  • This is my favourite Rippingtons cut. It's so smooth...it doesn't even touch the sides. Patti Austin is in fine form and produces one of the great vocal lines. It's addictive!

    I have so many great memories listening to this. So much brilliance from Russ and The Rippington's family.

    For me, Patti Austin's vocals adds an extra humanizing dimension to the story that's being told.

    Not one note or sound out of place... how can that be? And far from just being empirically good, it moves my soul too; the beauty of not just the melody, but also that simple and tender arrangement delivering it... And that inspired extended ending from 4:12 is the best part for me! Just takes me away each time... Not surprised that this comes from the house of Grusin, the man who irrevocably changed my relationship with music. #rediscoveringtherippingtons

    Me, too! Welcome to the St. James Club is my favorite Rippingtons album of all, and "I Watched Her Walk Away" is my favorite cut. This album was a big part of the soundtrack of my grad-school experience where I really did watch her walk away (with this song playing in my head). :'(

    In the late 1980s KKSF Radio produced their KKSF Sampler CDs for AIDS Relief. That San Francisco radio station no longer exists as such, but that easy listening sound of the Bay Area remains for many of us a great memory. This wonderful song brings back those near perfect days beautifully.

    This is the soundtrack of the 90's for me. I love this cut with it's silky smooth groove. The entire album is perfect.
    To this day I still listen to Welcome To The St. James Club.

    One of the most beautiful smooth jazz tunes ever created. "I Watched Her Walk Away" is a recognition that a man watching the woman leave is really strong, and life does bring ups and downs but standing and watching without a fight puts a man above the others.

    As Soft As A Feather Bed. Such Class. You Know Something, This Song/Tune Has Meant
    The World To Me In My Life Of Ups & Downs, Happy & Sad, If There Was A Song/Tune I
    Could Take With Me Into The Next Life, This Would Be That Heavenly Piece Along With
    Pat Metheny's "Travels" And Yes, I'm Also Beginning To Feel That Long Over Due Solitary
    Tear Gently On Its Downward Travels, Its Natural To Become A Little Overwhelmed When
    You've Spent 20Yrs Searching & Looking, Never Knowing Who The Artist Was.
    This Track Has Made Today Just Magic. Cheers SPTAH, Good Job.

    First time I heard this was on the now defunct KTWV 94.7, The Wave in Los Angeles. This song and the album was one of the highlights of listening to that station. I do miss The Wave, a lot. They had a good run from 1987 until they went off-air in the 2000s. A good number of my album and CD collection are from artists they often played at that station.
