Saw Del In Manchester in 1965. One of the best performers ever, he had a fantastic stage presence and a wonderful repertoire of songs. R.I.P. Del, you left us far too early.
Del was one of a kind. Beautiful voice, great songwriter, outstanding performer. Everything I've heard about him is that he was a good human being too.
Hats off to Del Shannon, what memories when we were kids at school and into our teens. A good mate of mine had all Del`s records, bet he still plays them!!
When you listen to these beautifully mashed together tracks, you realise what a rare talent this was. Was fortune to meet him (and his famous mohair coat) and hear him live several times - cherished memories. Del Shannon RIP - Rock In Perpetuity!
Back in 1979 I rode my Harley to Texas to visit my sister and her new husband... got caught in a wild thunder storm and waited it out under an overpass. A couple stopped and asked if I needed any help and I said " you have any Del Shannon tapes in the car ? " R.I.P..... one of the best in music history.
Del was wonderful, I hated to hear of his death in 90. It's hard to hear and see all the videos. Think he would have liked how much we appreciated Him and his music. Keep his spirit alive..he h ad a great smile injoying what he did. Rip
Del inspired many songwriters! Today l write and record with Australian artists and dream of just ONE song that comes close to the MAGIC from Del Shannon!
My hero....right from his first '61 UK hit...(when I was 12 years old!!) Del was a truly unique singer & songwriter. It was a privilege to meet him in on one of his early '70's UK tours & his autographed photocard, will always be one of my most treasured possessions..
This is such a beautiful tribute to Del. Makes me happy & wanna cry at the same time. This would have been much better played at his R & R Hall of Fame Induction than those horrible cover versions by other musicians.
Its great that sites like this & Spotify which I have just discovered , are keeping this music alive , as the Radio only plays what,s selected by committees . For your information Del has now three Face Books sites with around 1000 followers , not bad for some left us too early over 25 years +++
He was interviewed by Bob Costas and he seemed to me very focused and down 2earth....humble,no big ego chip on his shoulder....whadda cool 60's player 4sure....imho.
And most of his material post 64 was fantastic too, but wasn't promoted as it should have been. The Further Adventures of Charles Westover is a psychedelic pop masterpiece that now has a kind if cult status fanbase. Great stuff as were his albums done with tom petty and jeff lynne.
I was a pre-teen in the "American Graffiti" era(early '60's). During those years I was caught between loving the '50's - style of Del Shannon and the newly arrived Beatles. I experienced the best of both worlds! It was quite a while after his suicide that I found out he was gone and very sad. What a loss of a great talent.
But even after The Beatles ushered in the sixties kind of sound, Del released a fantastic sixties vibed album called "the further adventures of Charles Westover," Which was unfortunately not promoted by his record company and it didn't sell well, but today it is widely considered a fantastic gem of psychedelic pop from that era. The The vast majority of the songs are written by him and… it sounds like it's cut from the same cloth as The Beach Boys pet sounds, the zombies Odyssey and Oracle, Simon and Garfunkel bridge over troubled water, The Beatles sergeant pepper… ETC.
Del Shannon was often featured on my shows ---: "SOS Sounds of the Sixties" broadcast on KRAI from Craig, Colorado --- 1963 to 1969.........Oh Yeah! Dean Sos ---------------- Sweet memories from the past!
Yep he was great, there is so much anger in the world today, but there will always be love and heartbreak and Del and Roy sang for all those that won and lost in love! Del & Roy were top notch! And masters at what they did!!!
I just found Del's music 2 weeks ago .hes the only one i listen to .i don't listen to Elvis cause I think for every thousand or million views you get money and I don't think his ex wife should get it.they were divorce.
Several say it wasn't suicide because -- they knew him well and he was happy - making more money and was a decided icon in the world then. I think it was an accident. If you have ever been a new gun owner - it doesn't take much to find yourself mishandling the gun. Just saying I think it was a tragic accident.
Seen him in oldham mecca 1977 fukin class i was only 18 got home me dad whare you go last neyt lad told him he said ya little fuker why didnt ya tell me i said didnt no dad 😂😂😂😂 loved him me dad did i was lucky to of seen him 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪☘☘☘☘ true legend dell

Sitting out the Coronavirus virus in the southern Green Mountains. Just me and Del. Remembering sleeping in my homemade shack in PA hills as a kid, listening to an all night rock station. hearing Runaway. A song of truth and love in a time of bubblegum. Who else was singing about teenage runaways then? Del was real.
I remember the first time I heard "Runaway". I stopped what I was doing at the sound of his guitar and his voice! Fan ever since.

