Does anyone know who originally sang "walk on by"?

Answer 1

"Walk on By" is a song composed by Burt Bacharach and lyrics by Hal David for soul/pop singer Dionne Warwick. It was recorded at the same December, 1963 session that yielded "Anyone Who Had A Heart" which would in 1964 become Warwick's first Top Ten hit. Released in April 1964, "Walk On By" became a landmark single and Warwick's signature song in spite of the fact that she has had more than two dozen hits in her career. The single reached number six on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

Like many of Warwick's 1960s Bacharach-composed singles, it was heavily covered in different ways, most notably by funk/soul musician Isaac Hayes, whose 1969 cover on his groundbreaking album Hot Buttered Soul was transformed into a twelve-and-a-half minute funk vamp breaking ground for singles to release songs surpassing five minutes. In 1982, funk singer D-Train recorded an R&B hit with the song mixing up Warwick's and Hayes' versions. In 1990, singer Sybil, who had scored her biggest hit a year prior with a cover of Warwick's "Don't Make Me Over", also scored an R&B hit with this song.
