    How many times has the song 'Walk On By' been released by different artists?

    Question #60543. Asked by base_hex. (Nov 14 05 10:07 AM)


    ajdale

    		"Walk On By" has charted un the UK by five different artists:
    Leroy Van Dyke (#5, Jan '62)
    Dionne Warwick (#9, Apr '64)
    Stranglers (#21, Aug '78)
    Sybil (#6, Jan '90)
    Gabrielle (#7, Feb '97)

    Interestingly the Leroy Van Dyke hit is a completely different song from the more well-known Dionne Warwick number. I'm not familiar with the other versions....

    		There are a large number of songs called "Walk On By" including different songs performed by Gareth Gates, Britney Spears, Fat Joe and Cake (no, I've not heard those last two either).
    The Bacharach-David standard has been recorded by various artists in addition to the most famous version by Dionne Warwick and the well-known Gabrielle cover.
    All mentioned by AJDale, except for the Leroy Van Dyke one were versions of that. Further down in the UK charts was The Average White Band (#46, Apr 79).
    A quick Google will reveal that others such as Melanie Thorne and Aretha Franklin have had versions that may have bothered US or other charts but not the UK's.

    The classic Burt Bacharach song "Walk On By" has been covered many times by various artists. I am sure that I heard a version done in the 70's or 80's, by a band similar to Naked Eyes (but obviously not them). Does anyone know of this version and who the artist was?

    Besides "Spirit in the Sky" has any song gone number one three times by three different artists?

    Which song has been recorded or covered the highest number of times by various artists?

    This is about the song "2112" alone, not the rest of the album or anything else Rush-related. The epic more than deserves special attention! Questions 1-10 are mainly about the events in the song, 11-15 about the song itself, and 16-20 are lyrics.
