      They arrested the neighbor and not the one playing the music. Apparently the cops or one of them knew who was singing. They knew who was singing because they appreciated Del Shannon's music. Perhaps the neighbor became loud and argumentative with the officers. Sometimes things will go the other way.

      Yes he was a good looking guy. One of his greatest hits LP that came out in 1987, entitled Runaway Hits. He's pictured sitting with his guitar and there's pretty girls sitting around him. His managers at Big Top Records told him to lie about his age. So he be in line with the Teen Idols like Fabian, Frankie Avalon, and Ricky Nelson. Del Shannon was older than these guys because Del was in his late 20's. His managers told him to knock off 5 years. It didn't matter Del Shannon was a top star and like Buddy Holly he was also ahead of his time in his music.

    3 or 4 years ago I was hitchhiking up the west coast. It was my first day hitchhiking, I had just camped by a beach in the Malibu area. I was walking up highway 1, it was the summer in the peak of the California drought, but somehow it was raining that morning. No cars were picking me up and I was quickly realizing what a stupid idea it was to try and hitchhike my way around California. For some reason the song "Runaway" popped into my head and I sang it to myself repeatedly as I walked along the highway. I didn't remember who the song was by, and I couldn't believe I knew all the words. It had lodged itself in my subconscious at some point. Eventually I got one ride and then another. Anyway, the song helped me get through a weird day lol.

    • @ronkersey1712
      @ronkersey1712 3 года назад +3

      That raw, roaring full throated voice of his that suddenly shifts into that heavenly falsetto is also a large part of his fantastic trademark vocal dynamic. So wish things had gone differently and that he'd made more fantastic music. "The further adventures of Charles Westover" is one of my favorite albums currently. It is brilliant 1960s psych pop rock at its finest. It deserved to be championed and promoted by his record company at the time but it wasn't and that's the only reason I can see why the album wasn't a hit. it is an incredible piece of work from start to finish

    Del Shannon was huge in the 60s. It's notable that Del also did FROM ME TO YOU, which was written by Paul McCartney and John Lennon before most people in the USA had ever heard of them. There's also RUclips videos of Del doing his songs during the 60s too. He brought something unique and really interesting that wasn't there before he was. You brought us good times and something new. God bless and RIP, Del Shannon.

    One of the greats who never got the respect he deserved.
    His suicide still seems fishy to me.
    He was a firearms enthusiast (or gun nut if you prefer) yet he used a .22 commit suicide.
    If I ever choose to light my own cigar I am taking the biggest gun out of the cabinet and going with it.
    Sure the .22 has killed a lot of guys.
    It has also turned a lot in to vegetables and just left others with nasty facial injuries.
    I just don't see how a guy who know as much as he did chose the smallest gun in his collection for the time where you absolutely only get one shot.
    Whatever happened, wherever you are Del, I hope you are resting in peace.
