Charles Westover changed his name to Del Shannon because his birth name 'had no ammunition.' He played guitar and sang in Michigan nightclubs until he was discovered by record company executives. He moved to New York and recorded Runaway in 1961; his distinctive falsetto and guitar work made the song an international hit . Shannon had a string of hit songs in the early 1960s and throughout the '70s and '80s he continued to record and produce albums. In 1990 Shannon recorded a comeback album with Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra and was concurrently being considered... to replace Roy Orbison in The Traveling Wilburys after Orbison's death. However sadly on February 8 of that year Shannon committed suicide. Tracklisting: 1. Hats Off To Larry 2. Handy Man 3. Swiss Maid 4. Pretty Woman 5. Crying 6. Black Is Black 7. Little Town Flirt 8.
