Crime Story - Del Shannon Runaway (Music Video)

[eahazell]

this show was so fucking bgeat I wonder how much better it would have been on HBO or showtime with teh same cast.. so many great actors came out of this show . Dave Caruso looks like a kid

[eahazell]

and no Miranda rights

[sirronald69]

[namikejohnson]

I bought this series the other day.

[penelopep56]

[greenbeaverfilms]

This is not the official video from the show. The editing is awful.

[edflemi]

La hostoria del crimen; serie transmitida en la television en la decada de los ´70, protagonizada por DENNIS FARINNA... la cancion de fondo es RUN AWAY del rockero SHANNON...

[zx6rtt]

i WAA-WAA-WAA-WAA WANDER

why?

WHA-WHA-WHA-WHA WHY

haha awesome

[miraamoreto]

bože kako me ova pesma podseća na detinjstvo. kad sam sa svojim tatom u svom stanu gledala kriminalističke priče....sad više nema uspomena, samo surova realnost i glupe serije. oooooo.........

[javcrc1]

I remember when this show came out I was like 10 and my parents wouldn't let me watch it. They said it was too violent lmao!!! love this theme, it's perfect for karaoke!!!

[LeonSam87]

1:29 Unbreakable glass LOL

[toofakemelody]

@LeonSam87

yes the glass doesn't smash when Anthony Sarrero (Ray Luca) fires a shot to the back of his car

[Medic83301]

@toofakemelody No , Ray Luca was Anthony " Tony" Dennison , now of The Closer on TNT .

[MrSsgra]

good old stuf.....

[Chelseaboy1803]

i once went to thorpe park (in england) and heard this song over the speakers. i searched for this song for 2 years after that and the only thing i could use to help me search was the "I waaa waaa waaa waaa wonder." It felt so good to finally find it!

[DelBluenose80]

@Chelseaboy1803 I dont believe in 2 years you didnt ask anyone who didnt know that chorus line!

Simply dont believe it!

LOL :-)

[therealjoebloggs]

Anthony John Denison, one of the grizzled old cops on The Closer, as a much younger man(late 30's about), playing Ray Luca, a character based roughly on Tony Spilotro(the Joe Pesci character in Casino under a different name for legal reasons). US Marshal Michael Torrello(Dennis Farina), whom chg657 digs, had a vendetta against Luca from their time as Chicago robbery squad cop vs petty thief. Now it gets to play out in Las Vegas years later.

[MultiSamema]

greatest rock and roll song of all time short and sweet

[alejandrito600]

Te bedigo attery..... No sabes como sufri para encontrar esto y como dato curioso es el unico recuerdo que tengo de mi padre quien murio cuando yo era muy niña y solo recuerdo que a las 9:30 de la noche que llegaba de trabajar se sentaba en el sillon a ver su serie favotita y esta maravillosa cancion de fondo que empezaba a sonar jamas he vuelto a ver ningun episodio en repeticion me me imagino que por lo vieja que es; MIL GRACIAS POR ESTE REGALO TAN MARAVILLOSO

[ameyremo]

@alejandrito600 fijate porque hasta hace poco la pasaban, creo que en TCM y verla ahora se siente igual de apasionante que entonces!! saludos

[MrRocktilludrop3]

memories of American Rock at its best Nothing like 50s Rock-n-Roll, thats where it all started !

[geversonsr]

I remember this show...wasn't on very long

[chg657]

I dunno what I liked best about it-The women, the cars, the music, or the fact that all the guys who played in it were UGLY-or at least looked like REAL people....They REALLY had the "1963-64" thing down pat...

[WithoutRemorse12]

NBC forget The Playboy club, REMAKE CRIMESTORY

[Avaldivia74]

I sitll remember this show!!! One of my best when i was a kid.

[jumbybird]

Things would have so much simpler if Dennis Farina had put the bullet into Ray Luca's head instead of the ground!

[kissingcandy1]

my mum loved this!!!

[mistasmif31]

i use to love this show & song when like 10 or 12 years old but never knew who song this do anybody know where i can get season 1 & 2 of crime story at

[MacGrurry]

Criiiiiime Story

[terryandross]

great video i like, congratuations my friend greetings from mexico

[cnadeau71]

Ray Luca was one bad summitch.

