'Runaway' was a chart-topping single in 1961 for which of these artists?

I live in his hometown of Coopersville, MI. We celebrate him every year.

Player Don1, That's wonderful! I was raised in Michigan.

IT WAS AND IS STILL A GREAT SONG. ALSO IT WAS THE OPENING SONG OF THE 8Os TV SHOW ""CRIME STORY "...

I distinctly remember where I was when I heard the radio DJ referred to him as "the late, great, Del Shannon"...in the early '60s. ???
