"Walk Away Renée" is a classic baroque pop song originally recorded by The Left Banke in 1966 and famously covered by the Motown group The Four Tops. The cover first appeared on their July 1967 album Reach Out. It was later released as a single on January 18, 1968.
It was a major international success, peaking at #14 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and #3 on the UK Singles Chart. The track was produced by the legendary Motown team Holland–Dozier–Holland and featured the signature powerful lead vocals of Levi Stubbs.
Background vocals were provided by the other Four Tops members and The Andantes, with musical backing from The Funk Brothers. To broaden their international appeal, the group recorded an Italian version of the song titled "L'Arcobaleno" ("The Rainbow") in March 1968.