[60camarochick]

@cnadeau71 he was "eye candy" too ;)

[overlookNW237]

brilliant music



[timbo92580]

This would be on every night of the week on USA when I was a kid, or maybe it was every Tuesday, but I remember getting a double feature of this with my dad, and then we'd watch Tuesday NIght Fights afterward, back when boxing was legit. Thumbs up if awesome memories of your dad can still make you drop a tear :)

[Esuper1]

yep... my favorite show as well, the damn thing was just hipnotic with all those characters

[wwwjokeromaniacom]

one of my favorite series

[peacelovebeatles]

:O

[ingpetkovic]

I am not a fan of american style movie production, but this was legendary show, great, great series.

[ADYORO]

y donde la puedo volver a ver? alguien sabe

[Classicguy66]

This was before the Sopranos, Goodfellows, and. I remember first seen the pilot of this show back in September of 1986. I was move by this show and it became one of my favorite TV Shows. As a matter of fact, the guy who played Tony Soprano's dad, played a lawyer on this show.

[belichsale]

Those were the times,when cars were cars,men were men,and women had real tits!

[sr71ablackbird]

@belichsale now, these days, cars are junk, men are women and women are either silicone or saline.

[MaxFKlaus]

@belichsale - good!

spasibo - from russia!

[bingbang3214]

@belichsale yeah but the sad flaw of those days is that women werent in their place then either.

[bingbang3214]

@belichsale yeah but the one flaw of those days is that women didnt know their place then either.

[Medic83301]

@belichsale And you didn't have the right to remain silent ! Cops would beat the crap out of you to get a confession .

[mediafresa]

13 people were little runaways

[fabesify]

i recall this show when i was young. and i also remembered my old man getting pissed that the show was canceled i believe. it was on nbc i think. great memories...

[michamechudo]

I was about 10, I think, and we would watch this show together as a family. First time I heard "Runaway" was thanks to "Crime Story" and fell in love with it. One of.the best tv series ever.

[penelopep56]

i wasn't 10 - a little older than that -same story though

[TheEldoradoKid]

BADDA BING BADDA BOOM! Hey,... just the guy's hair is scary enough for me! Man what a pomp! full fenders and everything... And what a great car chase scene with all those fat-assed Caddys and Chryslers. This was a great show that captured the "Goodfellows" era of the early sixties perfectly..Then of course Del on pipes, caps it off!

[blue81357]

Brilliant Performance :-))))

[dandydon777]

one of the greatest tv series of all time

[TheChuck624]

This was a great show.

[PHOENIXOFASH]

2:02 just epic :D

[73Calirobo]

Great show, I was it was available on dvd

[castcutie]

the best ever...cars, chicks, story, crime, music....what should I say

[rossimanuchi]

No me perdí ni un capítulo de la serie, a mis 17 años era una de mis series favoritas. Después de "El padrino" y la película de "Los intocables".....

[hamzah938]

Thats how I want to leave this world....Guns blazing, out on the Las Vegas Strip after having "hit" the Casino for a grip of CASH! Cash me out, bi-otch!~

[PaskudaKasia]

oj jak ja sie kochałam w Luce, kocham tą piosenke:P

[SyrupableSweetMaple]

though its my favorite song he was a little flat near the 2min mark when he said why compared to the original

[SyrupableSweetMaple]

I'm 15 and this is my favorite song!

[bingbang3214]

@SyrupableSweetMaple does that make you feel unique and special? Why do you teens always have to stamp your age in when you like a song thats before your time? Self centered piece of shit. I bet theres fucking 5 year olds in the world who like this song. So no, you're not the youngest person in the world to like this song. Sorry to burst your uniqueness bubble. I love you.

[MVillani1985]

@bingbang3214 I actually see 20 and 30 somethings, sometimes even 40 somethings, post their age when talking about oldies music. Reason being that a lot of older folks say "young people don't appreciate music anymore" and they want to prove them wrong, as if to say "Not all young people like stuff like Fifty Cents (or whoever's popular today)". I know it can get old after awhile, but you're not the first person to go on a hate-filled rant about it, so you're not exactly being unique either.

