walk away issues

"Walk Away Renée" is a song written by Michael Brown, Bob Calilli, and Tony Sansone for the band the Left Banke, released as a single in July 1966. Steve Martin Caro is featured on lead vocals. It spent 13 weeks on the US charts, with a top spot of No. 5. The song has been widely considered a quintessence of the baroque pop genre. As musician Marshall Crenshaw explained, "There's something about 'Walk Away Renee' that's one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard, just in terms of provoking an emotional reaction."
In 2005, Rolling Stone placed it at No. 220 in the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The track returned to nationwide charts with cover versions by the Four Tops (1967), Southside Johnny and the Jukes (1986) and Rick Price (1993). It also featured on the Rickie Lee Jones 1983 e.p. "Girl at Her Volcano".
