Walk Away Renée

Right

... and, you know, just, like, incorporate things into their music that would, would've been unthinkable before, string quartets, and, you know, a record like Walk Away Renee would not have been possible with, you know, without The Beatles coming first.

And-

Yeah

I mean, it, it's so inspiring, and it's, and it really got me to explore even deeper, and that's what I love about what, what you're doing here.

I mean, because, I mean, when, w- all the years that I have played Walk Away Renee, did I ever think that this was a true crime song? Never.

Well-

Never

That whole thing in Minneapolis happened.

I have family out there, you know, and there's a, you know, it's personal with me.

And, you know, I, it just, we, I, I looked at Julie, I said, "You know, I, I, something keeps telling me to listen to Walk Away Renee."

Mm-hmm.

Still found a way to haunt me.

And that was Left Bank with Walk Away Renee that was written by keyboard player Michael Brown.

Now, Michael had the inspiration of this from a girl by the name of Renee Fladden, the girlfriend of another member of the group.

and he was so taken with her that his feelings inspired both Walk Away Renee and another Left Bank song, Pretty Ballerina.

I wonder if that caused any problems in the group.

Nancy Sinatra had released many records, but nothing became a hit.

Oh, gosh.

I mean, we do l- For example, we'll do Walk Away Renee.

Okay.

We'll do, uh, What's Your Name.
