Motown at it's BEST.
"Walk Away Renée" is a song made popular by the band The Left Banke in 1966 (single release: July 1966, Smash Records, title printed as "Walk Away Renee"), composed by the group's then 16-year-old keyboard player Michael Brown (real name Michael Lookofsky) and Tony Sansone. Bob Calilli is also credited as a writer, though he didn't actually write any of the lyrics or music - he received credit in exchange for setting up the session in which the writing stage of the song was completed.[citation needed] The song was also a chart hit for the Motown group The Four Tops[1] in 1968.

In my opinion, the mark of a great singer or singing group, Is when they can do a cover of a popular song, and you have to decide which version you like the better, the original or the cover. LOL The Four Tops were indeed Motown's Royalty!
