In memory of Dennis Farina, a terrific actor, true gentleman, and good cop. Thank you for many fond memories.

I‘m a Chinese and I am 43 y.o. now. I used to watch this TV series during my childhood. That was a golden age of America for the era showcased in that TV series. God bless USA.

RIP Dennis Farina, AKA Mike Torello. Crime Story was one of my favorite shows as a child.

Del Shannon re-wrote and re-recorded his classic hit "Runaway" for the title sequence of the series. One of the best series in the 80's! The music used totally made the right atmosfere for the 60's that the series was set in. I liked it even better then Miami Vice.I remember being very dissapointed when the series ended in the Netherlands. Farina was the real badass hero back. then! Unforgettable

Mam 50 lat. ostatnio widziałem teledysk z tego fimu w wieku 15 -chyba lat. Uwielbiałem ten serial. Pozdrawiam z Polski 🇵🇱.

The Hats, long coats, Thompson sub machine guns. Just absolutely priceless. The fabulous 50,s

There's not a bad version of this song anywhere, as long as Del Shannon is singing it. Rest your beautiful soul, Del.

I'm a Japanese. Around 30 years ago, it was broadcasted in Japan in midnight for youngers. It seemed me very classic and stylish America. Men among all men. I admired it. Great America again, I really hope. From one of sons of your very old true challenger.

One of the all time best police/mob shows. Excellent acting and a great, great ending. Does not get any better.

They don't make anything like that anymore. It was extremely popular in Yugoslavia, too. Dennis Farina was simply great. RIP.

Who's watching in 2019? I just turned 40 and grew up with this in my teens

This was a fantastic series in the 80s ,brings back good memories

Awesome! Friday nights, NBC, Miami Vice, then Crime Story! Great shows!

Man I miss this show, this was a really great show from the 80's. RIP Dennis Farina.

Moje lata młodości,pamiętam jak Tata oglądał ten serial,a ja z nim. Super muza!i Dennis Farina.

I'm watching! I turned 40 last October and this show was one of the most important for me in the mid 80's. I love this tune, it must be in the top 3 of this genre...This song makes me want to put on a tuxedo, sit behind the wheel of an American muscle car and drive towards the sunset forever...

Crime Story show and Runaway song, perfectly matched! From Michigan USA 🇺🇸

Dziś mam 47 lat, i słucham tego kawałka z taką samą przyjemnością jak miałem lat naście.👍

One of the greatest TV shows ever. Of course it wouldn't last because Mr. Mann was simply too great to be limited to this.

One of the best shows ever on TV! Underrated, and should have lasted a long time!

Dennis Farina was one of the coolest guys ever and I will miss him forever. RIP my man. 🙏🏽

Pamiętam ten serial. Od tego czasu polubiłem Denisa Farinę. Potem w dobie Internetu już łatwiej można było odszukać informacje i o serialu i aktorach i samą muzykę ściągnąć. Nie wiem czemu ale jak jej słucham to jakoś mi się smutno robi. Jakaś nostalgia za tamtymi czasami.

Piękne auta, elegancko ubrani mężczyźni , kobiety w szykownych strojach i fryzurach . Wspaniały klimat.

RIP Dennis Farina, a talented actor and a well-respected man!

I loved this Show. Dennis Farina God Rest His Soul. , Great Show.

I'll miss Dennis Farina. But I've never been able to listen to Runaway in quite the same way since Crime Story was on. Long story short... Thanks for this. It ROCKS!

You don’t have old school people like this anymore. It’s sad, Mr. Farina was one of those respected men and old school true cop!

Such a good show to get cancelled. Music and Dennis Farina n]made it all real!

Im from Croatia 40 years old,,rased by grandparents. in early 90 there was a war here we ware on the frontline and every day my grandmother and i watch this on a small tv in bomb shelther

RIP DENNIS FARINA he is gentlemen one of my favorite idol best hollywood actor he is cool guy starring role police detective "THE CRIME STORY".

I am almost 35 and became a fan of Del Shannon because of this very version of this song. I would have been about 8 when the show came out I think, 10pm on Friday nights--but I loved the theme song so much my parents let me stay up just those 3 minutes to hear this song and then go to bed. I wouldn't see the show at all till years later and although I don't like crime dramas, this one was awesome. And when I learned that Dennis Farina had been a real-life Chicago cop before becoming an actor, his incredible portrayal made sense. RIP sir, and RIP to the late great Del Shannon, who never really got his just due after this song and is unfortunately only remembered for this song by most. Hats off to Del.

My Mom loved this show, would watch it religiously. RIP Mom.

At university in 1987, never missed this show, and kept the VHS recorder on Miami Vice every Friday night while out partying! Great shows, great times!

