Step 1 : Introduction to the question " What American rock band had a hit with the song, 'Walk This Way'? "
...
"Walk This Way" is a song by the American rock band Aerosmith. Written by Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, the song was originally released as the second single from the album 'Toys in the Attic' (1975). It peaked at number 10 on the 'Billboard ' Hot 100 in early 1977, part of a string of successful hit singles for the band in the 1970s.
The song is about a promiscuous cheerleader who leads a schoolboy through his first sexual experience. It's an extremely sexual song that played perfectly to Aerosmith's young male fan base.
It was covered by hip hop group Run-D.M.C., in collaboration with Aerosmith, on their 1986 album 'Raising Hell'. It became an international hit, reaching number 4 on the 'Billboard' charts and becoming the first hip hop single to reach the top five on the charts, and won both groups a Soul Train Music Award for Best Rap Single in 1987 Soul Train Music Awards. Both versions are in the Grammy Hall of Fame.
