One of the originals and he earned it all, nothing handed to him.

Agreed. Del Shannon & Roy Orbison were probably the only early '60's artists that were still relevant to the early '90's audience...He probably would have still had a great career to this day, had he decided to live.

The people loved Del Shannon and he wasn't Del Shannon. Del was his stage name, his stage personality and not him! He was Charles Weedon Westover.

We've all matured since those Days but the Song and the sound is as good as ever, Thanks for the Memories Del see you on the other side.

Rick Rothermel

He was on a real wave of success when he died... Runaway had been re-introduced to the public as the theme for the Crime Story TV series, and it was a great way to stay in the limelight and get paid. Good man, done too soon.

Probably the change of music played a major role on his depresion. I have a feeling if facebook & youtube were around back then he'd still be here just knowing how active his fans still are with his music. I know many artist spend lots of time on YT & FB. All these years I never could never really choose between Dion or Del, both are #1

Listen to this voice , it was clear as a bell, Prozac helped kill him, Del had just started taking it, and it gave him insomnia, i read Del hadnt slept well in 5 or 6 nights...and then came his tragic decision. The fans LOOOOOOOVED Del, I still cant understand why he would make such as FINAL decision. But Ive suffered woith depression, it can be real Darkness. And Dell suffered with it all his life.So he lost the battle. I miss him so much. Beware of Darkness, the song adresses Our Spirit.

I read on Wikipedia he was on Prozac. Ummm, another victim of Big Pharma. Depression medication sometimes doesn't work. Very sad. Fantastic vocals...just fantastic. Goes to show you live can sizzle.

Stan Tooley

He had battled clinical depression for years and finally could take life no longer. His music will live forever...

I dont understand, Why Couldnt he feel the love???? Audiences everywhere loved him , Del was a part of Americana.... His music was so powerful, timeless. He still would have been loved if he was alive today with all his great hits... Its too trajic? he was a tremendous writer, performer. Clear powerful voice....Why why?

Proof that lip syncing today is bullshit music...

I hope he knew what an impact he had on people. Everybody knows his songs lyrics by heart. Just look at the audience. RIP Del

@rickr442 Hey Rick, that song was beautifully choreographed for that show, I really liked the show too. Its a great song all around,

Rick Rothermel

The Crime Story series brought him new respect when Runaway was used as the theme for the series, with Del singing new lyrics. They did a 'tip of the hat' tribute to him in the show when he died...

Supposedly Del was tired of being known as Del "Runaway" Shannon. He also wrote some good songs for other artists, "I Go to Pieces" being one of them. He is approx. 53 years old in this vid and still sounding good!
