John PaganoGUEST
Great vocals.
John PaganoGUEST
And just the fact that, you know, younger people might learn something that, you know, that maybe the Doja Cat song that they thought was great really had Walk on By in it, which was written by Burt Bacharach.
John PaganoGUEST
And they might learn that if they come see it.
John PaganoGUEST
And the older people, I think I'd love to see them enjoying and having memories of when they met and know this is the song and our first dance in our wedding and things like that.
Tim SullivanGUEST

Theo DelaneyHOST
I love this song and I love this version walk on by the Stranglers
Leslie CavendishGUEST
okay so absolutely so the Stranglers I quite liked because I didn't quite understand their music but what I did understand was a band that I think they looked on as somebody that they liked was The Doors
Theo DelaneyHOST
yeah
Leslie CavendishGUEST
keyboard sound.
Leslie CavendishGUEST
And when I heard...
Leslie CavendishGUEST
We all know Dionne Warwick, Cilla Black, Walk On By.
Leslie CavendishGUEST
But again, folks, if you want to hear a different version of that,
Colin Jackson-BrownHOST
So this is one of the four tracks on Hot-Buttered Soul, which is an absolutely phenomenal record.
Colin Jackson-BrownHOST
I almost went with the opening track, which is a 12-minute long cover of Bacharach and Davies' Walk On By with Howard Bean from Funkadelic on lead guitar.
Colin Jackson-BrownHOST
I went with this track in the end because it's got such an amazing groove to it, whereas Walk On By is a lot more subdued.
Colin Jackson-BrownHOST
um the backing band on this record is is um the bar case and uh the groove between like willie hall's drums and james alexander's bass is one of the funkiest things ever recorded um i bought this album when i was i was in a massive sort of funk and soul phase in like the early 2000s and i kept reading about how massively important this album is um i'd already bought the shaft soundtrack and was really disappointed by it because apart from the title track It's all quite because it's a soundtrack.
Colin Jackson-BrownHOST
It's all quite short
TraceyHOST
The album is odd, though, isn't it? I mean, yeah, just them four songs.
TraceyHOST
And actually, you'd go and listen to the whole thing because it's just them four songs.
TraceyHOST
The Walk On By was all right.
JadeHOST
Yo, because let me tell you, the way that nigga took Dionne Warwick's song and made a brand new, incredible song out of an already very good song.
JadeHOST
Walk on by, Isaac Hayes' Walk On By.
JadeHOST
if you see me walking down the street and i start to cry each time we meet walk on

JeffHOST
One of my favorite songs off the album, Toiler on the Sea, was about a turbulent, exhausting journey of a difficult romantic relationship.
JeffHOST
In 1978, the Stranglers recorded a version of 60s Burt Bacharach-penned Walk On By, which reached number 21 on the UK singles chart.
JeffHOST
This six-minute version of the song features extended Hammond organ and guitar solos, which Gene Becker of All Music likened to The Doors' Light My Fire.
JeffHOST
The band also recorded a version of Sweden sung in Swedish called Sveriges, I'm not sure I'm pronouncing that right, and it was released in Sweden.
80s mixtaperHOST
The record became a hit, and she simply decided to keep the typo for the rest of her professional life.
80s mixtaperHOST
Over the next decade, the Bacharach-David-Warwick partnership defined the sound of sophisticated 1960s pop soul, churning out historic masterworks like Walk On By, I Say a Little Prayer, and Do You Know the Way to San Jose? However, as we know, pop careers are famously fragile and often impacted by the whims of others.
80s mixtaperHOST
In the early 1970s, Bacharach and David acrimoniously dissolved their partnership, leaving Warwick professionally stranded and legally entangled.
80s mixtaperHOST
A temporary commercial salvation arrived in 1974 when she secured her very first Billboard Hot 100 number one by teaming up with the soul group The Spinners for the smash Then Came You.
John StillHOST
[laughs]
Luca ScottHOST
Walk On By.
John StillHOST
I genuinely don't know.
John StillHOST
You could just be making that up, but, uh, I will believe you.
Danny BeardsleyHOST
But then we moved on to a different song, which I think you picked.
Danny BeardsleyHOST
Walk On By.
Danny BeardsleyHOST
It was a cover, wasn't it? Yeah.
Danny BeardsleyHOST
Yeah,
