What a song, still nothing like Del Shannon, even now. But then pop music now is a wasteland, with the likes of Lady GaGa and Justin Bieber, it's just not the same anymore. Trash is all that passes for pop music, a dumbing down of the pop audience.

my favorite song of all time, hands down - the modulation from major to minor is exquisite - the first Synthesizer hit - from the Musitron (modified Clavioline)
Good morning, do you like sixties? Listen and pod cast my program " great sound of 60' s " on the site plumfm. Greeting and made blooper in rock and roll.
Salut, vous aimez les sixties ? Ecoutez et podcatez mon émission "le super son des sixties" sur plum fm. Salut et faites gaffe au rock'n roll.
Who was that Mexican rocker who did a silly MTV video cover in the 1980s? I had recollection that it was in my archive, from those days when music video had a TV outlet...but I lost reference to it.
i want to thank my older brother for his collection of 45's when i was but a pain in the ass younger sister in the 1960's....this song was many of the 45's he had. i constantly asked him to play this song, and teach me the latest dance craze, after seeing them dance on american bandstand...thanks for the memories!!!!!!
I'm 61 and I still rock, and I have lived the evolution of rock. Joey Dee & the Starliters played at one of my eighth-grade's dance-parties in May '62, and I turned 19 at the start of the Summer of Love. And RUNAWAY is all-time tops. The kids would stand around our old record-players just shaking our heads with amazement at the sheer perfection and mystery and newness. When Runaway played at parties, hardly anyone even danced. It was so sacred. For decades, it was voted #1 in radio surveys.
You and your Dad have great taste in music. I'm 59, and I remember hearing this with my Dad in the car when it first came out. You are right about this song being TIMELESS - our children and grand-children will love this song as much as we and our parents did.
6th grade and my teacher let me bring in my transister radio the last few days of school in June 1961. We were basically through but had a couple days left to go before summer vacation. Everyone enjoyed listening to KJR in Seattle, Washington!
All those girls jigging about then are grannies now. We who were teenagers then will never grow old. We were there when Rock was born. The music is still being played now, half a century later . Power to the people who played rock and roll. May it ever be so.
I first heard "Runaway" in 1964, when I happened to wake up in the middle of the night to find it playing on my transistor radio. I had bought "Little Town Flirt," and so was intrigued hear what was obviously Del Shannon's voice singing this eerie, amazing song which I had never heard before that night.
Del really played, but the thing is, he sped the recorded tracks up a 1/4 speed on the release. Listen to live versions as compared to recorded versions.
Heard this song the very 1st time it was played on UK radio - on Radio Luxembourg - whilst listening to my transistor radio under my pillow (so Mum n' Dad couln't hear their young son was jivin' not sleepin'). The next day at school we met each other with the words - "Did you hear it! - Runaway!!?" - the record hit us like a bolt of lightning; the phrase we didn't use then was "blew me away" - but that's what it did. It's still my all-time favourite "Desert-Island disk"
My Grandfather used to listen to American Jazz just after the war had finished on his transistor radio, and ever since then he was interested in it. I'm sure his parents would have had the same concern if they heard him playing it.
@samanthastarr Hey Sam this was a great era for pop songs,you know it may have been the best of all times,from say 60 to 67 there was some great songs wrote.
CatLitterone: I love the youngsters putting their ages on YT...maybe in part saying that though they live now through such rubbish they wish they had lived during the 50's/60's!!!Good for them. I was in 7th grade when this came out in '61 and I love it as much now as I did then....having heard it a "gazillion" times
Unfortunely I was'nt born on the good time of the 50's. But born in critical situation ( Platinum Blonde ) I'm born in 1970. Live was hard here untill 1996. Platinum Blond was also provide by Neil Pearl Rush Drummer if I'm wrong... But listen to '' It does'nt really matter '' on their first album.
why do all teenagers have the desire to post their age up on youtube? the music itself transcends age... this music, unlike rap, is as indelible and memorable as mozart and beethoven. it will live forever.
