Ain’t no white boy got rizz like this no more.
I wonderyyyywonder
HATS OFF TO LARRRRRYYYYHE BROKE YOUR HEAAAAART
>>128516168>stereo version of Runaway has the clavioline hard-panned to the right so it rapes your right earwhat were they thinking?
>>128516326Serves you right for using headphones.
the TV show that Michael Mann did after Miami Vice was called Crime Story and "Runaway" was the theme song, but they did their own version. I kind of liked it better, though. good show, too
Rock didn't die in 1959 like the official history says. See del shannon, Dion, everly brothers
>>128516326They liked doing that in the 60s for some reason.
>>128517174And less famous guys like Jack Scott, Freddie Cannon etc. Rock-and-roll didn't "die" during this era but it was tamed and made more palatable to suburban 11 year old girls, the only discernible audience for pop for a few years.
>>128516168I never overly loved this song because the falsetto vocals and the keyboard solo always kinda annoyed me.
>>128518292Fuck you asshole.
>>128517174DS and the Everlys kept putting out good material into the late 60s but their radio play basically ended with the British Invasion.
>>128516326They were thinking "kino", faget, it sounds amazing
>>128516168Like a lot of contemporaries, he fudged his age a bit - same age as Elvis but was "officially" 21 when he broke with "Runaway" in '61. Also his real name was a good deal less neat-sounding than his stage name.
>>128518377>real name Charles Weedon WestoverSounds pretty badass to me.
it was commonly reported that Shannon's death in 1990 at age 55 was a suicide, but in fact it was an accidental prescription drug overdose and his widow said that was "absolutely not" suicidal
>>128518377so was Freddy Cannon. he also chopped a few years off his real age.
>>128517174american top 40 was pretty goddamn grim post-"death" and before beatlemania
>>128519570>>128504383Nah this had plenty of classics. Just not The Lion Sleeps Tonight.
>>128518055nothing wrong with some rock element to your rock music
>>128519580TLST is great thosurely you werent filtered by acapella soda fountain pop, right?
>>128518312>their radio play basically ended with the British Invasion.why?
>>128519628pretty tame compared to aretha though
>>128519651I guess their labels stopped giving them a promotional push.
>>128519661you know how it was. if you didn't have solid industry connections you'd get thrown overboard quickly once the next hot act came along.
>>128519658It's actually more interesting than what Aretha was doing in the early 60's
>>128519690early CBS Aretha gets derided, a little unfairly. none of the material is bad or anything and it captures her at her youngest and most girlish.
>>128516168It's because he's got the soul brotherly name, "Del"
>>128516326they only gave a shit about doing good stereo mixes for classical shit back then. no one gave two craps about pop stuff like this>>128518292shut the fuck up
Bump
>>128521441Pop albums in this time were usually "hit single+filler+crappy covers." Sometimes pop singers would also record a standards album for cred purposes.
Del was great. He made a good baroque pop album in 67 with andrew loog oldham producinghttps://youtu.be/IiQnjz7qrEI?si=PsOt0QB44pha7b4Bhttps://youtu.be/hLulAQO4MyM?si=XzT8HVujU5oFb7Rn
>>128516168*Don't no white boy got rizz like this no moreMind your grammar
One of the goats. Glad to see him getting love.
>>128516168I GOT THE RADIO ON...ME AND DEL WERE SINGING...LITTLE RUNAWAY...
