The Left Banke Biography

The Left Banke was a 1960s American pop-music group best remembered for its two hit singles, "Walk Away Renee" and "Pretty Ballerina". The band often utilized what was referred to as "baroque" string arrangements, which led its music to be termed "Bach-rock". The band's use of harmonies saw it compared to contemporaries such as The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Zombies, and other British Invasion groups. In 2004, Rolling Stone placed "Walk Away Renee" at number 220 in the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
