@@brittneyking4284, Let me make a suggestion. If you haven't done so yet, I would like to recommend an artist for you to listen to. If you look on my TH-cam page, you will see lists of songs from as far back as the 50's. I love music (not a fan of much after the late 80s) This young lady turned 16 years old in January. I have been following her for over 6 years, and in my opinion, she sings with more feeling and emotion than anyone I've heard in my 68 years. She doesn't so much 'cover' songs, as uncovers them and gives them meaning. This is a list of songs (she has over 170 videos on TH-cam and all are on my page) that I give to new reactors that I feel show her abilities the best. From her first time in a studio to the present, these will give you a glimpse in to her ability. I should say, She won Norway's Got Talent at 8 years old (entered while still 7) and has done more than a lot of artists 3 or 4 times her age. She was signed to Republic Records at 14 to her terms, and now lives in Los Angeles. You can do a search if you would like to hear more, or go to my page on TH-cam, I have several playlists dedicated to her, that will answer any questions you might have.

I’m big fan of Del Shannon! He wrote his own lyrics and music and was an incredible songwriter. He was also innovative - his keyboardist Max Crook, with whom he wrote this song, invented the Musitron, a precursor to the analog synthesizer. He made it using spare parts from household appliances & televisions! That’s the sound you hear at 2:28. Please also check out “Keep Searchin’ (Follow the Sun)” and his cover of Hank Williams Sr.’s haunting song “Ramblin’ Man”! Great stuff!
@@holyspacemonkey I checked it out, thanks, it is interesting. I also looked up Del Shannon and just realized he passed away in June at age 83. I must have overlooked it.

@@RayRay-zt7bj Del Shannon actually died in 1990. He had been depressed and had just recently started taking Prozac, which was new at the time.

You should look up Johnny Rivers. He was almost as big as Elvis at one time in the late 50s and early 60s. Memphis and Mountain of love are two of his best. 🎼🎼🎼
@@ronnie237 methinks you didn’t live in London in the 60’s. But I’m sure you’re aware of the movie Austin Power, International Man of mystery” which was a parody of Bond films while in the swinging 60’s. The swinging 60’s was real.
Haha, YOU feel old? My husband & I had our two children in '62 & '63! But we're still kicking and really enjoy the reaction vids a lot. Good thing about being our age is, we remember a LOT of music from past eras!
60s, my decade, my growing up, my having great memories that included great music and this is a song from the 60s. I can remember where I was and what I was doing and who I was with! Good music does that to you!
Great classic. The 60's was filled with dance crazes. So many new dances poping up that all thr kids danced too. Swing your hips now and clap your hands. Everybody move your feet to the groovy beat. ✌
One of the best. I could listen to this for a million times and wouldn’t get tired of it. So sad del couldn’t hang around longer to make more music. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
at 3:19 the girls dancing around the platform are doing a dance called, "The Pony". So, yeah, Im old, and I can remember my teenage aunts and their friends doing the pony in my grandmothers front room, and if I promised to be quiet and stay out of thir way, I could hangout and watch them. lol! I was 3 or so and thought I was one of the big girls, lol!
This song exploded onto the charts back in 1961 and has long since become an anthem of pop music. Del had a number of great songs in the 60s but this is his signature song.
I remember coming home from a game on the player bus, and we all started singing "Runaway". The coaches and the bus driver couldn't believe it! Thanks for bringing back some memories.
Always loved this song. Thid song played frequently on the radio in the car. I was like 6 years old and we sang along as my mother drove. Fun memories.
My parents were 20 & 21 when this was out. This was one of the 45's in their massive collection that my sisters & I listened to in the 70's & 80's growing up. Nice request!
I remember hearing this on the radio a lot, dancing around the kitchen with my brothers and Mum, love the way music does that. I knew you would love it when I saw the title, I had to chuckle at the dancers but they were enjoying themselves and that's what the right music does, takes you into a great place and brings you joy. I have forgotten so much of the music of my younger days but you bring them back to me sweetheart, thank you so much. Stay safe and take care please, God bless you, love hugs and peace Mary-Ellen UK
Oh my GOSH Jovaughn ❤🥰👏🏽 I use to pick up and Place the Needle on our little Vinyl record on my mums old Radiogram OVER n OVER AGAIN to this song when I was ONLY 10 YRS OLD ❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰 over n over again I know it WORD FOR WORD AND WOW!!! 🎵🎶👌🏼❤🥰👏🏽😄 I LOVE YOUR APRECIATION OF SUCH AN AWESOME SONG
I am so glad I was a teen in the '60s, all the great music and dances we had then, was a FUN time. Wish you could have been there, Jay, because you sure seem to be enjoying this!! THANKS for another GREAT REACTION! Please do more Del Shannon songs
I appreciate is the music back then. I appreciated the many voices… Good music. That you could understand, and dance to, that was important as well. Love these memories and listening to them never gets old, thank you👏👏‼️‼️
I love watching @JayveeTV react to these songs. He always seems to really enjoy them, and it takes me back too. I would have been 7 years old when this was recorded, and I'm sure I don't remember it from then, but I listened to it a lot just a few years later.
Listening to this great song 61 years one thing for sure Ill never get tired of it! Actually a special instrument was developed to create the cool groovy sound a Musitron an early development of the later synthesizer Song was soooo popular it was selling 80 thousand copies a day for a few weeks, true story!
Always reminds of that two record collection set "jukebox jive" that we got from the early 80s commercial on TV with hits of the late 50s and early 60s, it had this song. I can remember my dad calling the number to order it. We managed to convince him to get it.
Absolutely superb old song. I heard this one, when very young. With what sounds, like a very early version of a synthesizer. Happy you like it Jovaughn.
del was THE man late 50's thru mid 60's. a true american rock star. regretfully i can claim to have been there. he wrote and sang 'i go to pieces' that became a smash hit in '65 for peter and gordon. both versions are great
What's particularly interesting about this song, is that it features an early electronic instrument (the Musitron) that the keyboarder in this recording, Max Crook, invented himself. It was based on a 1947 French invention, the Clavioline. Those things were the forerunners of the synthesizer.
You had both me and my 75 yr old mom singing along with you! Mom says this was super popular when she was in high school at the Sock Hops on Friday nights. Thanks for making us smile!
This is one of my favorite songs from that era and that genre. I don't know why, but I have loved it since I was a kid, and it came out way before I was born. Great song, great singer.
I was a child during this one, don't know if this was Shindig or Bandstand or something similar, but it was on TV but this is how we got to see our groups back then. They all loved their go-go girls, LOL!
Trivia fact: this song was the theme song for a TV show from 1986 to 1988 named "Crime Story" featuring Dennis Farina as the main character, Lt. Mike Torello.
I think you nailed it, Del Shannon turned depressing scenarios into intense energy! I always liked the music for that reason, practically turns depressing moments into energy and entertainment!
In Tom Petty’s “Runnin’ Down a Dream” he sings:
“ I had the he radio on.
Me and Del we’re singin’
Little Runaway
I was flyin’ “.
Tom knew.
Paul Pelosi 👍
Wow, never put that together. Always thought Del was the cartoon dude in the video
@@BoondockRoberts I put it together the first time I heard it. But then again, I was already way into rock ‘n roll in 1961, so Del had been on my short list of favorites back then.

