Music General : Del Shannon killed himself

Del Shannon killed himself

30 years ago. I had no idea. Apparently he suffered depression due to dissatisfaction with his musical career and failure to produce another big hit. Sad, but what a great song his one hit was. His co-writer on the track, Max Cook, died early this year. He wrote the iconic keyboard part. Great great song.

It's memorable from American Graffiti but quite haunting in Song To Song



Are you okay?

Re: Del Shannon killed himself

Damn, I had no idea.

So many stories, so little time.

Re: Del Shannon killed himself

RIP Del.

The alien eyes that show up in the video what's up with that?

This is the version I have.

A wonderful TV series with a remarkable intro! RIP Dennis Farina, you handsome devil! 🍻🤜🤛

Hey, it's a kind of magic!

Re: Del Shannon killed himself

Listening to some of his later songs I can see why he did it.

Having been a one-hit wonder can take its toll. Remember Rhythm of the Rain by the Cascades? I met their keyboardist in a coffeehouse about twenty years ago and he was not a happy camper.

Sad. He was talented and had the same name as my dad

Just before he killed himself. He was nice looking

del isnt a first name

If I have to draw attention away from some hormone-induced acne on my chin, I put on a lot of mascara.

Charles Weedon Westover is Del's real name. Del is a real first name, but most of the time it's a nickname, short for something else.
