Del Shannon Runaway

[@926rte22frg]

When this came out I had just bought my first Harley Davidson motorcycle and I had Runaway painted on the side of the front fender. I am 78 now and still ride a Harley Davidson.!!

[@arrrryyy]

I'm 13 years old and I apologize for my generation's music. best comment I have seen in youtube for over a year

[@estelaquinteros7874]

La pucha, descubrí tu comentario hoy. Tenìas 13 años y pedís disculpas....jaja...Tenés razón, la música que no es música es un verdadero insulto a esos artistas. Gracias a Dios escucho a jóvenes de 20 años y mas chicos que prefieren esta música de aquellos años porque tienen contenido y mensaje en sus letras. Por suerte todavía hay esperanza

[@predator0640]

I AM SO GLAD I GREW UP IN THESE TIMES-50'S 60'S 70'S! 82 YEARS OLD NOW AND STILL LOVE THE MUSIC!

[@paulyakaitis3352]

Me too! I grew up with all these great tunes

[@wilburdunn2552]

We had the best music growing up in the 50's and 60's.

[@p.j.4738]

...and 70s!

[@lloydkline1518]

❤️ oldies music 1950s/1960s; /1970s::: greatest music era ever

[@davidbarker5957]

You bet!

[@kiwikeith1000]

I was a young man of 17 years living in Kingsbury Melbourne when Del came out with runaway. I am now 70 years old living in New Zealand and still runaway is my favorite song!! RIP Del you were, and still are the man!!!!

[@pauleypavillion6088]

and these women dancing in this videos are in their 70's. Love to see them re-enact this scene again in 2021.

[@michaeldawson239]

Hope you got to Del’s show in Australia in 1989.

[@StrangerHappened]

Why you had to move? Australia is already good enough place.

[@rebeccaromero5246]

I remember growing up and my mommy listening to all these loving songs I'd like to call music 🎶 my mom is 74 now... I love her so much.

[@mr.blackhawk142]

Too bad 'pop' music is based on CO-DEPENDENCY. "Oh, I CAN'T LIVE without YOU!" Ad nauseum. It helped make us what we are today... addicted SLAVES.

[@rebent1016]

When I was 14 years old ,I ran away with my girl friend at the time up a lake and into the mountains I have the memories of that in my head and heart . It has been with me for over 60 years now . And this song will stay with me for ever..

[@maryelcias7400]

❤

[@rickrick5041]

Did you two ever leave the mountains?

[@ABfromWindsor]

When I first heard Runaway by Del Shannon I was 15 and I loved that song and the other songs which he sang. Was really sad to hear that he took his life. R.I.P.

[@TheHerrUlf]

Indeed

[@TheCherylbo]

This is one of the all time great songs.

[@dominickastelanac03]

Do you still think that 8 years later?😏🎙

[@lloydkline1518]

Great music videos too

[@SuperSwifty59]

This song is so brilliant.. the singing of Del ,the organ and that staccato beat of it timed with Dels voice and his wah wah ,wah wah and his guitar . Never gets old . RIP DEL

[@elois2002]

How sad. He committed suicide at 55.

[@derekllewellyn6663]

@@elois2002 it's looks great I just love it so much it's looks like live in concert with News TV show

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

Nothing today can top this. In fact, not only was music better back then, but so was life.

[@sirtalis69]

Certain songs just transcend the years and different generations, and this is one of those. R.I.P Del. You were a true musical talent!

[@FloridaIndependent]

One of the greatest songs of all time! Hats off to Del Shannon!

[@StephenB58]

God...I love this song. I remember when it first came out. God...I'm old.

[@spedranger]

You're lucky.

[@cjordan36]

I was in Born 1952 in Augusta Ga, best time to be growing up.....

[@raybilverstone2066]

Stephen Williams your body might be old but your brain will always be young and that’s why you will always like this music I’m 65 and I’m young at heart👍👍.

This is one of the greatest songs in rock n roll history. I never get tired of listening to it.

