Runaway with Del Shannon is the 1961 debut album by American rock and roll singer-songwriter Del Shannon...It is regarded by critics as having helped bridge the period between early rock and the British Invasion.

Singer-guitarist Charles Westover and keyboard player Max Crook performed together as members of "Charlie Johnson and the Big Little Show Band" in Battle Creek, Michigan, before their group won a recording contract in 1960. Westover took the new stage name "Del Shannon", and Crook, who had invented his own clavioline-based electric keyboard called a Musitron, became "Maximilian". - Wikipedia
