another little-sung favorite

Post by Steve Schenck »

As a young man, I had only heard Burt's orchestral version of this song, and didn't know for some time that Dionne had sung it as well. I think it's a terrific piece with a breezy Brazilian feel. In this video, unfortunately, the original posting person has put a weird voice over towards the end - I'm guessing to prevent people from copying it. Anyway, here it is, and I'd love to hear what the rest of the gang thinks about it. I'm sure everyone has heard it before. "Walk the Way You Talk"

Yes, I like Dionne's version and Burt's isn't bad either.

But the first version I heard and the one that remains my favourite is by Sergio Mendes and Brazil '77.

Somehow, it just seems to groove along effortlessly.
