Del Shannon - Runaway - piano solo

Uploaded by: joolsscott
Video Description:
Del Shannon's Runaway is another classic tune that's engraved deep in my memories, a song that we all must have heard on TV or radio during our lives. The timeless synth solo is one of my favourites and I love playing it, on piano or on organ in the band I'm in called The Duckworths. Enjoy the song and join me in a little boogie.

non and keyboardist Max Crook, and became a major international hit. Singer-guitarist Charles Westover and keyboard player Max Crook performed together as members of "Charlie Johnson and the Big Little Show Band" in Battle Creek, Michigan, before their group won a recording contract in 1960. Westov
er took the new stage name "Del Shannon", and Crook, who had invented his own clavioline-based synthesiser, the Musitron, became "Maximilian". After their first recording session for Big Top Records in New York had ended in failure, their manager Ollie McLaughlin persuaded them to rewrite and re-re
cord an earlier song they had written, "Little Runaway", to highlight Crook's unique instrumental sound. On January 21, 1961, they recorded "Runaway" at the Bell Sound recording studios, with Harry Balk as producer, session musician Al Caiola on guitar, and Crook playing the central Musitron break.
"Runaway" was released in February 1961 and was immediately successful. In April, Shannon appeared on Dick Clark's American Bandstand helping to catapult it to the #1 spot on the Billboard charts where it remained for four weeks. Two months later, it also reached #1 in the UK.[1] The following year
champagne music maker Lawrence Welk who hosted a music tv series released and had a hit with the song. The next notable cover of "Runaway" was by the Small Faces in 1967, appearing on the From the Beginning album. Elvis Presley also covered it in 1970, while the Beach Boys were known to have played
it live. Charlie Kulis charted with a cover of "Runaway" on Playboy Records in 1975 at #46[2] while two years later Bonnie Raitt's cover performance of the song reached #57 in 1977[3] and was included album Sweet Forgiveness and later on her 1990 greatest hits album. Marty Friedman and Rolly cover
ed "Runaway" on Rock Fujiyama. The song was covered in French by Dutch singer Dave; the cover was called "Vanina". The song was later covered by the punk rock group Me First and the Gimme Gimmes on their Blow in the Wind, as well as horrorpunk band The Misfits on their covers album Project 1950. 198
6 brought a rock cover by Luis Cardenas. It was also recorded by the Traveling Wilburys during sessions for their second album, released as Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3 in 1990. The Wilburys had all been involved in sessions or production for Shannon's last album, released posthumously as Rock On, and
had it not been for his tragic death in 1990, there was some speculation that he would have played and sung on their album as well, perhaps as a replacement for Roy Orbison, a former Wilbury who had died in 1988. However, this has never been documented. In 1988, influential Chicago punk band, Scre
eching Weasel, covered the song on their 'Boogooda, Boogooda, Boogooda' album. The Misfits cover "Runaway" on their album Project 1950. Blood For Blood cover "Runaway" on their album Serenity. Me First and the Gimme Gimmes cover "Runaway" on the album Blow In The Wind. Samhain drummer Steve Zing M
