“These Eyes” (Jr. Walker) #16 12/27/1969

Junior Walker was known for some seriously raucous tunes like “Shotgun” and “(I’m A) Road Runner.” So when his producer, Johnny Bristol, suggested he do some romantic ballads, it came as a bit of a shock. “What Does It Take (To Win Your Love)” proved Junior could pull it off. He did it again here with a very soulful remake of the Guess Who hit from earlier in the year.