Помню его показывали по каналу Россия в 90-х , отличный сериал и песня супер!!!

Friday, September 1987....N.B.C. 8 p.m. ..Miami Vice...9 p.m....Crime Story....10 p.m. ...Private Eye....Dare I say...the perfect night on television EVER!!

Pamiętam jak z kolegami w 89 i 91 roku opowialismy o tym serialu i tej piosence teraz mogę jej się nasluchac wspomnienia wróciły

I dont think this program ever got the critical acclaim it was deserved. Thirty years later it still holds up fine.

To jest pierwszy serial jaki namietnie ogladalem dla tej piosenki samochodów i neonów ,lecialo to chyba na samym początku lat 90 w tv jeszcze wtedy nie chodzilem do szkoly😊

I'll never forget the first night it aired. I was working in the hottest restaurant in Chicago at the time, and these people would come in to eat. They also scouted the location for possible filming possibilities. But I swear that first night, the opening theme was much louder than they ever did again. I remember being just totally taken by it. Brilliant.

Long before The Sopranos, Vegas and Mad Men. One of the best shows on NBC - ever. Dennis Farina (RIP).

Самый лучший сериал, какой я смотрел за всю свою жизнь!!!!! И песня просто супер...))))

I will never forget how the show have ended the last 5 min of the last episode I was so the show to return but it never did.

I miss this show.... I spent all day trying to find this song, getting some what frustrated at the fact that I could not remember the name... But to finally hear it again... Ahh, gave me chills.

As an American car collector l love this series...they were all good actors.... One weekend soon l will sit back with some drinks and nibbles and enjoy the whole series back to back...cheers Dennie and cast ❤

One of my all time fav songs. Used to play it on my old guitar when I was a kid. And my ALL TIME fav TV show. Reminded me of the "real good old days in Chicago". Notice that pic of the skyline when the Prudential Building was the biggest thing down there. Would love to see that show come back somehow.

A fantastic musical intro by Del Shannon, a great show with meticulous attention to how things really looked in '62. What a time to be alive, space race was just underway, JFK was alive and we all had a sense of hope despite the dread of the bomb. And I was still a little kid full of stars in my eyes. Loved it.

Rest in Peace. Dell Shannon and the incomparable Mr.Dennis Farina.

Мне 5лет было когда этот сериал шел, но музыку и заставку помню до сих пор!👍37 лет на сегодня!

I watched this as a kid and was inspired to become a cop… I just saw steam coming off of a wet road and had to pull over and watch this vid… I became that cop and think of this and other shows that played such a big part in my decision with regularity… I’m glad to have been a child of the 80s

Best theme song EVER.

This was a classic tv series I'm 37 n I remember when I was a kid watching this show with my uncles...n wit all the garbage that's bein repeated on cable ect...I won🎶won🎶won wonder🎶 y i never see this show at all..

Rest in peace, Lt. Mike Torello. Only two seasons of the best crime show I ever seen!!!!

И ФИЛЬМ СМОТРЕЛ СКОЛЬКО РАЗ НЕ ПОМНЮ,,, А ПЕСНЯ ПРОСТО ШЕДЕВР,, ПРОСТО В ТЕМУ,, КЛАССИКА,,, НЕ ЗАБУДУ,,,

I love this show and Dennis Farina. Did you know before he became an actor he was a cop? No wonder he play this so well. The song of Dell Shannon I just heard it for the first time with the show and loved it right away. Later when I heard Shannon's original song I noticed the lyrics was a bit differend then they used it on the show, but still love it even today.

Bardzo lubialam film " Crime Story " i podklad muzyczny w wykonaniu Del Shannon Runaway , a dzis z przyjemnoscia znowu slucham !!!!

R. I. P. Charles Westover a. k. a. Del Shannon Thank you, Sir, for the gift of your music. This remake of your classic has a more poignant, melancholy, haunting quality, giving it even more impact. You are sorely missed!

I was in high school when this show was on. I loved it. RIP Mr. Farina.

This is the first (and best) version of the Crime Story intro; they changed it several times by substituting video clips. Song, fortunately, did not change. I miss Dennis Farina...RIP. Thanks for posting!

Great song from the 60s. I saw Del Shannon perform it at a free concert in Brooklyn at a field on Avenue K & East 16th Street with someone else. By the way I had the chance to meet the great Dennis Farina at the dedication of the National Police Memorial in Washington D.C. I wish that we had cell phones with cameras back on October 15,1991. Dennis Farina was a wonderful person and I even gave him a patch of the NYC Hospital Police (HHC) where I was working at.

This was such an awesome show!!! I was in high school when this was on! Why can’t they put this kind of stuff on TV anymore??? Not enough actors who can actually ACT???

