Who the F*ck is George Karak????????

I was just strumming to Runaway with my "Bon Jovi Chord Songbook" and it quotes

"Runaway, words and music by Jon Bon Jovi and George Karak"

Who the hell is he????

And no, its not the author either before any of wise cracking boogers say anything. I know what you lot are like

The co-writer of Runaway?

Keep On Rockin'

you can listen to his version of runaway on that site too

Well You learn something new everyday. I had no idea that someone else co wrote Runaway

The story goes like this George Karak made the biggest blunder in rock and roll history . He was playing with John Bonjovi in the early 80s and writing some music together He showed john the song Runaway that was written and copyrighted in 1981 by George. John put his touch on it and got it played on WAPP and won the contest . Jon did not no the song was copyrighted before he met George who could have been the bass player in Bon Jovi. When Jon got the record deal George had to sign over 50% of it to John or the record deal would not have happened. George wanted to be johns boss of the band and had a fight and was not let in the band. i do not know why VH1 does not do a show like The guy who could of been a Beatle Pete Best. John did not need George he blew away Runaway many times with other tunes.

Well, if you owned a physical copy of the first album, you would've known.

He's the guy whom JBJ owed his career to. No Runaway = No The Circle.
