DON'T WALK AWAY - General Johnson

[remicks]

*****


On Marky's charts for the last five weeks
Denver Colorado has singularly found a club favorite off of General Johnson's first solo effort LP on Arista:

78) DON'T WALK AWAY - General Johnson
(Arista LP: 4:12/ 12" single: ???) P: General Johnson & Rick Chertoff // W: G. Johnson
3 points/ 1 chart = Denver
BDA Top 40: n/c
DCC chart: 5 weeks on chart // Last week: #79 (+1)

To my ears the song has a pleasant (yet sad) , somewhat of a throw-back, Spinners /Thom Bell feel to it ....
