Mr. Walker, It's All Over

"Mr. Walker, It's All Over" is a song written by Gene Crysler that was originally recorded by American country artist, Billie Jo Spears.

It was released as a single via Capitol Records and reached the top ten of North American country charts in 1969.

Several recordings by Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette that reflected a woman's point of view had become country music commercial successes.

[2][3][4] The song described how a New York City secretary stands up against sexual harassment and discrimination in the work place.

Walker, It's All Over' found crossover success in its time and deserves further consideration 50 years later as one of popular culture's boldest statements against sexual harassment in the workplace.

"[3] Richie Unterberger spoke of the song in reviewing Spears's album of the same name: "The title track of Billie Jo Spears's 1969 LP Mr. Walker, It's All Over was a big country hit, and it guaranteed a big audience in the small towns that form much of the backbone of the country listenership with its sassy put down of the New York lifestyle.
