- a date all Del fans would like to forget 8th feb 1990, so as a tribute to Del and for his fans enjoy this interview with inserted clips, so with appologies to Bob Dylan ( Rock Rock Rockin On Heaven's Door ) still missed!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think Bob Dylan once said that Bobby Vee was one of the nicest people he had ever met. Matter fact Dylan even sang one of Bobby Vee's early songs, "Suzy Baby." in a concert.
Sad that both Del Shannon and Bobby Vee have passed on. Both extremely talented guys!!
Very sad...Rip...
Robert Zimmerman /aka Bob Dylan & Robert Velline /aka Bobby Vee appeared together on the following venue show to help fill in for Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper & Ritchie Valens , February, 1959 🎸🎸🎸
RIP Del.
Both of these guys - great talents.
My friend fastt ed they both still great here too when did del shannon died and even bobby vee died too
Del Shannon and Bobby Vee. This is beautiful😍😍
What a lovely way of speaking - Bobby Vee and Del Shannon. Awesome.
I never forgot Del Shannon because he struck the golden chord---a teen smash hit "Runaway." When the British Invasion hit I was aware he was sometimes an opening act. Other acts like the Byrds took flight and US groups broke up or dispersed or self-destruct. Shannon made frequent appearances on Shindig or Hullabaloo, but no interviews. He never made it into Rolling Stone magazine and when he seemed to have dropped out, he made his Live in Manchester lp which I prize. Since his early death I realize he was the definitive rocker with an effective growl and a high tenor wail to the end, our Buddy Holly who wrote and sang into immortality. His 25 Greatest Hits cd is better than anyone else's, staying true to himself for his fans. His lyrics of teenage misunderstandings encased in brilliant production values will stand forever.
Love both songs from Del an Bobby, both songs applied to my life when I was young, Rock an Roll is timeless.......
Great to see this, as both are sadly gone now. Saw Bobby in 2001. Keeping the music alive.
May their music forever be in our hearts.
Gorgeous Del Shannon! Have only just seen this as I am fairly new to an iPad. If I were just listening to Del I would recognise his voice because he speaks like he sings! You are still a great loss in my heart. You died much too early and as a result many songs will never be heard. x
Rock and Roll will never die don't ever quit playing it
RIP both...
I think that it's sad to say good buy to a good singer Bobby Vee he had such great music please take good care of my baby don't make him feel so blue! fear well Bobby Vee and god bless you may you rest in piece!
These two guys just seem to be down to earth types. I would have like to meet Del Shannon. He just seems like the guy who you want to be friends with. He certainly never seems to put on airs.
❤️❤️❤️ DELL GREAT ROCK SINGER ALL SONGS ARE BEST I LOVE ALL THE SONGS 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
Lucky enough to see Del - in Adelaide - must have been mid 70's. Great voice - one of the best
COFFEE BARS AND CLUBS IS WHERE MANY OF THESE GREATS HONED THEIR SKILLS THEIR MUSIC IS TIMELESS !....////
Both brilliant singers/musicians. Loved them
Seen him in the 70's, and what a great artist!!!!! RIP DEL
An unforgettable memory of my teen-age past, my hats to Dell from Battle Creek, Michigan !
A great video for any Del Shannon fan to add to their collection. One of your best rockinkb!
Tragic that these two rock icons had to be interviewed by two such clueless TV mannikins who bviously did no research prior to this on-camera session. Both men were '60s stars, not '50s -- Vee starting in 1960, Shannon in 1961. Given the rare chance to talk to these two guys with some 70 hits between them in depth, the male host takes the opportunity to step into irrelevancy by reminiscing about coffee bars! Her questions are mostly stupidly superficial, too. I was lucky enough to interview Del a few years before his death and just like Bobby, there was a great deal of depth to him utterly unexplored here. Regarding the constant references to nostalgia in this interview -- including bobby sox, which were a '50s thing, not '60s (!) -- as Rick Nelson put it, "if memories are all I sang, I'd rather drive a truck." The music of Del and Bobby is a lot more than stepping stones down memory lane. The heart of their music -- the portraits of human emotion they painted with sound -- remain endlessly timeless. We'll forever keep searchin' -- and the night will eternally have a thousand eyes.
+horarwgt I agree, but Bobby started in 1959.
horarwgt
you are absolutely brilliant in your analysis,thank you. British interviewers are often clueless and artificial and that's certainly the case here and I agree it is shameful and quite alienating to have to watch.
That female interviewer obviously won her job based on her looks, not her isnight into her interview subjects. Yes, it is tragic that precious on-camera interview time was wasted by this clueless boobette who clearly has no idea what she was talking about.
horarwgt was
They're promoting a reunion tour - of course the interview is going to focus on nostalgia. Yes it has a couple of awkward moments, but I don't think the tone is particularly superficial. Breakfast TV is never going to offer cutting edge interviews and probing questions, whether here in the UK or in the States.
Wonderful 👍
Bobby comes over as such a nice person.
WOW!! amazing!! Absolutely beautiful song. you have a great voice and you have a great talent .. I love it.
Big fan of both of these artists.
May they both share eternal life with God.
Del & Bobby rockin' it up in rock'n'roll heaven ......right now!
rockinkb - Thanks for another well done video with 2 of my favorite 1960's singers. Good job.
Del was a great artist and he was good looking.
R.I.P. Del and Bobby. You both had an BIG influence on my life and the songs that I sing.
Two greats together.
