This classic needs no introduction. Walk On By (US: Scepter Records U.K.: Pye International 7” 1964) is a song composed by Burt Bacharach, with lyrics by Hal David, for singer Dionne Warwick in 1963. Note the unusual instrumental break with ascending vocal line. The original and the best.
We conclude with something modern. Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever are a Melbourne, Australia based indie rock band formed in 2013. Sister's Jeans & How Long?, both from their debut LP Hope Downs (Sub Pop 2018). Next week is Christmas. Merry Christmas and I'll see you in the new year.
