"Walk On By" is a song written byBurt Bacharach andHal David for singerDionne Warwick in 1963.[7] Warwick's recording of the song peaked at number 6 on the USBillboard Hot 100 and number 1 on the Cash Box Rhythm and Blues Chart In June 1964 and was nominated for a 1965 Grammy Award for the Best Rhythm and Blues Recording.

Isaac Hayes recorded the song five years later, in 1969, and his version reached number 30 on the Hot 100 chart and number 13 in the R&B charts.[8] "Walk On By" has since charted numerous times in various countries, with wildly different arrangements, as noted below.

In 1998, the 1964 release byDionne Warwick onScepter Records was inducted into theGrammy Hall of Fame.[9]

Dionne Warwick original version (1964)

[edit]

The original version of "Walk On By" byDionne Warwick was recorded atBell Sound Studios in New York City,[10] the same late November/early December 1963 session that yielded her hit "Anyone Who Had a Heart". "Walk On By" was the follow-up to that single, released in April 1964 and reaching number 6 on theU.S.Billboard Hot 100 and number 1 on theCashbox'sR&B chart.[11] (Billboard did not print rhythm and blues charts during 1964, the year of the song's peak performance.) The song also reached the top 10 in a run onBillboard's easy listening survey. The song was ranked number 51 on theRolling Stone list ofThe 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[12] "Walk On By" became Warwick's second international million seller, following "Anyone Who Had A Heart" in January 1964. Warwick also recorded a German version of the song, titled "Geh vorbei".[13]

Session drummerGary Chester[14] played on this recording as did session bassistRuss Savakus.[15] Other musicians includedArtie Butler on organ,Paul Griffin on piano, Irwin Markowitz and Ernie Royal on trumpet, Bill Suyker and Allen Hanlon on guitar, Max Pollikoff, Charles McCracken,Eugene Orloff, Julius Held, and George Ockner on violin, Harold Coletta on viola, Lucien Schmit on cello,Paul Winter on saxophone, and George Devens on percussion.

In 2023, Warwick's recording was sampled byDoja Cat for her single "Paint the Town Red". It reached number one on the Hot 100 on the issue dated September 16, 2023, marking the first time Warwick's voice appeared at number one since 1986's Year-end chart performance of "That's What Friends Are For".[16]

In 1978,the Stranglers recorded a version of "Walk on By" which reached No. 21 on theUK Singles Chart.[29] This six-minute version of the song features extendedHammond organ and guitar solos which Gene Becker ofAllMusic likened tothe Doors' "Light My Fire".[30] A music video was produced for the single, parodyingMichelangelo Antonioni's 1966 filmBlowup. As with key sequences of the film, the Stranglers video was filmed largely in London'sMaryon Park.[31] The single's chart performance may have been impaired by the fact that an EP featuring the song had been given away with the first 75,000 copies of the band's albumBlack and White.
