And that is the legendary Carol Kaye laying down that cool bass line (which she wrote.. the bass line, not the song).

Runaway was picked up as the theme song for the NBC series Crime Story with Dennis Farina.

I don't remember who performed that version of it though.

It was Del Shannon. He re-recorded the song for the television series. There's an article from 1987 that talks about it:

Well, this is cool… it is late in the day, my brain is pretty fried. I randomly selected a previous page on this thread and have been listening to what we posted…
(I do skip tunes I don’t care for or I am not in the mood for… )

We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion-year-old carbon
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

Another one of those songs I just love, and can’t say why.

Does it matter? I'm a guy who prides himself on "rational" and "logical" (oh...that reminds me of a song!).
But music moves me. I can't explain it. it's not rational. It's not logical. It's beyond all that....and I've decided it's OK.

This song, however, has always been a favorite for obvious reasons. But as of Nov 21, it brings happy tears to my eyes.

…reminded me of the same song.

I can relate. I have always been moved by music, and it took me years to catch on most everyone around me was not.
What was Nov 21? Sounds like a good thing to me!

Edgar Winter's White Trash - Tobacco Road (Live - 1971)

17 plus minutes of blues goodness. And we get Edgar's keyboard and sax work, plus his skat singing to Rick Derringer's guitar, absolutely phenomenal. Over fifty years old and, to me, it still sounds fresh and innovative.
