I never appreciated growing up a teenager in the 60’s until recently. I didn’t realize then, the magnitude of what we had. Seeing the world today, the kids of today…..I could almost cry. Now I’m 72 and realizing……my God..WE HAD IT ALL! God bless all of you, especially those who were there and understand. ✌️😎☮️

My late husband and I used to go dancing most Saturday nights at a pretty nice club with a great house band. All young guys. Runaway was always a favorite song of mine, and I kept bugging the band to please learn it. They finally did and did it brilliantly. What a thrill to dance to it played by a live band years after it was big. Ever after they'd strike up Runaway when we came into the club, so we'd have to hit the floor before we'd even sat down. Great times.

IMO I think it's the very best version of the song. Even better than the original. Shannon said this version is how he wanted to record it originally, but the big shots wouldn't let him. Given that he was really ahead of his time with the rock beat, pushing the song forward and getting people up on their feet.

It's great to have these wonderful memories of him. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers backed him up on an album, that was the "Drop Down and Get Me LP". Which was back in 1981, he also knew the Beatles.

I have just read the sad news that Max Crook died just a few days ago on 1st July,2020. Max is the wonderful solo musician on Runaway, playing his own invention the Monophonic Synthetiser, which he called the Musitron. It looks very Heath Robinson (it is built with additional resistors, TV Tubes, and parts from household appliances and old amplifiers); but the very special sound and Max's energy and passion, together with Del Shannon's wonderful voice make Runaway one of the greatest hits of the early 1960's. Max co-wrote Runaway with Del. Max's chord change from A-minor to G was sheer musical genius. Del will always be one of my favourite singers of the 1960's and I hope he will never be forgotten. But I hope that Max Crook and his family are also remembered by us at this time. Rest In Peace Max.