A golden oldie. Gone way too soon
Did anyone else catch the girl on the top left doing "the swim" dance like her life depended on it? 😂
Yes I did!! haha! 👌
Del is sorely missed. What a voice back then.
He never lost it.
When I was really, really young, 9, I knew every word to this song and sang it at the top of my lungs.
Wow this song really takes me back into my own personal time machine. The 60’s really did have some good tunes.
Only thousands of them😁
Reminds me of my first girlfriend - a gymnastics champion no less. She was so popular I didn't know how long I could keep her. OMG, those dancers - can just feel the hormones.
This is the ultimate Post 50's__Pre-Beatles sound that was amazing in the early 60's !!

I am so glad I was a teen in the '60s, all the great music and dances we had then, was a FUN time. Wish you could have been there, Jay, because you sure seem to be enjoying this!! THANKS for another GREAT REACTION! Please do more Del Shannon songs
My dad had this on an LP on the radiogram when I was young, it was my first taste of music and it is still the best x
I appreciate is the music back then. I appreciated the many voices… Good music. That you could understand, and dance to, that was important as well. Love these memories and listening to them never gets old, thank you👏👏‼️‼️
For some reason this artist really stood out. Thanks for the review. Glad you enjoy the classic oldies. 👍
You should also do his song; "Do You Want to Dance". It's another great one by him.
I love watching @JayveeTV react to these songs. He always seems to really enjoy them, and it takes me back too. I would have been 7 years old when this was recorded, and I'm sure I don't remember it from then, but I listened to it a lot just a few years later.
Love this song !!
Not heard this in ages it was playing in the background when I went to visit my Nan throughout childhood ❤️.
Listening to this great song 61 years one thing for sure Ill never get tired of it! Actually a special instrument was developed to create the cool groovy sound a Musitron an early development of the later synthesizer
Song was soooo popular it was selling 80 thousand copies a day for a few weeks, true story!
I watch lots of reaction videos but you are without doubt my favourite. Your joy, your humanity and your obvious love of good music makes my day.
Massive hit at the time - a true talent of the 1960's!
I hadn't thought of this song in 100 years. It was a great one. Love it!
This is one of my all-time favourite songs so I am so glad that you took a listen.
60 years ago, every Friday Night we played Del Shannon, Dion and the Big Bopper at our Sock Hops.
Loved that song by Del Shannon, the good ol' days!!!
This is one of the most iconic songs from that era.
My twin loved this song when I hear it it reminds me of her she been gone for sad time I love your reactions to everything
Always reminds of that two record collection set "jukebox jive" that we got from the early 80s commercial on TV with hits of the late 50s and early 60s, it had this song. I can remember my dad calling the number to order it. We managed to convince him to get it.
I dont care for many songs made before 1964,but this is an exception.Song rocks ! Thanx,Del Shannon.
These are the types of songs my mom and dad listened and danced to. 💃🕺
1961-- thinking back to when life was simpler, and innocent. Nice to reminisce!
Love this song, and this channel!
Thank you
Love your smile and moves to this song. Great song
Absolutely superb old song. I heard this one, when very young. With what sounds, like a very early version of a synthesizer. Happy you like it Jovaughn.
It was possibly the very first almost - all synthesized song!
Love watching your reactions....one of my old favorites.
del was THE man late 50's thru mid 60's. a true american rock star. regretfully i can claim to have been there. he wrote and sang 'i go to pieces' that became a smash hit in '65 for peter and gordon. both versions are great
Glad you're reacting to Del Shannon. This guy has really unique sound.
What's particularly interesting about this song, is that it features an early electronic instrument (the Musitron) that the keyboarder in this recording, Max Crook, invented himself. It was based on a 1947 French invention, the Clavioline. Those things were the forerunners of the synthesizer.
A nother good one , watching my mother and all 6 of aunts dancing at my grandparents house, just a kid but I remember the great memories.
You had both me and my 75 yr old mom singing along with you! Mom says this was super popular when she was in high school at the Sock Hops on Friday nights. Thanks for making us smile!
This is one of my favorite songs from that era and that genre. I don't know why, but I have loved it since I was a kid, and it came out way before I was born. Great song, great singer.
Love Del Shannon and his other songs Little Town Flirt & Handy Man are another 2 fantastic songs he did 🙌🏼
This is one of the most iconic songs from that era. Love it.
I'm surprised he still hasn't played any Petula Clark!
I wish he would.
She was incredible, got her greatest hits.
@@BertSmithLondon can’t go wrong with them either. Did some great hits.
Downtown would be a good start
In fairness, due to his age he has probably never heard of her but might do now once you have mentioned her name.
Oh wow, the good old days! I miss them SO much!!
I remember parents playing this song on the turntable for the kids when I was young. The kids would always try to do the “twist!”
I was a child during this one, don't know if this was Shindig or Bandstand or something similar, but it was on TV but this is how we got to see our groups back then. They all loved their go-go girls, LOL!
Trivia fact: this song was the theme song for a TV show from 1986 to 1988 named "Crime Story" featuring Dennis Farina as the main character, Lt. Mike Torello.
I think you nailed it, Del Shannon turned depressing scenarios into intense energy! I always liked the music for that reason, practically turns depressing moments into energy and entertainment!
I love this song,GREAT song!🐾❤🐾❤🐾❤🐾👏👏 Keep the music coming
Instant flashback to my childhood! Wow...where am I now? Take me BACK there! 😉
Even as a child hearing it as an "oldie" I was fascinated by this song.❤
This was just a couple of years before and Psychedelic 60's brought a whole new sound and genre of music.
The old ones are the best. Hope you are ok Jay. Great reaction great song. Stay safe 😊😊💖💕💖
Del Shannon wrote this with Max Crook. Number 1 on both sides of the Atlantic. Del Shannon wrote most of his songs. Such an amazing talent.
Hi from the UK, love your reaction to the music from back in the day , you need to learn to rock and roll 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗.
Love this song! What a voice and sang so effortlessly! Great reaction...Im gonna listen to it again too :)
Thanks, JV!!! The interesting note on this song is how it was the first almost-all synthesized song!
Glad you played it. Thanks. You shouldn't have a problem getting your videos removed the this era.
Oooh⚡⚡⚡ The Doors- The End and The Crystal Ship. The most beautiful doors songs. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh wow takes me back. I was 12. I loved this song!!!! You must try the Duke of Earl by Gene Chandler. It was a huge hit!
