Geh Vorbei (Walk On By)

Dionne Warwick

Vogue, 1965

Geh Vorbei (Walk On By)Dionne Warwick
00:00 / 02:47

Geh vorbei is the little-known German version of Dionne Warwick’s Walk On By, recorded by Warwick herself—a true oddity in pop history. This obscure cover hides in the shadow of the original, yet offers a fascinating glimpse into 1960s industry logic: export hits by translating them, even if the singer barely speaks the language. 


The result? Warwick’s smooth delivery meets slightly stiff German phrasing, creating a strangely beautiful hybrid of soul and Schlager vibes. A cult-worthy deep cut for pop archaeology nerds.
