DEL SHANNON- "NEEDLES AND PINS"

[TungstenKid]

Del was big in the days just before British groups took over the pop scene.

He later blew his brains out.

I like Jackie de Shannon's version and The Searcher's version better. But l like Del Shannon singer his songs a lot.

[aggrio]

Have to listen to it like 3 times to get my fix.

[foneBro]

I always wondered how an early 50-s singer managed to do songs like this; and do them well. Pretty amazing when you think about it.

[johnnystaccata]

@foneBro Ahem, he is a sixties singer.

[eurasian1974]

Nice song. I like better than the ramones version. I have the searchers version, but this version is good too.

[lucas07700]

[spacepatrolman]

@Hippie1944 listen to dont you by bobby vee it has that searchers influence

[stanley47]

I think the Searchers did a better version in 1963... but my fave is the version by "Smokie" in 1977... check it out...

[bze2nlz1]

Never knew this was written by Sonny!  Good cover.

[spacepatrolman]

@bze2nlz1 SOUNDS MORE THAN A LITTLE LIKE LITTLE TOWN FLIRT

[068694]

@spacepatrolman Yes you are right , the unmistakable Shannon sound." Hats off to Larry "was my favourite.

[spacepatrolman]

@068694 he ex[pained how he did the little town flirt guitar part in an interview it was really 2 guitars the secound hitting chords on upbeats 2and 4[ they call that back beat chinks] the chinks in needles and pins seem to be covered by the drums

[068694]

@spacepatrolman I like your comments, we are never to old to learn. I was brought up during this era but there is stuff I have been listening to that I have never heard. Just watched The Searchers singing Sea Of The Heartbreak(and your comments!) never heard this before, great version but Gibson was the man. I love all this old stuff.

[spacepatrolman]

@068694 There is a record roy orbison sings don gibson whats going on in here is you can hear records you would have never heard unless you grew up in england records you would have never heard unless you grew up in harlem records you would have never heard unless you grew up in california...
