Runaway

"Runaway" (Shannon-Crook) was a number-one Billboard Hot 100 song in 1961 by Del Shannon. It is notable for its use of the Clavioline, an early form of synthesizer played by Max Crook, who referred to his heavily-modified instrument as the "Musitron". The following year champagne music maker Lawrence Welk who hosted a music tv series released and had a hit with the song. "Runaway" briefly returned in 1986 when Shannon recorded a revised version for the theme song of the television show Crime Story. Coincidentally, one episode of the show's second season featured Bonnie Raitt's cover of the song. ~Wikipedia

I love this music. Little Town Flirt was one of the first 45's that I bought. I still have it in the basement. Sam Cooke's Chain Gang! Kathie

I find myself whistling this tune, I remember the original release as though it was yesterday - the trouble is I can't remember what happened yesterday!!! Must be caused by climate change, not age!! Nice image Jen, thanks! :0)

Del Shannon was one of the pop stars I ever saw - back in about 1964!

Wow! What a neat old Jukebox! Are they still around in the famous PA Diners?
Love the curved reflection. Cool shot.
Agree with Dan; You can't go wrong with Sam Cooke.
