Michael Brown, the initial guiding force behind influential 1960s pop act the Left Banke, has died, the group's Tom Finn announced on Facebookon Thursday.

This is one group that I really connected with as a youth. Their mix of folk, rock, and baroque influences really make a huge impact in how we (I) perceived music at that time.

Walk Away Renee was a HUGE hit but this wonderful song.... Pretty Ballerina, really rocked my world.

Sad to know these people are moving on.

I listen to this song quite a lot. It makes me smile.....

Walk Away Renee is the most masterfully produced pop/rock number I know of. Whoever did it took off-key vocals, mixed them with a kinda saccharine accompaniment, and created a masterpiece. I never get tired of listening to it.
