I don't know much about Del Shannon, but when I get back from work I'm going to track down the mods of 2005 and give them a real roasting for leaving a Del Shannon thread in the Classical Music section!

I like that one song of his. You know the one. Play it around any old person and they'll hum along to the keyboard solo without fail.

Oh come on, Lisna! Surely even you know that classic, Runaround Sue Suite in C Major, Op. 57?

I remember a few hits by Del Shannon from the Oldies station on long car trips. Runaway had this strange electric organ in it. I found out called "the Musictron" which was a modified clavioline keyboard. Hats off to Larry was an earworm all through grade-school. It's still an earworm whenever I am twenty feet near anyone named Larry. Del Shannon was one of Jeff Lynn's influences. He actually got to work with him on the album "Rock On!" which was release in '91 released after Del Shannon died.

The song I like by him is Keep Searchin', it was release in '65 and there is a bit of British Invasion or (UK) beat music influence there - I think. Maybe it's a unlikely coincidence but the song reminds of The Searchers.

Definitely British Invasion influenced. I think he did a tour or two in England Pre-Beatle invasion.


He was also the first one to technically chart with a Beatle song. He recorded From Me To You not long after the Beatles did and it made the Bubbling Under on Billboard in 1963. Not a great version, but interesting trivia none the same.

Runaway was the first song I ever remember hearing incredible as that sounds since I wasn't even born yet when it came out (My Mom was pregnant with me at the time). He had some good singles but his albums kind of sucked.

Wait. You're saying, right now, that you remember hearing a song whilst in the womb?

It's scary because you actually think you can remember a song you heard before you were born. Humans can't remember things in the womb. You formed a memory yourself. A nice one but it's physically impossible to do what you're saying you did.

This has been a message to ruin the mood by your neighborhood Exo.