Great artist! RIP Dell. You are missed by tens of millions!
Miss Del Shannon no other will ever take his place .....I was a teenager in 1964 .....RIP Dell ....
I was 9 years old in 64’ but still a big fan of his
Hats off to Del Shannon, what memories when we were kids at school and into our teens. A good mate of mine had all Del`s records, bet he still plays them!!
A lovely tribute to a lovely man thanks so much!
When Del Shannon is singing you shut the hell up!
Absolutely! My favorite is him singing “That’s the Way Love Is”
Thanks for this fabulous post! ❤️
Del Shannon music was strong and still going strong his music will never die
His voice never gave out! He was GREAT!
Fabulous compilation of Del’s songs. Well done. Thank you.
R.I.P. Del Shannon
Greatly missed
Del created a sound that will last till the end of time.
I was a teenager back then-love the music!
Del has always been my favorite and these songs bring back the beautiful sounds and memories.Thanks.

Del has his own style of vocalizing his own songs,he is great.
Such a great song bet it holds a lot of memories for a lot of people I bet

Funny. It was as important as gas
Yep no doubt about that I think 2..
I saw Del at East Ham in London I think it was 1963.
Guess who was also on the bill.
Yes it was The Beatles
Nobody better than Del, what a voice, Del rocks my world.
Never to be forgotten.
The great Charles Weedon.
AKA
Del Shannon
Keep rocking Del
Charles Weedon??? Where did you come up with that? His real name was Charles W. Westover.
@@hermanator74301 His name was Charles Weedon Westover.
Did I leave out the Weedon
May have left out the Westover

Wow what memories Del Shannon is one in a million great music, great hits great voice.
Del Shannon will always live on his music will never die.

Awesome stuff there...
All the songs are great. Love it
This is such a beautiful tribute to Del.
Makes me happy & wanna cry at the same time. This would have been much better played at his R & R Hall of Fame Induction than those horrible cover versions by other musicians.
Great follow up to Runaway. Hats Off To Larry & the rest of the hits..
@Faye Enke he was from Coopersville, Michigan near Grand Rapids.
simply awesome no other words needed
you cant beat del shannon great singer and songwriter the best
One of the greatest period...his songs will always be remembered and cherished.
Yup..
You don't see many artists doing tribute nights trying to impersonate Del Shannon.
Why?
Because they can't.
He was unique.
That’s right ❤
Its great that sites like this & Spotify which I have just discovered , are keeping this music alive , as the Radio only plays what,s selected by committees .
For your information Del has now three Face Books sites with around 1000 followers , not bad for some left us too early over 25 years +++
He was interviewed by Bob Costas and he seemed to me very focused and down 2earth....humble,no big ego chip on his shoulder....whadda cool 60's player 4sure....imho.
Best artist hands down
he was one of the finest of that era 61-64.
And most of his material post 64 was fantastic too, but wasn't promoted as it should have been. The Further Adventures of Charles Westover is a psychedelic pop masterpiece that now has a kind if cult status fanbase. Great stuff as were his albums done with tom petty and jeff lynne.
The Traveling Wilburys would have saved him. Just hang on one more week, Del!
his voice is amazing that is rock and roll for me
I love his voice, it s wonderfull

@@michaelheery6303 -- Go AWAY, what are you doing on here? Looking to hurt others who know what lovely music is, and DEL? Such a cruel inhuman troll,
@@cherylegillingwater6500 lucky 45 the pussygrabber did not start a WAR.
@@michaelheery6303 - JEALOUS! MUCH? TROLL! Zero intelligence!
Simply the best. I play his music now days more than Elvis.
Yes, me too, I loved Elvis, but I find myself watching/ listening to DEL, every, single day, Yuma
I just found Del's music 2 weeks ago .hes the only one i listen to .i don't listen to Elvis cause I think for every thousand or million views you get money and I don't think his ex wife should get it.they were divorce.
we realize later, to late that they were bigger and much better... miss del
All Utterly Fantastic!
IMPRESIONANTE MUSICA DE ESA EPOCA, MUCHAS GRACIAS POR COMPARTIRLA. SALUDOS Y QUE DIOS NOS BENDIGA

Feb of 1990
I wrongly or rightly thought he was a victim of Rockola in the latter years, ie ; No pay, No Play, also he was black balled by his managers.
Seen him in oldham mecca 1977 fukin class i was only 18 got home me dad whare you go last neyt lad told him he said ya little fuker why didnt ya tell me i said didnt no dad 😂😂😂😂 loved him me dad did i was lucky to of seen him 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪☘☘☘☘ true legend dell

Great job on this. Would like to know who were in some of the photos.
I supplied a number of those photos so can probably help you
Did he really die? Or just change his name to John Fogarty?

That’s it
Was it ever revealed why he killed himself.? Listening to Runaway reminds me of every Walzer on a fairground I ever sat in❤
Del's success was tuckered by Uk DJ's taking bungs and sex bungs as well.
Del's music efforts survived the slime bags 😂
Way did he killed himself ?
👍🤍🇪🇦🌈
I dont really like the 60s.
He is an exception.
You suck then
He liked the O Cocaine
Your picture just about sums you up
@@frankwoolf I'm a free spirit man
There's nothing wrong with that.
Please don't comment on the legend that was Del Shannon if you don't know anything about the man's life.
@@frankwoolf The guy blew his own head off and was a heavy drug and drink user
You knew him did you.
