Del Shannon (30 December 1934–8 February 1990) (born Charles Weedon Westover in Coopersville, Michigan) was an American rock and roller who launched into fame with the No. 1 hit "Runaway" (1961) which introduced the musitron, an early form of the synthesizer played by "Runaway" co-writer and keyboard player Max Crook. Shannon followed up with "Hats Off to Larry", another big hit, and the less popular "So Long, Baby", another song of breakup bitterness. "Little Town Flirt", released in 1962 reached #12 in 1963 as did the album of the same name. After these hits, Shannon was unable to keep his momentum in the US, but became a sensation in England.

Runaway Lyrics
Del Shannon
As I walk alone I wonder what went wrong with our love
A love that was so strong
And as I still walk on I think of the things we've done together
While our hearts were young
Chorus: I'm walkin' in the rain
Tears are falling and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here by me
To end this misery and I wonder
I wawawawawonder
Why wawawawawhy she ran away
And I wonder were she will stay
My little runaway
Solo-Guitar
Chorus