Not 'all' teenagers post their age in comments!? And in the case of this video, they'd only be referring to the fact that the music today, as you say, 'transends' it's age and is still just as great for them as it was for the generation back in the 60's. This is not a bad thing!
This used to be played at Wigan Casino. I was sipping hot gluhwein up on the piste in a Ski Chalet in Austria at 9am, the morning Del Shannon's death was announced on the radio news, followed by a play of Runnaway. Memories of this great song and Wigan Casino stayed in my head all day as I was skiing. When I hear this now, I always remember that sad morning and the wonderful powder snow we had that day.
dear bubthunder...slight correction: for those of us lucky enough to have lived during Del's prime years he will never be forgotten AT ALL, even for a micro-second!!!!
Del is a somewhat forgotten legend. This song is a tremendous blend of styles from the old days, the doo wop with a blend of country, maybe set up that why by the industry, but still perfect for its time. I love this song, and I love Del, and I play this song enough loving Motown sound and the white interpretation of the Motown sound, which is a difficult sell since Motown was mostly white-written.
Love all the old Doo Wop. Del is too often forgotten.
Back in the sixties DEl Shannon had an album out where he did Hank Williams greatest hits, if anybody has those songs can you please put them on here , I lost that albun when i was a kid and it brings back a lot of memories,really would appreciate it.
The key board player is playing an electric organ called a musitron. The keyboard players name is Max Crook. Max was also a cowriter of this legendary song. This is probably one of the best examples of early 60's rock and roll. Del was one of the best.
This is my all time favourite song(since the moment I first heard it in 1961 when I was five)nothing has ever replaced it. I'm even going to have it played at my funeral.(Hopefully that's in the distant future !!)
i am 15 years old and when i was younger my dad and me used to listen to all oldies , unlike crap these days , my dad introduced me to this music and now i love it
I can't imagine anyone who knows and loves music from the 50-60's not including this on any TopTen songs of all time! "Duke of Earl" "Runaround Sue" "Stand by Me"?? Too, too many absolute treasures to count. How lucky those of us were who grew up to this music!!!!!
del(charles)was from the g.r.mi area.this was recorded in jackson-mi in a nightclub.detroit had nothing to do with this wonder----detroit was a shit hole that could have never been included in the rest of the state!those of us from the smaller cities always think of "det" as there city and the rest of michigan doesn't want to know.tks billl
i heart this song when im was a lilte boy , and love it but not rememver the name ,only rememver the lyrics say "wanted" so i serche this part of the lyrics in google i never fund the song because the song say "wonder".
I was a high school senior in 1973 when American Graffiti came out and this song was on the album. At that time everyone was saying how "retro" is was and there would be no interest. ROTFL!!! It was a major hit then and it keeps on going now!!! Thanks!!!
I'm totally consent to SUPERCHICKENPIE. best music ever! This kind of music will never be again exist in todays & future times...So sad that del shot himself...

@stevieod You said it all. The worn little saying "There's nothing new under the sun" applies to it all today.
Don Henley's "Garden of Allah" has a line in it about "notoriety getting all confused with fame", and it fits.
Hopefully, the Bieb and Ga(g) Ga(g) will dissipate like a nasty fart under the attic fan of Time. Even Vanilla
Ice dissed the Bieb and said that his fame will be short-lived. I hope so. The real things missing nowadays are talent and originality.

A song so good that it's often taken for granted. Not so in1961- No.1 for 5 weeks. Former carpet salesman from Mich.makes good.

Actually it was 3 weeks from july 1st - july 22nd knocked off by the everly brothers with temptation

Billboard has it No. 1 for 5 wks. in USA. Ratings certainly can differ in other localities. Temptation doesn't rate highly here at all.

if you guys like Del and Max Crook, check out the TORNADOS, one of the best clavoline-based instrumental groups in the early 60's.

I was a high school senior in 1973 when American Graffiti came out and this song was on the album. At that time everyone was saying how "retro" is was and there would be no interest. ROTFL!!! It was a major hit then and it keeps on going now!!! Thanks!!!
