Del Shannon - Broken Promises w/ LYRICS

[SmeeTerryCarson]

Did Del Shannon ever make a really bad record ,NO 

[jekiwe]

this surely could have been a hit as an "A" side..not theflip of another...still great to know someone else obviously feels the same....he was my favorite from the 60s

[MrObichewy]

marvellous singer,lovely song brought back to me loads of nice memories....

[lanoying]

Padre De Dios, his voice is in his song. I feel like shedding tears by just listening. I'm Hispano and sentimental at that.

[muttergesert]

there are so many broken promises in this world  so very bad

[rivgsdon]

What a great song! Del was so talented

[unclebillmusic]

One of the greatest "flip side's" EVER !!! MY FAVORITE DEL SONG TOO !!! AND I LOVE THEM ALL !!!!!!!

[TheDutch1949]

love this song one of his best should have been an a side the man was one of the best what a unique voice miss you del

[Delfan1961]

Irish singer Red Hurley recorded "Broken Promises" and it was a #1 hit (in Ireland) in March, 1976.

[old65rocker]

Did Del Shannon ever make a really bad record, I think that sometimes the B sides of some his records would have been hits had they been released as A sides.

[TheRoloCasanova]

This is my fave Del Shannon song without doubt and he made some corkers. Have it on CD and although it was "only" a B side, it has that true 60s defining feel for me. I saw Del live at Manchester Apollo along with Frankie Ford, Bobby Vee, Marvelettes and Rick Nelson - what a great show. Sadly, Rick died shortly after and Del not long after that! What a waste!

[Laughtongang]

I saw the same show in Harrogate in the November, Bo Diddley was also part of the line up , I totally agree with you about the show , Del finished the first half of the show and Rick closed the final half . One of the best shows I have been to .@TheRoloCasanova

dont guild the liily was made after his first release..'runaway' .....'you never talked about me' was the 'b' side of 'hey little girl....it was used in the film 'its trad dad' starring helen shapero,craig douglas.johnny leyton,acker bilk,the temperance seven........

[ladyskyya]

This song has everything. I love it.

[Viznel137]

this is such a great B side!"keep Searchin" should have been a double A side for sure!Del is CLASSIC!Thanks a lot!

[kev113113]

Along with "Downtown" by Petula Clarke, this song is the epitome for the sixties to me. Class!

[jackwbb]

that del shannon lcould really sing

[flexidox]

I heard this the first time on the debut album by Peter & Gordon. That was the summer of '66. Now I am 62

[kfsn1904]

Never heard that song before, but listened to it with so much pleasure. Always loved listening to recordings from that "boy"

[davidnettleton]

Widen Market Thoroughfare to 5 metres as promised.

[acceitunas]

Such talent,all the good ones cross over,sadly missed.

[raytheloft]

hi jackandizzy and all Del fans,i'm almost certain i heard "DON'T GUILD THE LILY" also "YOU NEVER TALKED ABOUT ME" before runaway. some one some where must be able to tell me how to find these,hopefully on my laptop. thanks in advance.raytheloft.

[raytheloft]

CLASS.ray the loft

[Jackandizzy]

Great song.

[raytheloft]

hi jackandizzy.i should have signed off as ray the loft.what year did you get into DEL.

[Jackandizzy]

I first discovered Del upon the issue of 'Runaway'. I was about 12yo at the time. I'm now fast approaching 60. I was lucky enough to see Del every time he came to Scotland - which was quite a lot [maybe a dozen times.] Those were the days!

[torino71torino]

My mom used to have us dance to Keep Searchin' by Del (and Yeh Yeh by Georgie Fame). I was just 4 years old. Now I'm in my 50's and keep listening to Del, feel so bad the he commited suicide.. I damn that Prozac, but who knows for sure. He was so prolific and helpful in the music scene! I have his Anthology.. It's fantastic and I recommend it to anyone who loves Del Shannon!

[cantonadenmark]

His voice will never leave me....best voice ever

[zaaritha]

He had a great voice!

Sad he ended his life....

[flexidox]

I heard this for the first time an a flip side of a Peter & Gordon 45

[bekkamk]

this is one of the best songs del ever sang. its a shame you cant but it anywhere.

[raytheloft]

i could have seen del ,in middlesbrough 1962 at the night club for ten shilling (50 pence),but my good lady did'nt want to go so i was broken hearted.22years later my second good lady said,dels on at the top hat club at spennymore,lets go.yes i really got to see my hero.does anybody have the sound track of that night please please.07974944093.

[Jackandizzy]

Sounds like you missed out on a real bargain - 50p. Sounds like your second missus had better taste in music - priceless.

[lockey1966]

Wow great, thanks for posting.

[jekiwe]

isn't it..'broken words..broken promises (cause) broken hearts? at least that's what i'm hearing here. just an fyi.....thanks for the song. flip 'keep searchin' still the better side but i like this side too.

[paludatom]

My favourite of all his songs, I agree, it should have been an A side.

[sukie49]

think you will find words are but you said youre sorry it has to be

thanks for all your wonderful vids love sue

[Rockman60]

Always loved that tearbreaker !! Always will....

[kdiscman]

Finally somebody posts Del's best song!

[raytheloft]

i can relate to every song,from being a teenager in love, to presant day at 63yrs youg.ray (sugar)

[websearch333]

should be..'take me back baby,love me instead'

[websearch333]

should be...'broken words,broken promises...a broken heart'

[websearch333]

should be..'a fool in loves not smart'

[eirbiz]

He had such a positive influence on millions of lives...it's so sad to think how his life ended.

[websearch333]

actually he was very highly rated....only american artist to withstand the Beatles onslaught on the British charts during the sixties.Also was going to be offered Roy Orbisons place in the Travelling Willburys......met him many times...a real gent!

[minorcheaper]

Last line should be .

Cause broken hearts I think

[maz50]

luv u del miss you forever thanks for this vid

[redmk6]

good song,very underrated singer!

[kyannos]

Del was never underrated, just never hit the mainstream,

60's were a lot about fad too, his voice just gives me goosebumps

[minorcheaper]

Should have been an A side
