Written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, Dionne Warwick's 1964 hit "Walk on By" is as beautiful as it is relatable, with lyrics that tell the story of a woman who doesn't want her ex to see her cry:
"Walk on By" went to #6 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it Warwick's biggest hit at that point in her career. It's no surprise that years later, music lovers are just as in love with the tune as ever. It was ranked #51 on Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time," while Billboard placed it at #44 on their list of the "Top 100 Breakup Songs of All Time," praising the song for its ability to comfort and heal: "Even when you feel like falling apart, Warwick’s timeless hit will help you keep it moving."
"Walk on By" took tenth place on Time Out New York's list of "50 Best Breakup Songs," with the article calling Warwick the "perfect interpreter" for songwriting team Bacharach and David, noting that her "breezy style made the duo’s character-driven, rhythmically challenging tunes sound deceptively simple."
