Was never a huge fan of the Motown outfit, but did like their version of the song "How sweet it is" and "Walki in the night" was ok.

Road runner on the TV ad is not by Junior Walker - it's a cover.

 

My faves were How Sweet It Is and Way Back Home

 

His haunting sax is just brilliant

yeah i just used it as the inspiration to mention him in a new thread :)

 

agreed about his haunting sax... abit of a trademark..

I only really know Roadrunner and Walk In The Night, I like both songs. The latter was still being played on many soul shows on radio a few years back.
