runaway-120Runaway Saxophone Music

Huge hit from Del Shannon in 1961. One of the all-time favorites from the early rock and roll era. Remember that unique sounding organ solo? It was played by Max Crook, from Ann Arbor MI, USA. He co-wrote Runaway with Del Shannon.

Not a hugely recognizable household name but he was the featured soloist on Runaway, which he co-wrote and on which he played his own keyboard invention which he originally labeled the Musitron.

This was a keyboard hooked up to a sound module or synthesizer. The first of it’s kind (remember, were talking 1960-61). What Max played on the Runaway session is known as one of rock and roll’s most epic and recognizable keyboard solos.

This download version also includes the notation for the organ solo of which you get to play along with.
