Ubuso obuvulekile, obumomothekayo obunamehlo aqhakazile, acacile - yilokhu abalandeli abakukhumbulayo umculi waseMelika, umqambi kanye nomlingisi uDel Shannon. Iminyaka engu-30 yokusungula, umculi uye waziwa emhlabeni wonke udumo futhi wabhekana nobuhlungu bokukhohlwa.
Ingoma ethi Runaway, eyabhalwa cishe ngephutha, yamenza waduma. Futhi ingxenye yesine yekhulu kamuva, ngaphambi nje kokufa komdali wayo, wathola ukuphila kwesibili.
Ubuntwana nobusha be-Shannon Case at the Great Lakes
UCharles Whiston Westover wazalwa ngoDisemba 30, 1934 eGrand Rapids, idolobha lesibili ngobukhulu eMichigan. Kusukela esemncane, waqala ukuthanda umculo, futhi umculo wamthanda. Lapho eneminyaka engu-7 ubudala, umfana wafunda ngokuzimela ukudlala ukulele - isiginci ezinezintambo ezine, okuthiwa eziqhingini zaseHawaii.
Lapho eneminyaka engu-14 wadlala isiginci sakudala futhi ngaphandle kosizo. Ngesikhathi esebenza ezempi eJalimane, ubengumdlali wesigingci seThe Cool Flames.
Ngemuva kwebutho, uWestover walibangisa edolobheni lase-Battle Creek esifundazweni sakubo saseMichigan.

Ebonga izwi elingavamile nge-falsetto yesiginesha, umholi weqembu u-Doug DeMott wamema ukuba abe yi-vocalist. Ngo-1958, uDeMott waxoshwa futhi uWestover wathatha izintambo.

Ukuzalwa kwenganekwane uDel Shannon
Ushintsho ekuphileni komculi kwaba ngo-1959, lapho uMax Kruk wamukelwa eqenjini. Iminyaka eminingi, le ndoda yaba uzakwabo kanye nomngane omkhulu kaShannon. Ngaphezu kwalokho, wayengumculi wekhibhodi onethalente kanye nomsunguli ozifundisayo. UMax Kruk weza ne-muzitron, i-synthesizer eshintshiwe. Ku-rock and roll, le nsimbi yomculo ayizange isetshenziswe ngaleso sikhathi.
Umculi wekhibhodi ohlakaniphile uthathe "ukuphromotha" kweqembu. Ngemva kokuqopha izingoma ezimbalwa, wancenga u-Ollie McLaughlin ukuthi azilalele. Uthumele izingoma zomculo enkampanini yaseDetroit i-Embee Productions. Ehlobo lika-1960, abangani basayina inkontileka neBig Top. Kungaleso sikhathi lapho uHarry Balk aphakamisa ukuthi uCharles Westover athathe igama elihlukile. Wavela kanje uDel Shannon - inhlanganisela yegama eliyintandokazi imodeli ye-Cadillac Coupede Ville kanye negama lomgilwa uMark Shannon.

Elandela uMbalekile
Okumangazayo ukuthi ingoma eyaduma yaqhamuka ngephutha. Kokunye ukuzilolonga e-Hi-Lo club, uMax Crook waqala ukudlala izingoma ezimbili, ezidonsela ukunaka kukaShannon. Kwakungaphandle kokujwayelekile, okuyisicefe "Ukuvumelana kwe-Blue Moon", njengoba u-Del Shannon akubiza kanjalo, ukuthi ingoma yathathwa yiwo wonke amalungu eqembu.
Yize umnikazi wekilabhu engazange ayithande inhloso, abaculi baphothule ingoma. Ngakusasa, uShannon wabhala umbhalo olula othinta inhliziyo ngentombazane ebaleke insizwa. Ingoma yayibizwa ngokuthi i-Little Runaway ("I-Little Runaway"), kodwa yabe isifushaniswa yaba ngu-Runaway.

Ngo-1963, umculi wahlangana ekuqaleni, kodwa kakade ethandwa British ezine The Beatles futhi baqopha inguqulo cover ingoma yabo From Me To You.
Ngokuhamba kweminyaka, u-Shannon wabhala ezinye izingoma ezinhle kakhulu: Handy Man, Strangerin Town, Keep Searchin. Kodwa babengafani nengoma ethi Runaway. Ekupheleni kwawo-1960, wayesengumkhiqizi omuhle, eletha uBrian Hyland noSmith endaweni yesehlakalo.
