Del Shannon - (Marie'S The Name) His Latest Flame

Del Shannon - (Marie'S The Name) His Latest Flame
written by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman and originally recorded by Del Shannon on the album "Runaway With Del Shannon" which was released in June 1961.
Elvis version was released in august 1961 so this is the "original" version and my favorite version of this song enjoy

@renc2002 Hey I even dislike most Elvis' songs but you are so right about this being Elvis' greatest song .. also good are Kentucky Rain, Devil in Disguise, In the Ghetto but I really just don't like Elvis' material or what he does with it but sure his performances are charismatic and he could move. But Del Shannon Wrote most of his hits and songs like Little Town Flirt and Runaway and I Go To Pieces are better than anything Elvis/ just sayin'

I love Del and don't like Elvis but I must say Elvis' version is a good deal better. sorry.

I like Del"s "Runaway" first, but Maries the name of his lastest flame Elvis has it beat.

@KIWI897 Del released this before Elvis. The popular version was Elvis eating Del's crumbs

[KIWI897]

Elvis's crumbs were too big to swallow .

I agree with the majority on this one. Although I love Del, his version pales in comparison to the King. This is the first Elvis record I remember hearing over the radio when it was new. They played it over and over again, every morning, just when we were getting up: also, Return to Sender, which came out about the same time. I don't recall , now, which came first. Maybe some one out there can help me on this.

No matter how much I loved Del's classic records he shouldn't have tried this one he doesn't have the voice for it which it is obvious after hearing Elvis' original But Del's records will remain classics of rock and roll forever RIP Del

@renc2002 i guess to each his own. im just a huge del shannon fan. it takes me back to being little just haven a good time with my parents. i dont know about other "young girls" today but my taste in music is very wide, from eddie arnold to ozzy to tegan and sara and many many others.

I have nothing against Del Shannon and I actually feel sorry for the poor guy and what he went through during the end of his life....But girl, what is wrong with you? What is wrong with you young girls today? If you truly had good taste in music, you would know that Elvis CLEARLY had the better version out the two!!....I like many of EP's songs, but "Marie" might just possibly be my favorite out of all of them...
