We did "walking" songs yesterday on M⁴, and there are few that got missed (at least, I think so), so I thought I’d feature more "walking" songs the rest of the week.
2 of Clubs was a singing group out of Cincinnati that teamed Linda Parrish and Patti Valentine. They met while Patti was singing at the nightclub Guys and Dolls. They did a few records, none of which seemed to chart (except in the Chicago area, oddly enough), and were ready to come out with an album until Linda and Carl Edmonson, her husband (who was also their producer), got a divorce. "Walk Tall (Like A Man)" reached #92 on the Hot 100 in late 1966.
Ughh…my post didn’t take . I thought they sounded a bit like the Beatles when they started the refrain. I never heard this song before.

There are some acts that just don’t catch on everywhere. This song was popular in Chicago, I remember, though I can’t seem to find it on any surveys from WLS or WCFL. I’ll have to check again. And by the way, the original comment showed up; you can see it under this one….

I never heard of this song. It sounded a bit Beatles when they start the refrain of you walk tall, like a man.
