      Hi Sky Blue, I agree with you. Who cared as much about the lyrics as much as the vibe and the dancing? And the sound of the organ/musitron.

    "Hats Off To Larry (1961). Was a great hit for Del Shannon. After his other monster hit "Runaway." Which you need to react to. The 60's rabbit Hole is creating a lot of fans on your channel. And fans of the 60's music decade. Always love your take on music. And why you are growing in subscriptions daily. Awesome reaction as always.

    Del Shannon was as big as they come in the 1960s he had a unique voice and falcetto that could match anyone . TRY reacting to RUNAWAAY that was his best known hit . He kept going through the 80s and sadly committed suisde in 1989 .

      The suicide was even sadder by the fact that in the 80s he was making a serious comeback because "Runaway" had been chosen for the M.Mann 60's cop show _Crime Story._

    Very great indeed when Max Crook adds insult to injury with his Musitron. Del's music in a way was paranoid talking about the betrayals and wanting to get even. This song like "Runaway" was also ahead of its time when synthesizers weren't yet a part of Rock Music. Del Shannon was the man that electrified Pop Music because he established that sound.

    These songs back in the early 60s captured the angst of being so young and experiencing things like this story.
    I was thinking that he should be careful if she comes back because she likes to run away, which leads into the other hit Run Away, which actually came out first. Have you reacted to that one yet ? Listen also to Dion doing The Wanderer and Run Around Sue, which are also connected the way these two by Del Shannon are .
