What few know is that, catchy as the ventures Walk, Don't Run, is, it's just a pop imitation of the greater original by the great jazz guitarist Johnny Smith from a decade earlier
Good call. That certainly is the superior version of that tune.
It's fun to compare all the different versions of the songs these bands did.
The correct answer is Dick Dale and the Del-Tones. Could also mention Link Wray and the Raymen.
Telstar is not a patch on Apache, by the way 😄
However all those previously listed couldn’t hold a candle to The Skatalites, especially if consistency of output is one of the mitigating factors. They really deserve far more love than they get round these parts...
Totally forgot about Link Wray. Or the Del-Tones.
Didn't know Skatalites did instrumental work as well. Cool.