[@alisia413]

omg I can listen to this song endlessly and never get tired of it

[@agua9999]

Юля Крайнова so sad how del ended his life 😔

[@russellcampbell9198]

Юля Крайнова I think this is the song I have listened to the most during my lifetime. Never, ever will tire of it.

[@wirito]

The raspiness of his voice when he sings “I’m-a walking in the rain” is one of my favorite parts of the song

[@stevemcmahon6774]

campbell oo

[@anthonydarmanin]

Loved Del Shannon! Such a phenomenal singer! I have listened to Runaway hundreds and hundreds of times during my life and love it as much today as when I first heard this gem in 1960. What a fabulous era to grow up in the late '50s thru to the mid '60s.

[@touchofgrey5372]

Love this song! Fifty five years later it brings back memories!

[@patriciaoakes8689]

So wish we could go back to our youth,and its music.

[@TheIgmister1]

Possibly the most under-rated falsetto in rock history. What a voice and does it so easily. So may fantastic memories. Rock on.

[@orazioraffermati5303]

R.I.P. Del

[@larsofett]

that riff is so addictive and mesmerizing

[@richardfazakas2470]

This song sure brings back good old rock and roll memories. These were the Best years for R/R

[@claudiakatz-palme9708]

Hello from Berlin, Germany, so great to see and hear them again. Makes me happy😎

[@wilnabester4112]

In my time as n teenager need more of this era great songs❤️

[@Rasmusolofsson]

Im 23, and i really think the music was better 50 years ago. The modern crap they play on the radio daily should be forgotten...forever

[@iPADReporter]

I am 37. Live in Moscow. 2019. Never been part of US culture. Why do I feel nostalgia listening this song?

[@philippedupre779]

[@leebaker2588]

[@drewnogy]

Because you have good taste in music.

[@roadking99jokerst60]

As Lee , Phil, and Drew say it. Music crossed the iron curtain. Glad it fell.

[@bighands69]

Great music has that feeling on people. There are amazing music from the 1600's that still sounds amazing today. Check out this musical piece I am sure you have heard it before. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mITNl56tq7SCd68

[@JesusOnlyWay-d8e]

this song came out in 1961

[@KillingLoneliness55]

I don't remember when and where I first heard this song, but I fell in love with it and it definately is one of mine and my favorite songs

[@wilsonmello8361]

Fabulous! I'm brazilian, love Del Shannon. And 60's american, english and brazilian music. Greetings from São Paulo, Brazil.

[@jamessmith-ow1bf]

Having the cameras down on floor level helps give the feeling you are on the dance floor with them, this gives a very visceral and pleasant feeling like no other oldies videos does.

[@c.d.robinson3090]

love this song! 😁😁😁

[@EraLeeCaldwell]

Still have all my old records ! ! ! Reminds me of growing up in NE Texas and our little old skating rink where we all practically lived.......... GREAT MEMORIES.

[@kentruthseeker]

Simply one of the greatest rock and roll songs ever!

[@MrGatesmark]

Man, does this bring back old memories-one of my favorites from middle school.

[@jmrodas9]

One of those unforgettable songs for us who lived our youth in the sixties of last Century. I liked it very much but could never get the record for one reason or another, but now I can hear it again and remember a lot of my teenage years.

[@joegongora2200]

Perhaps somewhere if you can find a greatest hits CD in a record store. If not you can ask if it's possible to order a CD. Del Shannon's music is worth listening to.

[@dorothyparker100]

Del Shannon was one of the best talents to come out of America in any era. From the little I know he didn't have a high enough opinion of his wonderful talent. Along with his depression and drinking it was probably the reason for his suicide. He died much too soon. He reminds me of the saying, no great man really thinks himself so. Thank you for this great upload.

[@davewade3876]

I had no idea that's what became of Del Shannon. I'm so awfully sad for him (and us) now. 😟

[@craigconley1872]

Love this song.....kinda wish I grew up in the 50s, and 60s, if only for the best music of all time!!

[@chocolatcats]

I lived each day of the 50s and 60s and yes, it was the best and today my radio in my car is one chanel, 50s, 60s ONLY.

