Guitarists Don Wilson and Bob Bogle of Seattle recorded the song. Wilson’s mother, Josie, “financed ‘Walk Don’t Run,’ helped market it and gave the group its name…A state champion wrestler in his high school days, Wilson brought an athletic approach to his instrument that helped define the group’s sound” (Gary Eskow, Mix, 2016).
