Walk on by... foolish pride



As more and more tributes pour out to the genius that was Hal David, who died today, I am reminded of possibly my favourite "alternative" cover of one of the great man's classics.

Here for your delectation is the fabulous Miss Deborah Evans-Stickland (of Flying Lizards fame), in collaboration with another musical genius Richard X, and her immaculate version of Walk On By:


Sublime.

    A couple of weeks ago, I was listening to the ultra-long Isaac Hayes version … on vinyl!

      You have stamina, MJ! I imagine many people might have "walked on by" long before the twelve minutes was up... Jx

    No offense, darling, but it sort of sounded like "Patsy Stone".