I remember watching this show as a youngster. I loved this cover of Del Shannon’s Runaway. Damn I’m getting old😂

I already loved Del Shannon's Runaway, then when Crime Story used it for the theme song I never missed an episode.

Yeah Torello versus Ray Luca awesome also my childhood heroes 😢greetings mika

Tony Denison as Ray Luca superb and also Ted Levine as Frank Holman awesome actors

Long Live “ RAY LUCCA & PAULI 😂 THANKS 😉 lived for every EPISODE 🤷🏼‍♂️

Thank You for uploading this! I tend to come back and jam to this everyday sometime during the day

it is all my childhood. Cant forget this song and the greats characters Mike Torrello, Ray Lucas and Manny

Who is watching in 2020 sing it Del! And Crime Story is freaking awsome it sucks it didn't last as long as Miami Vice did. I've got both Crime Story on DVD and Mimai vice on Blu-Ray along with digital!

Yes, that was Del Shannon singing this. He re-did it for the show.

one of the early 80's series that started to gain more attention for television with the always great DENNIS Farina and produced by MICHEAL MANN [HEAT ,PUBLIC ENEMY ] who i believe directed some of the early episodes!!

Just bought the DVD of the series.....delivered next week.......2017 starts perfectly

One of the highest cool factor shows ever.

Recuerdo que era pequeña cuando veia esta serie con mis hermanos, no entendia mucho pero me fascinaba escuchar esta canción, hoy la encontre por casualidad y me transportó inmediatamente a esos tiempos de mi infancia junto a mis hermanos todos pegados al televisor, bellos momentos

I prefer this version, God bless Del, and Dennis for a happy part of my childhood!

I also liked the beginning when they showed Vegas more during the song, especially the part where the boys are going after Ray Luca at the Lucky Star, and Torrello fires his 1911 & Danny lights’em up with the B.A.R.!

Kto pamięta serial z telewizji lata 80-90.

2017...still listen this song

I was like 4-6 years old, when my brothers forced me to watch this series as it was airing (couple of year later than the states here in Finland), but the Del Shannon tune stayed forever and i'm glad for my bro's forcing me!

I used to watch this with my granny as a kid & this song was the best bit.

👍Greetings from Poland ✝️M🇵🇱🙌

All the things Dennis Farina did to make cops look ultra-cool in this show and they busted him at an airport for carrying a gun in his luggage. He damn near went to prison over that. It's just not right.

The song came out when I was in High School. Loved it then but loved it even more when it was paired with Crime Story.

I think this my earliest memories of a child , born in 1983 .... I could never remember the name of programs . Been searching for years . Thank you for this ..

the pose at 1:30. uncopyable. was born in 70s. 80s was my generation. rip dennis

Best version of Runaway ever. Great show too

I have watched all of the Sopranos and all of Breaking Bad - fantastic shows, Breaking Bad's 4th season finale is the second greatest season ender of all time. The season ender for Crime Story's FIRST season is the best, ever. I don't see how it could ever be topped. Copied, but topped.... it's unbelievable. This show was ahead of its time. Farina, Denison... and Stephen Lang before he became a tough guy / evil general... amazing. Worth watching just if you like old cars - that's what first hooked me but the story of these two protagonists is just one of the best ever.

Legend, R.I.P. Torello (Dennis Farina)

didn't think it was possible to improve on the original version but they did.

Najavna i čuvena spica serije iz 80 tih ...krimi priče

I loved this programme with Dennis Farina. It was on TV in Greece when I was in my 20s. And I loved the song too. I am still listening to it...

God I miss this show. Couldn't wait for a new episode each week. I didn't know they released it on d.v.d. Maybe I can find it somewhere. Loved the way Dennis Farina carried his 1911 style .45 auto with the grip safety tied down. Carry mine the same way. His was G.I. issue I believe. Mine is bright stainless steel w/ ivory grips.

Хорошие были времена ,в начале 90-х в странах снг этот фильм крутили по ТВ .Детектив по понедельникам в телепрограмме назывался...

The e-guitar solo is also way better than the original hammond organ. But in the final credits theme, the solo was also made by the saxophones. Just excellent. Really fine music.

Dla mnie film najlepszy....to jest film wszechczasów.,...obsada , fabuła...to jest to

It WAS a brilliant series; so good I can accept their re-working of the Shannon classic.

loved Dennis Farina, its a dam shame the show was Cut way too soon. RIP Dennis!!

Brutal serie. Impecable vestuario y recreación de vehículos. Inolvidable. Y su banda sonora, tremenda. Esta version actualizada de Del Shannon fue arte y magia pura. Saludos desde Montevideo, Uruguay.

Very cool show. I remember drinking a New York Seltzer and watching Crime Story.

Loved this show back when! love this version of Runaway!
