Del Shannon
"Stranger in Town" is a 1965 song by Del Shannon. Written by Shannon, it is the opening track on "One Thousand Six-Hundred Sixty-One Seconds of Del Shannon". It was released as a single, a follow-up (both chronologically and thematically) to Shannon's top-ten hit "Keep Searchin' (We'll Follow the Sun)", but was not as successful, reaching No. 30 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart in the USA and No. 40 on the UK's "Record Retailer" chart. "Stranger in Town" was Shannon's last top 40 hit of the 1960s.
