Awesome. As a kid, maybe 15, I saw Del Shannon live. It was at a beach club in Lido Beach, Long Island, NY. It was awesome. Featuring that “wirey” organ solo.
At 24 I was in LA, with Paul A Rothchild, when Bonnie recorded her album “Sweet Forgiveness,” with the proposed single “Runaway,” featuring the great harmonica player Norton Buffalo!! Thank you, Greg for another awesome article for a cold day, starting with a warm heart. ❣️
Brought back the transistor radio days and “the pony” - again. A revisit in the following decade with Bonnie and Freebo, who is bassing it up now with Alice Howe.
Better than a cup of coffee to get it moving. Thanks, Greg!
Also, Bob Seger's lyric in his great "Nightmoves" song and saga, references Dale's "Runaway":
I woke last night to the sound of thunder
How far off I sat and wondered?
Started hummin' a song from 1962
Ain't it funny how the night moves?
Bob had the year wrong by one. Interesting that both were from Michigan. Loved the '87 Letterman performance. Dale could still sing the high notes and his rhythm guitar sound is fantastic.
