Crash Course: Del Shannon



Del Shannon was a singer in the early sixties. Del had a few big hits such as "Runaway" and "Hats Off to Larry."  These are great songs if you enjoy early Rock and Roll.  Del had a distinct style of singing and it suited him well. In my opinion Del never recieved the creidit he deserved and people are missing out on a great early rock singer.Recommended songs: I Go to Pieces (which he wrote), Handy Man, Hey! Little Girl, Cry Myself to Sleep, I Wake Up Crying, Sea of Love


Del Shannon died on February 8, 1990 by a self inflicted gunshot wound.
