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.
