i was younger. I explored pianist Floyd Cramer trough that song and then i explored more and more because it was my brother who thaught me about Del Shannon, Ricky Nelson, Marty Robbins and so on. Then i explored Carl perkins and Glen Campbell and so on. So Del Shannon is my favourite and will probably be for a long time forward, Rest in Piece.

[@andrewmailing6174]

Yep, still listening in almost 2020.

[@supersmallville1980]

Great song. I’m listen in the crazy year of 2020.

Almost 2021 here WUBPOP lol wildrift #mathodmanx2

[@joegongora2200]

Yep, also listening in 2020, just that I discovered Del Shannon in 1974 when I was in High School. He appeared one night on the Midnight Special with Wolfman Jack. You all need to look out for a new CD that's been released recently on Del Shannon. In 1977 he recorded some songs in Dublin, Ireland where the tapes were thought to be lost. The tapes were found and now a CD is being put out. The CD is entitled the Dublin sessions. It's worth looking into. Anything that Del Shannon has recorded is worth listening to.

[@amelmalak5855]

Me too

[@joegongora2200]

Still listening in 2/15/21 because Del Shannon will always be the best. I've heard the song before the Beatles appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show. But I didn't notice Del Shannon until he appeared on the Midnight Special. In 1974 I was in High School and been listening since. That's when he appeared wearing a Cowboy Hat singing Runaway and Hats Off To Larry. I'm 65 Yrs old.

[@fuckTrump-v7j]

I was ninety-two years old when this song first came out. Boy I tell ya, it sure was great still being minimally alive.

[@benjamindavid5681]

+Jacobo Jardón Jacobo - sorry for your loss. This is a great recording. Del mixed in some Spanish chord changes in the Introduction and the Interlude with Apple Pie American music. This made this tune different than any other at its time. .

This song, Be my Baby by the Ronettes, Quarter to Three by Gary US Bonds, Come Go with Me by the Del Vikings (1st integrated group in Rock and Roll), Run Around Sue by Dion and Don't Worry Baby by the Boys in my humble opinion the 6 greatest Rock songs. You wore out your 45 record needle obsessively playing them hundreds of times. I can't imagine what my life would have been like without them and the Beatles.

Runaway Del Shannon As I walk along, I wonder A-what went wrong with our love A love that was so strong And as I still walk on, I think of The things we've done together While our hearts were young I'm a-walkin' in the rain Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain Wishin' you were here by me To end this misery I wonder I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder Why Why, why, why, why, why She ran away And I wonder Where she will stay My little runaway A-run, run, run, run, runaway I'm a-walkin' in the rain Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain Wishin' you were here by me To end this misery And I wonder I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder Why Why, why, why, why, why She ran away And I wonder Where she will stay My little runaway A-run, run, run, run, runaway A-run, run, run, run, runaway A-run, run, run, run, runaway Writer(s): Max Crook, Del Shannon

[@joegongora2200]

Del Shannon (Grand Rapids, Michigan, 30 de dezembro de 1934 - Santa Clarita, Califórnia, 8 de fevereiro de 1990) foi um famoso cantor e compositor norte-americano. Seu nome completo de batismo é Charles Weedon Westover. el começou a tocar guitarra elétrica e a cantar aos 14 anos. Em Coopersville não havia ninguém que pudesse ensiná-lo a tocar, então, durante os finais de semana, frequentava alguns clubes, onde observava guitarristas de bandas country. Já em 1957, entrou para o exército, e durante um evento, em 1958, fez a sua primeira apresentação. Ao deixar o serviço militar, em 59, Del voltou para casa, e arrumou um emprego durante o dia. Mas à noite, em um clube local, tocava guitarra com um amigo pianista, chamado Max Crook. Ollie McLaughlin, um radialista da cidade, ouviu Del cantar e tocar, e o levou para Detroit, onde o apresentou a Harry Balk e Irving Micahnik, da "Talent Artists Management". Desta maneira, Del foi levado à Big Top, uma gravadora especializada em lançar novos talentos. Del Shannon então seguiu para Nova Iorque, onde gravaria inicialmente duas canções. Del estava nervoso durante as gravações, que não chegaram a ser lançadas. De volta ao "Hi-Lo Club", Del e Max Crook tocavam durante uma noite, quando Max fez alguns acordes no piano, na escala Lá menor e Sol. Shannon pediu que tocasse novamente, e nasceu ali a composição que seria o maior êxito de 1961, e que projetaria Del Shannon internacionalmente, a canção "Runaway". No dia seguinte, Del Shannon aproveitou o horário do almoço, em seu trabalho diurno, para escrever a letra de "Runaway", e ainda, no mesmo dia, comporia "Jody". À noite, no clube, Del, Max Crook e os músicos ensaiaram a nova composição, e após tocarem "Runaway", o baterista do conjunto parecia ter idéia do que viria pela frente. Jogou as baquetas para o ar e disse para Max e Del: "Rapazes, que grande música vocês fizeram!" Foi somente uma pequena questão de tempo para que a música fosse apresentada aos diretores da Big Top, e gravada, no início de 1961. O single "Runaway/Jody" chegou a vender 80 mil cópias somente num dia, nos Estados Unidos, e a música subiu rapidamente para o primeiro lugar em todo o país. (...)