It's a shame that people like Del Shannon and Bobby Vee are treated in such a tacky way. There's a complete lack of respect and they're spoken of as if they're novelty nostalgia acts. Well, they mean more to me than that. Del Shannon was a great songwriter and passionate singer. Yet, in the first clip of him singing, it looks like he's playing at some awful holiday camp in the 80s.
well said , cud not agree more
Absolutely. Almost everything Del wrote was amazing. Top notch songwriter and amazing singer. Even his super stellar leading track from his incredible last album "walk away" was performed (or lip synched) on a corny morning show with the host talking to a puppet! Del's performance of it was great and the song so good, just to have it cut to that stuff at the end. (Video below) Del was amazing and deserved so much more, especially when the likes of tom petty and Jeff lynne adored him.

Agree
Del still sounded good.
2 ,Late Great .....LEGENDS
It's sad that Bobby Vee & Del Shannon are no longer around. Del Shannon did look cool & dignified with his mustache. I figured this interview was around the 80's perhaps from 1983 to 85. Because they mentioned Boy George's name. In 1982 I had bought the "Drop Down and Get Me" LP by Del Shannon. I also had some records & tapes by Bobby Vee. Here in Corpus Christi, Texas in 1977 there was a station that every Saturday night they'd play nothing but oldies. The show on that station was called Memory Lane. On a particular Saturday night the DJ actually called up Bobby Vee. To our surprise Bobby Vee did answer & the DJ explained what it was about. The length of that show was 4 Hrs & Bobby Vee was on. Bobby Vee certainly didn't want to disappoint his listeners especially his fans. I still remember that Saturday night hearing that interview as it was conducted over the phone. The DJ said that on his Oldies show that most listeners would request Bobby Vee's songs. That was when listeners would call in to request songs. The show was called Memory Lane with Dan Daniels. I don't know if Dan Daniels is still around, because here in Corpus Christi,Texas he was well-known.
This was recorded by me using VHS tape from a UK Breakfast TV show on 1st November 1985. The edited footage was passed to Keith [Rockinkb] to upload for those that did not see the show.
Awesome
thanks for sharing this interview with us, it great to hear his commentary and i LOVE how you mixed in the music too! a fitting tribute to the GREAT del shannon! sooooo missed.....
Del will be missed
thanks for sharing this,nice to see some new with the Great Del,my love,caro
Such a great voice.what could have been that inner demon
Charlie's wig should have its own tour.
Bobby so nice wouldve loved to have known him....
The other comments are soooo right - a really hopeless, embarassing interview. But I remember the tour well, went to see them in Harrogate ... and I still have the programme. Bo Diddly and Rick nelson got a mention but Frankie Ford and The Marvelettes were also on the bill.
AWESOME TIMES TE
Del with a moustache !!
I´m very sad to see that Del was set aside like he didn´t get to say to many words, don´t like that at all, it was just Bobby Vee that got to do all the talking it seems to me, what a shame,caro
@baratittafilmer Funny, I thought Del got a lot of coverage!

Does anyone know what guitar Del is playing? Harmony, DeArmond or perhaps an Epiphone?
If you goggle Del Shannon interviewed by Dawn Eden Goldstein - May 13, 1989, he talks a lot about the guitars he’s used over the yrs
@@juliahoban6893 Thank you, Julia. Small world. Dawn Goldstein later became a theologian. I interviewed her when I worked for a religious publication around eight years ago. Thanks again.
Here's audio of the interview, for anyone visiting here - dawneden.blogspot.com/2018/02/audio-del-shannons-last-interview.html
Dels guitar here was an Epiphone Coronet. He had great taste in guitars!🎸
Cheers Fred @@fredsampson
Debbie Greenwood!
Aren't the interviewers almost relentlessly petulant in their questioning? "So Bobby, what's it like to be old?" "Really, how interesting. Do you regret being past it, or do you think, 'Why not make some money out of the old horse while it's barely breathing?'" The gents handled it with grace. Listening to 'Wouldn't change a thing' by Bobby Vee. Really nice.
Agreed. I think many of the questions were inane. Most of we lay people (and real fans) could probably have handled this interview better.
Bobby has such a high forehead.
BOBBY VEE WASN'T ROCK ' N ' ROLL ----- HE WAS A GOOD POP SINGER . HE ONLY GOT HIS BIG BREAK BECAUSE OF BUDDY HOLLY'S DEATH IN THE PLANE CRASH, ALONG WITH RICHIE VALENS & THE BIG BOPPER . AS RE. DEL SHANNON ---- YES , HE WAS A GREAT TALENTED SINGER , SONGWRITER , RECORD PRODUCER & A GOOD GUITAR PLAYER !! ALTHOUGH HE WASN'T FROM THE EARLY DAYS OF ROCK ' N ' ROLL / RHYTHM & BLUES ----- SUCH AS LITTLE RICHARD , CHUCK BERRY , JERRY LEE LEWIS , FATS DOMINO , DUANE EDDY , JOHNNY & THE HURRICANES ETC. HE WAS A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH & CLOSER TO THAT FORM OF MUSIC MORE THAN MANY OTHERS AROUND AT THAT TIME. ----- YOU ONLY HAVE TO LISTEN TO ---- ( SO LONG BABY ) ( CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP , HANDY MAN , DO YOU WANNA DANCE , SEARCHIN ' FOLLOW THE SUN , & OF COURSE --- RUNAWAY !! YES, HE WAS A STANDOUT PERFORMER !! ----- A TRAGIC , SAD LOSS TO HIMSELF & TO HIS FAMILY & TO HIS CLOSE FRIENDS & OF COURSE HIS FANS !! JOHN IN U.K.
