Southside Johnny did a pretty good rendition of that song too.

A truly bittersweet story behind the song. And René was (as is) a real person...

Oh my gosh. Walk Away Renee is about my favorite tune from that time. The production is a little primitive but it’s gorgeous anyway.
71? I was surprised - I thought he’d be so much older.
Still reeling here from the loss of Peart so of course news of Caro has brought me to tears.

I’m from that time, and I remember the song well. Everyone and everything in that world is quickly passing.

Songs like this remind me of how fortunate I was to be alive in the ‘60s.

The Left Banke (it has an "e"on the ende). Mike Brown, who died in the past few years, met another bandmember's girlfriend -- her name was Renee, and she wa a ballerina -- and wrote "Walk Away Renee", "Pretty Ballerina", and "She May Call You Up Tonight" as a result of the encounter.

I think he was 17 when he sang on “Walk Away Renee.” A beautiful song. R.I.P.

I once knew a girl named Renee from Caro, Michigan.
Strange coincidence.

Steve sang 'Walk Away Renee' when he was 16 years old.
Here's another (unexpected) 16 year old singer.
