"Runaway" was written by Del Shannon and his keyboardist Max Crook in 1961, charting that year at number one. It is ranked 472 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest songs of all time. When I came across the 1977 performance by Bonnie Raitt (don't miss the four-harp solo) I figured that I would probably find many more covers, but I was wrong. I only found a few, and most were not live performances.
