  • Del does Crying so well... RIP DEL AND ROY... YOU ARE BOTH MISSED AND LOVED!!

  • SAD SAD  SAD. Then they slip into eternity as loss souls.

    How long will it take to understand NO JESUS...NO LIFE.

  •  It's a difficult task for anyone to cover a Roy Orbison song, but I think this is fantastic version in spite of some of criticism on here. This man and his music are profoundly missed. It gave me chills also cantonadenmark RIP Del Shannon

  • @37gasr Quite sensational.

  • @37gasr His studio version of this is as good as Roy, his was a true talent

  • does anyone know the name of the drummer. He is awesome. Goes well with del.

  • OMG!! What a great verision. Besides Roy, this is the best I've hear from someone we lost two early. Two as a matter of fat--Roy and Del. RIP both of you we miss you. And have anyone noticed what a great drummer is behind him. Great!!

  • Wow! What a wonderful voice! Great songwriter too! Gone too soon! RIP, Del. Loved all your music.

  • Wow! What a wonderful voice! Great songwriter too! Gone too soon! RIP, Del. Loved all your music.

  • Del, Roy, and Gene (Pitney) were absolutely brilliant. The only other ones I have been considering lately have been a small group and some of them are gone too (Marty Robbins, Jerry Reed...)

  • @bobbyfozz agree roy del and gene their voices were u nrivaled also throw in jay black justin beiber and the rest of these clowns cant hold a note much 4 octave range

  • Two losers have no taste

  • Del was the greatest, thank you for posting. His version of this on the Live In England is my favorite of it. Rest In Peace Del.

  • Del Shannon one of the greatest singers,to tackle a Roy orbison song is some feat.

  • Del is the best--he just nailed this song!!!!

  • Honestly and God bless Del but he butchered this song. His timing is off in parts and he simply does have the power and purity Orbison had.

  • Del Shannon is the most under-rated performer of the 60s. He wrote, he played, he sang! He had hits. He is a giant!

  • this song is so deep.....Del has done an awesome remake of Roy's fabulous hit...Cryyyyyinggg.........RIP both of you and thank you for this and all of the happiness you brought us all with ur music ..xoxoxo

  • great cover. you want to see someone ace this song - watch kd lang

  • That was genuine from the heart.

  • Roy orbison and Del Shannon are the 2 best singers ever....they could sing the phone book in Russian and would still leave me with a lump in my throat...2 stunning singers

  • this has me weeping nearly uncontrollably....runaway was the first 45 i ever bought when i was 15...i wore out my copy of the big O;s Crying. There are no words to describe what i felt listening to this.

  • The very best!

  • ,0;42 I like that

  • Del had the most distinctive voice of any singer in the early years and I although his voice has changed slightly this is really stunning. RIP Del

  • I came back to listen to this again Strong Voice best Job of the sone ever all I can say is Why,,Why,,Why,,,

  • tear it up dude

  • ,damn that was feeling

  • how great singer!!! besides, handsome!!!

  • The only person who could really cover Roy on this song!

  • What an even more amazing voice then i thought!

  • What passion!! the look in his eyes, his brilliant voice. come back Del, miss you.

    R I P Never forgotton . xxx

  • Best singer ever........He could sing the phonebook book in russian and Í would still get a huge lump in my throat just by listening to sound of his voice.....go listen to his last album " Rock on"....the only cd I have worn out like a vinyl album

  • look into this guys eyes all i can say

  • 5 stars del omg great ty

  • Thanks for posting this. This great performance by Del Shannon really does Roy Orbison justice.

  • Amazing ! i never seen Del cover this song before its almost as good as Roy

  • Great version of the song. R I P man!!

  • colorado rain which was played on the B-side of one of his top ten hit;s sounds outstanding, no doubt............Del is one of a kind.............God Bless Him

  • Del....Can you here us? Thank you!!

  • roy whis he was dell i dont think so

  • man bether dan roy obison dell i am 19 ant i love your stuf .R.I.P.

  • listen to kd lang..she did a duet with roy, but then performed it solo for many years...and she does it dam good!!

  • seen del about 7-8 times around manchester in the 80s with my mates,always had a good sing along,once seen him at the willows in salford he came to the bar at the end of his act and bought a treble rum,i said to him del me and my mates have seen you loads of times,he shook my hand and asked me my name ,and then said we all must be daft.i loved him and especially him singing crying and the answer to everything

  • very very few singers have the voice much less the balls to attempt to sing this song that Roy O owned (along with every other song he ever sang) Del pulled it off...This guy was a real talent - powerful singer excellent songwriter and as i understand a great live performer...like i said in a previous post i hope the kids will rediscover this guy the way they did the Real Godfather of Rock and Roll Roy Orbison....

  • del and roy had the sweetest voices in all of rock

    its really too bad that they never recorded together

  • amen to that, brother. Two more talented men, who in my opinion sang from their hearts in the literal sense, you won't find, not then, or much less, now.

  • That voice is damned amazing. I was extremely unfortunate I had tickets for his last tour in Australia that was cancelled when Del passed. It's so sad to think I missed him one more time. He is a giant.

  • Can anyone post Del sining live (So Long Baby)? PLEASE

  • That's Just Incredible.

  • Del...you were the best......this clip gives me the chills....

  • @cantonadenmark Me too! Del's voice was so strong, I just had to turn the volume down! I've loved this guy for 50 years and am still in awe of his talent.

  • Good job!

  • i love del,but the range in full voice was not there like roy.

  • Roy's range was unmatchable but Del's cover here has the ring of total authenticity. That counts for a lot.

  • I agree...this voice is just incredible..His album "Rock on" is just about the only CD I have worn totally out like it was vinyl or something....this guy could sing the phone book in russian and I would still get a lump in my throat listening to it

  • Definately the best singer of all time...

    You rock Del!

  • Que buen tema!

  • Heard him perform this live back in the early 80's. So fantastic. You could have heard a pin drop.  He kept his eyes closed the entire time and only opened them at the end of the song. I remember he seemed surprised to find an audience there. Greatly missed.

  • try "that runaway man"

  • your the best del

  • My heart is crying...RIP Del

  • Thanks for putting this up.... great job Del terrific singere and a legendary song...

    Del and Roy were the best

  • grande Del Shanon, "runaway" hasta hoy s eescucha con frecuencia en las radios, incluso el rey elvis, la cantó en uno de sus conciertos, viviras en todos los corazones rockanroleros, saludos de Peru.

  • Un maestro.... en los 60s metió un par de temas buenos acordes a la época, con Runaway y Hats Off to Larry se adelantó.. y en los 80 hizo música muy buena, no entiendo como no trascendió, se lo merecia... Grande Del....

  • Rest in Peace,Del !!!

    May God,bless You !!!

    Thanx,for posting !!!

  • Never before have I heard anyone do justice to a Roy Orbison song.

  • Love you always and truly Del,miss you so so much,caro

  • Saw Del perform this song sometime in the mid 80's. He seemed so down that night, but it didn't stop him from giving a perfect performance. When he sang this, the room got so quiet you could have heard a pin drop. I literally think people stopped breathing. When he sang the last note, the room just burst into applause and everyone was on their feet. It gave me chills....Still does.

  • just had to see you again,love you more each passing day,hurts so much to know your gone,always on my mind and in my heart forever,Love You Del,caro

  • my two favorite singers from that era were Del and Roy.

    Thanks for this

  • This is so grate I can´t say more,Love always Del,caro

  • ♥ AWESOME ♥ I love you even more than I did before... ♥ LUV U DEL ♥

    Forever in my heart

    ♥ ♥ ♥

    ♥ Luv U Roy ♥
