In 1961, rock ‘n’ roll was still in its infancy, but artists like Roy Orbison and Del Shannon brought a new vibrancy to the charts in the early ’60s. Del Shannon was born Charles Westover in Coopersville, Michigan, and paid his dues in local nightclubs. It was in the Hi-Lo club that Del and his organist Max Crook came up with “Runaway,” which shot up to the top of the charts, selling 80,000 copies a day!
