Description:

Released on Epic Records in 1968, “Breakin’ Down the Walls of Heartache” is one of Johnny Johnson & the Bandwagon’s most enduring hits, particularly in the U.K., where it became a Northern Soul favorite. Written by Teddy Randazzo and Bobby Weinstein, the song combines lush strings, bright horn punctuations, and a tight rhythm section, framing Johnson’s impassioned, high-tenor lead vocal.

The track blends Motown polish with the emotional intensity of Philly soul, creating a sweeping, danceable ballad. Its timeless chorus, layered harmonies, and compelling beat cemented it as a Northern Soul classic and a must-have for collectors and DJs alike.
