Age 62, Del Sh. fan: I NEVER heard this song before today. It really shows his vocal talent that I didn't believe he had!

[74sodapop]

Me too.I heard it from Deadbeat a H.B.O. movie in 96.This was never on any compilations.I don't know why.

[jmen4ever]

The closing song for the mostly true film, deadbeats.A song anyone who has had an unrequited love, can relate to.

[74sodapop]

Definitely,is it called love when your girl hates your guts now?.I call it misery not love.Thanks Del

[anniecash1]

This is amazing, DelShannon was amazing. What an artist. And the no dislikes here show me people still have sense!

[20FlightBlues]

probably his best song other than Cry Myself To Sleep IMHO but then again everyone has a favorite Del song, guy was amazing.

[20FlightBlues]

should've been a hit he had so many kickass songs been obsessed with this song for decades

This was as good as 'Runaway' - maybe musically even better - but for whatever reason there are 0000s of Del Shannon fans that will never have heard this before. I don't know about you but I hope, I truely hope, some day, classics like this will be spoken about in the wider musical media.

Bobby Vee knew and recognised hence his stunning version recorded a few years ago along with Cry Myself to Sleep.

dedicated to Yaya from Del-Rio Texas....from the California Kidd in Bakersfield...

Great song. Never heard it before but sounds like it should've been a hit.

@kansasbadger Del is a Legend , His voice the falsetto was unique to him. His music will never die. Del , I'm 33 yo and the first time I heard your songs runaway, hats off to larry I had to discover your entire music repertoire and became a fan of yours. One song that really shows how deep Del can sing is "Life is but nothing". Del you are always unforgotten and a true Legend !!!!

[TheDutch1949]

the reason this song wasnt a hit is because del changed record labels london to stateside this was onlondon the radio stations chose to play mary jane on stateside label both songs released at same time this one was virtually ignored shame much better than mary jane miss you del you were the best

[Denon1970]
