DEL SHANNON, ROY ORBISON, GENE PITNEY, ELVIS – The ROCK-POP ICONS of the early 60s… One of the ‘extra’ tracks Jeff Lynne and Company’s cover of the great Del Shanon masterpiece, Runaway, becomes a tribute to not only Shannon but Wilbury’s own Roy Orbison and George Harrison, who appear in the great home movies included in this video. Now , lets hear the real thing , the original iconic song from its creator – and nobody

will ever do it better than…and then, some covers by Del himself  and Pitney of the great Oribson classic, Crying. DEL SHANNON, here in a rare 1982 performance and reminisce with Burton Cummings

AND none other than ELVIS doing with a rare, unreleased ‘chalypso’ version of Runaway

WILBURYS Tribute to Del Shannon,Orbison and Harrison – RUNAWAY

Del Shannon ‘sends this one out to Orbison’… great heavy version of Orbison’s Crying… wonderful, soulful, big beat live performance shortly after Roy’s bassing and not long before Shannon’s own untimely demise:

CLICK ON PICTURE

…and GENE PITNEY doing the first of his two cover versions of CRYING (‘Cryin’ on the later version) circa 1962

and Roy, himself, doing his own song. Del and Gene may give him a run but here’s the true original…from 1985 ‘Farm Aid’ Illinois concert

begin_the_beguine_tony_martin It’s sure good to see someone like Tony Martin still  singing – and singing well into his late 90s.  After all, probably the closest in age still on the circuit is Tony Bennett, and he’s a baby still in his mid-80s. Martin was raised right in my hometown of Oakland, and attended St Mary’s  College despite being Jewish. After  taking on a non-ethnic -sounding name, Tony Martin, Hollywood beckoned him. Martin became one of the top singers and actors of his day.  During the night we saw him at the Razz Room in San Francisco last year, Martin dropped many of those names of people he worked with  during the 40s and 50s and beyond, like Sinatra and Crosby, though his long-time conductor had to frequently help with the actual names.  But that’s ok, Martin sang well – and sang his familiar songs like ‘Begin the Beguine and ‘There’s No Tomorrow (same tune as Elvis Presley’s ‘It’s Now or Never,’ but recorded long before Presley, as he noted.  After Martin’s long-time movie-star wife Cyd Charisse (above right, with Martin in younger days) passed a few years ago, Martin called up his agent and said he needed to get busy and renewed his career, to the fortune of old and new fans, like us. If you want to hear the last of a breed of  powerful balladeers from the big band era, try to see Martin if you can, or at least listen to his music , like this one:
