Outsider Oldies - Runaway: The Del Shannon Special
Los Angeles, 17.05.24
In 1961, Del Shannon became the moodiest rock star to ever do it with the release of his falsetto-soaked melancholy rocker "Runaway." He scored a few more hits over the years. but also released some heavily overlooked outsider ballads. From psychedelic pop majesty and beyond, here is an hour with the late, great Del Shannon.