'64 I was 7 and singing this tune. SHERRY was earlier and I distinctly remember walking down the block singing SHERRY

[@reginaDeviant]

It's heartening for an oldie like me to read your comments, and there are thousands more of your age who say the same thing. I used to think it was just old age that made me despise today's "music", but when today's youth also has that attitude, then I know that my gut feelings are right- today's music is Z-grade crap. Thankfully, the Internet allows us all to enjoy golden oldies like this:)

[@ru.kiddingme]

Gotta love the dancer in the background from 1:05 to 1:21. She has great moves and she is actually dancing a few rungs up on a shaky ladder or scaffold!

A true Michigan musical icon & yes he was born in ccopersville Michigan amazing talent that truly deserves to be in the Michigan musical hall of fame 🎙🎸

[@elamite66]

A CLASSIC FOR ALL TIME! I remember this as one of the first records I really liked at age 10 and a couple of years later in 1962 I started buying 45s and without anyone knowing at 12 I started taking the EL and subway downtown to Manhattan and finding oldies stores in the Village and the subway station at 6th ave and 42nd st and started buying oldies of which this was one of the first and eventually had many hundreds

[@HurricaneHomer9]

It's sad that in all of his performances he seems so happy but he was combating lifetime depression the whole time.

[@jillrobinson6908]

So sad. I read that the poor boy was teased in school, and that would affect a sensitive musician in the making extremely hard. Rest In Peace, Del! And that goes for Charles.

[@norasalinas2134]

My oldest son used to like this song when he was a little boy. :)))

[@Beachman112]

I'm so glad that I was a real teenager at the time that these recordings were made... All of the hits of the 60's that were made were U.N.M.I.S.T.A.K.E.A.B.L.E and it's a shame that nowadays such music/singers don't live anymore....Great performance Charles!!!!!

[@trudycain9875]

This is animating artist heard this song 43 years ago wasn't born till 71 never got chance to see him play live but wow what a talent missed by his family and his fans

[@MrKaitland]

Tom Petty did his best to bring Del Shannon back in the early to middle 1980's. I saw them both live at a venue in the SFV, Cali. It was a great show, and Tom Petty went out of his way to support Del Shannon.

[@darrellstephen3085]

It was a beautiful day the sun beat down I had the radio on I was driving trees Wind by me and Del were singin little runaway I was flying.

[@dadsongamer2653]

Love the way the girls are dancing around magic momrnts

[@russellcampbell9198]

It's the greatest rock n roll song/performance of all time. I often wonder how many times I have listened to it in my lifetime and how many more times before I shuffle off.

[@auschuck65]

This song was popular just before I went into boot camp in '61. Then came Hats Off To Larry. What a talented artist. I will never tire of his music. Still worth blowing the speakers out anytime it plays!

[@CancionesJosema]

Con esta canción, Del Shannon llegó al nº 1 de las listas americanas y también ocupó el nº 1 de las de Caravana Musical durante cuatro semanas. Es la Serie Dorada nº 156. Es una canción con un ritmo muy marcado por la guitarra. A destacar también el solo de sintetizador en la mitad de la canción. La letra dice: "Según voy caminando me pregunto qué es lo que fue equivocado en nuestro amor, un amor que era tan fuerte. Pienso en las cosas que hemos hecho juntos mientras nuestros corazones eran jóvenes. Estoy caminado bajo la lluvia, las lágrimas caen y siento un gran dolor. Voy deseando que tu estuvieras aquí para terminar con esta pena, y yo me pregunto por qué ella se marchó, me pregunto dónde estará".

[@postpunklover6711]

Honestly, why does everyone _ONLY_ bring up a country's darker moments? All countries have fun. But the better moments of my country's pasts always seem to be over-shadowed & its unfair in many senses when discussing popular culture now, if y ask me.

[@postpunklover6711]

No, not truly. Its about seemingly _EVERYONE_ being oh-so-dark & depressive all of the time, for Christ sakes.
