Charles Westover committed suicide on this day in 1990.
In April 1961 he had the number one hit in the United States.
Twenty-nine years later, he was rumored to take the place of the departed Roy Orbison in the band "The Taveling Wilburys".
Better known as Del Shannon, his song Runaway is one of the seminal songs in pop music.
For me, after watching the movie American Graffiti, this haunting song my favorite of the era leading up to the British invasion.
RIP Del Shannon.