[bingbang3214]

@MVillani1985 lol fifty cents. Humor aside, you make a very very good point.

[pinkandjefflynne]

This song/programme would turn anyone into crime fucking awesome

[EFFIsAFraud]

Along w/ Tour Of Duty this is one of the best shows ever on TV

[alexkaraliotas2475]

i watched this in greece when i was a kid,great series!

[GGUBoss]

This was one of the many response shows to Miami Vice, and one of only two (the other was Wiseguy) that were actually worth a tinker's damn.

[LAfan818]

damn looks like a bad ass show!

[berwcik]

wspaniała piosenka i równie w spaniały serjsl

[frezero100]

mi mejor serie de tv. cuando vivia en mexico la #1 the best

[390merc65]

best dam tv show in the last 30 years...next to all in the family.....todays tv really sucks

[superplumb4]

recorded as a one off for the pilot showing of CRIME STORY INCLUDING A LIVE PERFORMANCE IN RAY LUCAS CLUB and a cameo appearance of del as a policeman at the very end of first episode. this must be one of the most under rated police dramas on tv, i can remember staying up to watch it when it was first shown on channel four on uk tv. i believe there is a soundtrack of the series which has a version of RUNAWAY and all the other great tracks as well.

[Comedyteamz]

Where did you get this version? Everytime a listen to this song on other vids Del Shannon always sounds a little different. Which album is this song on with this version?

[ponevilai1980]

Si la verdad que me hace recordad muchos viejos momentos de mi infancia

[bQ2DFCd]

Ciekawy fim, a piosenka?. super.

[emilestalker]

Похож на МАКСА ПЭЙНА из 1 ЧАСТИ

[55102]

good police serie

[tmrezende]

Como gosto desta musica me faz lembrar dias que não vão voltar nunca mais...

[SuperKarend]

this guy looks like he fell out of saturday night fever

[1LoWu]

1 of the Greatest TVshows i ever watch!

[RichStark412]

Such a great show, Farina was so badass! Killer soundtrack! Awesome cars, the Vegas scenes epic! A Micheal Mann masterpiece!

[corvettels9]

I wonder how many times they said the name "Ray Luca" in this show. haha

[TheDutch1949]

loved the series and the new version of runaway used in it

[Cyberella1000]

Del I really wish you hadn't taken your life. You were the greatest. R.I.P.

[bolchevik79]

11 people have no concept of taste.

[moojoa]

remember watching this series in South Africa - it was dubbed into Afrikaans :) It was followed by Tour of Duty (Sending Vietnam) on Friday evenings. Many years ago !

[BubbaGanoush2]

One of the best shows of all time. It was HBO-style before HBO even did stuff like this. Luca was the coolest and baddest villain on TV, for sure.

[ronniemybaby]

One of the best video's on youtube. But then again this was my favorite show and Tony Denison was incredible as Ray Luca!!!! What a babe!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jackvermillian]

Ray Luca was the best bad guy- badass ever.

[qwasi25]

great music, great film

[Llaryhi]

oh! you should have used the version Del Shannon recorded of Runaway for this video. Oh well, I love this show.

[martbook]

@Llaryhi This is Del Shannon and it is the version used as the theme song for this TV show.

[Llaryhi]

@martbook :-) I know it's Del Shannon, and you're probably right, it might be a "newer" recording, but the one they used in the Show has different lyrics and background singers :-) Example: instead of "wishing you were here with me, to end this misery..." as in this recording, the TV version said something like: "watching all the plains/things/ (?) go by, some live and others die"

Anyway....I love the video, it doesn't really matter which recording it is. :-)

[Marcin00ful]

great,thanks for the insertion of the film :)

[lukstarfucker]

The bad guy is named Ray Luca and the good guy is named Mike Torello (Denis Farina) Very brilliant series!

[sparky0018]

Great show. There hasn't been anything half as good as Crime Story.

I got the DVD set at BestBuy when it was released a few years back. The show lasted just 2 seasons. From 1985 - 1987. Whoever decided to take it off the air was a real moron. Wish they would run the show again on cable.

