Citizen P Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 if you stood there for like 30 minutes it was isaac hayes Bleedin' Hell, Do you REALLY think Webby could stand still for 30 minutes Tony
Premium Stuff Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) Hi Webby - how you doing? The best long version of Walk on By for me is by the Stranglers off the white EP that came free with the Black & White album - awesome bass playing from Jean Jacques Burnell (who is also pretty damned good at karate ). Vocals by Hugh Cornwell. Cheers Richard Edited May 22, 2010 by Premium Stuff
Premium Stuff Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 I didn't reckon it was them really Webby but I do rate that Stranglers' version - pretty much like the Doors really with a punky edge. Have you checked Refosoul? Cheers! Richard
Premium Stuff Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 Have you checked Refosoul? Cheers! Richard What about this mate? ISAAC HAYES - WALK ON BY - STAX LP - Cheers Richard

Maybe it was the supermarket manager telling you to get out the shop. Stu.
Douglaschip Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 D Train - did a version of this in the 80's that might sound quite modern!!!
Guest Matt Male Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) Seal did a version. Not bad. BTW i think D-Train's version is shite. Edited May 22, 2010 by Matt Male
Premium Stuff Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 Which supermarket was it anyway Webby? SoulSupermarket? Ouch - groan - sorry, that was really, really bad Cheers Richard
Guest Matt Male Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 Don't think it was Seal it was a bit acoustic! Average White Band? I can't think of any more male versions. Seal's is fairly minimal.
Guest DeeJay Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 Was in the supermarket today and heard a version of 'Walk On By' by a fella.....and l stopped searching for 'Salady Stuff' and stood there and listened to it all....Thought it was really good....Who was it?? I used to dj in a "trendy" wine bar in Leeds, in the 80's. A version of walk on by i used to enjoy playing was by Smith & Mighty. Not that common but you should be able to find it Theres a few different mixes some not so good as the others I think i used to play the original it used to go down quite well I really liked it and lent it to another dj from another club Said he'd bring it back the following week I haven't seen it since : ( I have searched for it now and again would like to get it back some day. Having said all this, i doubt if it's the one you heard. If it is, Supermarkets are getting way too errr something not trendy cos it's an old choon ---but something. DJ

The answer to your question is simple . Go back into the said supermarket today ( the store is open from 6 AM this morning until Midnight tonight ) , go up to the manager's office - Mr. Eddie Byrne - and ask him for the details of the music that was played in the store yesterday . He might give you a strange look - but I am sure that you will be used to that Phil - but I am sure that he will help with the respective information If you cannot get in personally , ring him on 01 6795422 .

TheBigO Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 Ok well the only Modernish versions that have slipped past by my player in recent years are Mike Mcdonald; Paul Carrack and Steve Tyrell, all good versions but for me the one is Gloria Gaynors version that I used to spin in the Starlight Romm Morecombe allnighters in the 80's - now theres a TOON!

DJ I BOUGHT D TRAIN AND SMITH & MIGHTY AS NEW RELEASES. STILL LIKE D TRAIN BUT SMITH AND MIGHTY NOT BEEN OUT OF THE SLEEVE IN 20 ODD YEARS. ALSO BOUGHT ANYONE WHO HAD A HEART BY THEM AS WELL. NOT SURE HOW I FAIR WITH THEM IN 2010.I WILL HAVE TO DIG THEM OUT AND GIVE EM A LISTEN DAVE Edited May 23, 2010 by dave pinch
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 Seal did a version. Not bad. BTW i think D-Train's version is shite. ... You're having a laugh aren't you Matt? D Train's version is fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And this is coming from someone who thinks that Dionne Warwick is quite possibly the greatest female singer of the past 50 years. Those D-Train albums are all fantastic, I can't think of a single bad track on any of them. And most certainly not 'Walk On By'!
Guest Darks Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 Lou Johnson? Superb version. Aretha's is good as well but the original is the greatest. Regards Alan

Soul Shrews Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 Strangely no mention of The Dells version in that list Chalky ? Best version for me (after the original) From their LP "The Dells Sing Dionne Warwickes Greatest Hits" also on 45 Cheers Paul

Best version for me (after the original) From their LP "The Dells Sing Dionne Warwickes Greatest Hits" also on 45 Cheers Paul Hi Paul, I've noticed before in other listings versions not being listed, not totally sure how the licensing malarky works, sure someone will tell us. Can't for the life of me remember the OJays, or some of the others mentioned.
Chalky Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 Why are you talking in a funny language?? P.S. It's gone now.......No it wasn't me!! I'll have what you've had
Guest Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 Just watched DW sing( or should l say mime it) on Pebble Mill and l always thought everything from there was 'Live' Everything on Pebble mill was pre recorded Phil , even down to that weather man on the floating map : that was done three days in advance .......

My fav version by far....
Guest Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 (edited) Did you make a return trip to Supervalu and see Eddie Byrne , or ring him Phil ? My original reply might have appeared TIC , but Supervalu , like other retail outlets, location or premises where music is played and can be heard by the public , have to keep a documented record ( no pun intended ) of what is played as part of the regulations stipulated in their PRS Music Licence Please visit or give him a bell : the nation is waiting with baited breath and is expecting you to to find out who the mysterious " Walk On By " vocalist is . Is this thread leading up to a Supemarket themed one ? If so , can we expect contemplatable topics like " What are your three favourite aisles ? " Remember - the nation is waiting .................... and you never know - you could meet a pretty lass at the bus stop Malc Burton Edited May 24, 2010 by Malc Burton

Probably Michael McDonald...good enough to make you stop and listen....probably look a pillock though swaying in time in the veggie' aisle ..Seal's also done a good version (S&K Mix) Edited May 25, 2010 by stevejan
Reg Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Supervalu....Aston Quay.... Supervalu...they are part of Musgraves Retail Partners? I do IT for them - tills that kind of thing. Why don't you email them and ask them. group@musgrave.ie Maybe they have in-store radio like the Co-op or it could be a set CD like somebody else said. It may not even be anybody famous-bit like those old Top of the Pops lps in the 70s.
Little-stevie Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 It could be one of them types of tracks you got on 2 quid cds from supermarkets and petrol stations. . Not sure who did these cds but they had classic tracks done by different folks.. I thought 2 quid was pushing it with reagards to quality, i thougth 50p was pushing it to be honest.... These type of cd are quite popular among supermarkets i hear..
Guest topcatnumpty1 Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Phil---my old North Yorks/Co Durham bud---i thinl you,ll find it,s Kevin Coyne on U.K. Virgin and i,ve just had a listen it,s ace!!!!!! ---Queen,s hall downstairs lives on!!!! T.C.
Guest Trevski Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 (edited) Try spotify. Lots of versions on there to listen to, if you search for 'Walk on by" Even Gareth Gates! Edited May 25, 2010 by Trevski
NEV Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Howdo Phil Probably not this one but worth a listen https://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=25714202
