Gene McDaniels - Walk With A Winner [with lyrics]

Recently discovered this song and can't stop playing it! It was only released as a 7" single in 1965. Ten years later it made it's first LP appearance on the 'Very Best of Gene McDaniels' on United Artists Records (who bought out Liberty Records). No known stereo version was ever released.

Eugene Daniels is at his crooning best with just a touch soul and some jazz styling on this single. Unfortunately this record got lost in the current trends of the time in pop music. Legal wranglings between Gene and Liberty Records effectively succeeded of having no chart action and having little to no airplay in the U.S.

For several years, his record company wanted him to maintain a squeaky clean wholesome image while Gene wanted to be a little more soulful with cool and subtle sexy crooning. This record was the closest to that realization.

The song is catchy, Gene was a crooner for sure but what is the greatest thing in this video are the dancing girls in the background...they're so good, too bad a zoom camera wasn't put on them!