[PWSweetbanana]

Gott! i am a young Girl .. i am Crazy with this Film TV series Crime Story haha..Thailand must wait about 0:00 am for can look .. is not children film .. but i can wait for my mom and my dad sleep..haha.love it ;) Love this man Dennis Farina so Handsome man ;) thank u for this Video and song all best!!!

[oldhippie900]

I loved that show but forgot what years that it was on?

[stilrockin2010]

I remember back in the days when the mob ran Vegas and women and children were safe day or night and there was no crime because the bosses wanted it that way. Today: Big business has moved in and ain't nothing safe. All the CEO's and stockholders are concerned with is the bottom line: Hell! Anymore, it's just another big city with a high crime rate and nobody gives a damn. Vegas used to be a cool place to live....not anymore.

[vintagechica82]

I'm sure this series will be rereleased on a DVD box set, if it hasn't already.

[upperdarbybill]

@vintagechica82 I know it was on VHS in 1994. I rented it one weekend. It was on 2 cassettes but I forgot how many episodes but there were more than I thought. This show had it all, acting, action, music and Michael Mann. It also had a Nit-Wit @ NBC. Has to be it. From the beginning this masterpiece was not in a FIXED time slot I don't think its entire doomed life. Thanks NBC ( no brains corp.)

[contact1araya]

Respond to this video...

[neweast1]

great show and on a friday nite till cable came along and ruined tv forever gave us great reception nothing else.

[midmodgal]

Lots of "Stand-up guys" always ready to " make a move " Lucas hair defies gravity!

[sadecabas]

x sta serie hice buscar a mi mama la cancioncita sin saber el nombre,y obviamnte sin resultados...pero sera x siempre una d mis cancions preferidas RUNAWAY!...

[tedm1975]

I wish some station would show this on TV again. This show rocks.

[vanillapod1]

love this song :3

[WithoutRemorse12]

A series that was too ambtious and was canceled way before its time. Karma has finally happen at NBC. Yeah it about 23 years late. better late then never

[bigwoolleypenguin]

This was one of the best series ever. It brings back very special memories for me sitting up late in the dark watching this on Friday nights at my Grans by the light of the coal fire on my own. Anthony Dennison was fantastic as Ray Luca A real old fashioned bad guy.. You dont hear of him / see him much now. I cant believe those Friday nights were 21 years ago ( it was 1989 ).

[leyland1961]

Talking about this just the other day and we couldn't pin the year down, seeing it here is kinda scary !!!! TWENTY ONE years, where have they gone ???? Great series and the variation they used of this tune was equally classic.

[tardiveivan]

@leyland1961 Hi , Yes It doesnt seem like 21 yrs .My Eldest Daughter is 20 in December & it was later on that year (1989) I got married. Its starting to become worrying !!! Where did all that time go ?? Those Friday nights watching that are very special memories for me . I remember after Crime Story there was James Whales show and then Id go to bed , it was pretty late. Also I think we only had 4 or 5 channels then , thinking about it.

[tardiveivan]

@leyland1961 PS This last post is from my Wifes laptop ( I am bigwoolleypenguin ) My PC has gone down this week and I am computerless ( and may be for a little while now ! )

[MsThor77]

Klasyka :)

[MetallicBill]

Cast Glenn Frey in the big screen remake! He seems he could fit, and he's always liked his acting roles

[Str8EdgeMotherFucker]

Ahhh, why the fuck is this shit on my "Recommended for You" list???

[acarlos70]

This is not the crime story version this is a remake of the 1974 the history of crime is 1988

[mus1cat]

@acarlos70 Kind of confusing what you are saying but this is a scene from the tv series "Crime Story" that aired in the mid-80's. If I understand what you are saying.

[psiconauta21]

De lo mejor que ha habido en series de TV

[pakorrox77]

que buenos tiempos aquellos señor don simon

[tribeguy1948]

Snort. David Caruso.....you mean the non-actor who doesn't know what to do with his hands? Or whether or not to keep his sunglasses on? Or the the little 5'8" twerp who tries to order thugs to do something or he'll "make them do it?"

LOL LOL Laugh out fricking loud.

[194960]

Brilliant, brilliant series.

[tim22ism]

god knows that was such a good show!!

[DLM28659]

God only knows why NBC saw fit to yank Crime Story off the air back in 1988, but since doing so NBC= nothing but crud!

