Snap. I guess we need to hire us some fact-checkers. That sucks. And it totally reinvents Gold’s musical world. I’m here for you friend.

This is why I’m not in politics.

So, either I need to re-up the post with new info, or say it’s all Booker T. to me. I don’t know, Tim. I don’t know.

Nice article, and I hate to burst your bubble, but the MGs are not on “Walk on By”. Booker had just left or was soon to leave Stax, Cropper left soon after this too. That’s The Bar-Kays. Hayes, himself is probably on keys (or Rufus’s son Marvell Thomas), Blues Brother Willie Hall is on drums, and that great guitar is very likely Charles “Skip” Pitts, the wah-wah great who’s also on “Shaft” and remained close to Hayes till his passing.

Whoa. I jsut met a guy whose favorite song is Buffalo Stance. Weird coincidence. Weird choice for favorite song ever. I’m guessing the best times of your lives were in roller rinks.

also, I’m pretty sure Jens Lekman samples Glen Campbell here on “Maple Leaves”:

Yeah, I’m thinking of this post as the start of a series of “Best Songs Ever.” You always said this was your favorite, but could you conceive of a post on my all time fave, “Buffalo Stance” by Neneh Cherry? The gauntlet hath been thrown…

Gold, that post killed it. I think we’re hitting our stride here. And I’m going to go ahead and say that Isaac Hayes’ version of “Walk On By” is maybe the greatest recorded song in all of pop music. Do what you want with that.
