i had the pleasure of meeting del shannon when he performed at a place in edwardsville il called the grainerie,,super nice guy,chatted with him for a bit then enjoyed his performance,,,,this clip is a true classic,,,thank you
This is Dels 1965 song,but these are not 60s haircuts or clothes styling.it isnt early 70s coz the sideburns have gone.only guessing now at late 70s or even as late as 80.The cut of Lesleys dress,Johnnys open neck shirt,which doesnt have a rounded lapel.Del did lots of nostalgia stuff afterthe 2nd ,slower take of Runaway.The psychiatrist he saw loaded him, up with whacky pills and killed him.Tragic.
In my humble opinion there were two parts to the 60's...the first when we had 'singers and musicians'...Del, Lesley, Johnny, Gene Pitney, Fleetwoods, Lettermen, Brook Benton, Dinah Washington, Temptations, Jerry Butler, etc...we held each other when we danced...and songs ended in about three minutes. The second was when America began accepting 'yellers and noisicians' who could not sing and who dressed like slobs...thank you for the awesome post!...Tunesmith
YES, this is unexpected and incredible, Thank You for posting, how delicious and rare for those of us who appreciate the gift of the music of all three of these legends of rock and pop music!
5 stars for 3 legendary stars in my book. Thank you for posting....this is an incredibly thrilling treat for those who can appreciate the 60's & all the unbelievable & Historical events that happened during that very unique decade !
Astonishing-who cares about the video quality. Lesley Gore and Johnny Tillotson have flawless phrasing and lyrical voices -they should have recorded together!
I only wish this video was clearer, but one of the most excellent one's, on the harmonies with the voices here, so tragic that Del's no longer with us.
this was an 60's Revival Concert in the 1980.s...

Im thinking by the look of the clothes, this wasn't in the 65. I graduated
in 65 & our clothes & hair didn't look like this.
I do Love this though.....

I wonder how much rare and valuable old footage like this is lost. (or just waiting for someone to stumble across it)
Stored in basements, garages, warehouses, studio back rooms, DJ's and camermen's private libraries.
The mind boggles.
More and more of it is showing up here on YT so maybe we have a hope of seeing some great stuff.
Bless the people who care enough to upload it.
Thanks.
