(5 out of 5 stars)

""THE WALK," BY JIMMY MCRACKLIN AND "RINYK DINK," BY DAVE "BABY" CORTEZ ARE TWO OF MY FAVORITES! I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD FIND THE ORIGINAL SONGS AGAIN. ALL I WOULD FIND WERE REMAKES. THEY DON'T SOUND VERY GOOD TO ME. I ONLY LOVE THE ORIGINALS! I THANK AMAZON.COM FOR CARRYING THIS ITEM AND I SUGGEST YOU BUY IT SOON....IF YOU ALREADY HAVE NOT!"
