Del Shannon

Del Shannon (født Charles Weedon Westover; 1934–1990) var en amerikansk rock 'n' roller og countrymusiker og låtskriver.

Tidlig i 1960-årene hadde han hits med «Runaway», «Hats Off To Larry» og «Keep Searching», men etter The Beatles og den britiske bølgen ble Shannon satt i skyggen. I 1989 overtok han etter Roy Orbison i Traveling Wilburys, men Shannon begikk selvmord kort tid etter i sitt hjem i Santa Clarita i California.

Del Shannon ble innlemmet i Rock & Roll Hall of Fame i 1999.