[1244226]

ray luca is homo is gay

[Laceykat66]

Good tribute, but NOT the Crime Story version.

Nice try

[dzikus1981xxx]

[Nepher3]

i loved that show!!!

[jrdill1929]

This has to be my favorite show of all time. Even David Caruso had a part in it.

[viewingut]

Crime Story & Miami Vice, best shows of all time! Haven't watched much TV since.

[Kielbasaman123]

very good song.

[luis123456561]

[jcs4bama]

fairportfan2, I don"t know what you are smokin, but get your act together, before you stay crap that is not true. Evidently, you did not watch tv, MORON!!!!!

[luis123456561]

[luis123456561]

the good movie short ok idiot bitch

[crossvilleboy]

Yeah man. One great song. One great show.

[Jaantastic]

R.I.P. dad

[citiboy287]

This was one of the best shows ever, I still think the opening of the pilot when the guys are held up in the bank and demand 2 million dollars and the reply was , " HEY I GOT a dollar 83 in my pocket , your taking to the wrong guy " brings it all into prospective

[maureencora1]

1960-1965?

[WholeLifeForNation14]

ACAB !

[doni185]

nice

[fairportfan2]

This is not the "Crime Story" theme, which had re-written lyrcis (but was sung by Del Shannon)

[9benita]

a great song, big artist

[macprohawaii]

That nuclear bomb scene at the end still makes me laugh at the stupidity of "Paulie".

[isabel1244]

many thanks ........is WONDERFUL , what memories

[Alexm799]

wow i used to watch this about fifteen years ago,it was quality tv,awesome...:)

[Naturelle08]

Обожаю Рея Лука, до сих пор его люблю!!

[facualaniz]

[drakian]

I loved this show as a kid!

[U20II3H]

great audio quality, thank you!!!

[anitalefemme]

what a so sexy man was ray luca!!!!!!!. I remember I was 5 years old when my daddy used to watch crime story and I loved to see ray luca and nowadays I still love to see him :·)

[friggydiggy81]

i'll always remember the season finale with the atomic bomb going off, then the next season just flat-out saying it basically didn't happen.

[fairportfan2]

You're rememberng wrong - they even played a little with implying that Ray was now mildly superhuman, like a Marvel villain.

[thepissedoffpotato]

Just checking my memroy but when they played this song (in the first epoisode I believe) it was raining? correct me if I am wrong

[nnightwalker]

it is the best show all times

[israelbustos81]

man, i remember my dad and i used to watch this show! thanks so much for bringing this back! i love it!

[johnpatrickbear]

WOW great music to open aGreat TV show

[forzaARIS]

[DaWRaSS]

Unutmuşum her çatışmada bir çiçekli vazonun hep tam göbeğinden vurularak katledildiğini:)

[Laceykat66]

1:12 Do you have any idea how expensive it is to film a chase scene like this for T.V.???

They put their money on the screen, that's for sure.

[jasarmy07]

Hello, I was a teenager when I saw an animated video of this song was a rock band that musicians were becoming dinosaurs or something like that, do you know you will done? I searched this video all my life =)

[ventues97]

amazing how his voice hadn't changed from 1961 to 1986!!!

[travis7310]

This is a re-recorded version from either the late 70's or early 80's. I have this version on a bargain bun CD from K-Tel.

[neweast1]

great show while it lasted started out great then like all it got so bizzare

[cutegrandma]

I love the orchestra and piano on this one..it makes the song.....I wonder , I wooooooonder where Del is today and what he is up to....

[chubbychilli]

He's Dead honey. he commited suicide - he shot himself in 1990. i think it was all those years of alcohol - it just took it's toll on him. :(

[stickshaka]

Interestingly his widow appeared on the Donahue show in the early 90's claiming Prozac was the cause.

Apparently it and similar drugs can in very rare cases make one suicidal. Back then they weren't aware of it and even then it's still debatable if was a factor here.

[SylarsLittleSisterx]

This song was on Heroes.. :L

How cool ^^

[EeuweB]

Haha yeahhh that was the reason I looked it up!! Such a classic!!!!

[zodiakking]

i was well shocked 2 hear it on heroes my mum listenens 2 all this lol
