    As a Brit I can tell you Scott Walker was huge in the 60s and has the most beautiful voice. They had a string of hits and it was the production that helped make the songs ampliphying Scott's voice. Unfortuntaely he had a nervous breakdown of sorts and became a recluse as he aged. You were not too wrong with your comments the Walker Brothers moved to London to make it big. My personal favourite is No Regrets.

      Yes his voice was incredible but this song practically mask how good it is, my favorite is their cover of Make it Easy on Yourself, but if you really want to hear the greatness of Scott’s voice give a listen to “Joanna” or “What are you doing the rest of your life.” Incredible, too bad no one reacts to those.

    Oh, my goodness, this song was so huge in my youth. You guys know when you're a teenager in love. Especially when your teenager in love and that love comes to an end. It actually leaves an imprint on you. Like many other songs during your late teen years. And I'm talking about each and every generation, not this specific one. No matter at what time in history, you are in your teens. That will always be songs that hit you. That way and always will for the rest of your life every time you hear them.

    Modeled after the Righteous Brothers/Phil Spector “Wall of Sound,” they were MASSIVE in the UK. So much so that Scott Walker began to detest the screaming teenie boppers ripping at their clothes and hair. He was the first one to quit the group in despair and disappointment. What audiences didn’t know about him, besides his good looks and phenomenal voice, was that he was a true artist. Thankfully, he went solo and put out 4 incredible LPs, culminating with his masterpiece “Scott 4.” A true artist was born out of those albums.

    Scott Walker(Noel Scott Engel) was actually born in Ohio. He left The Walker Brothers in 1967. He was also a big influence on David Bowie, and other giants of the music industry. He went on to influence the future of modern music with his experimental excursions. There are documentaries out there worth watching.

    This song was written by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio (of The Four Seasons) in July 1965, and it was first released by Frankie Valli as a single in August 1965, with limited success. The Walker Brothers version was released in 1966, and it became their highest rated song on The Billboard Hot 100 chart at #13 in the United States.
    Jay and Amber, you should give a listen to the instrumental, “Music To Watch Girls By.” Amber would love this instrumental as it is horn driven. Then you should listen to the same titled song, with lyrics as sung by Andy Williams, one of your favorite Crooners.

    The Walker Brothers were an American pop group formed in Los Angeles in 1964 by John Maus (known professionally as John Walker) and Noel Scott Engel (known professionally as Scott Walker), and soon after joined by Gary Leeds (Gary Walker). They adopted the 'Walker Brothers' name as a show business touch even though none of the members were related. After moving to Britain in 1965, they had several top-10 albums and singles there, including the No. 1 hits "Make It Easy on Yourself" and "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Anymore)", both of which also made the US top 20 and Canadian top 2. Between them was the UK No. 3 hit "My Ship is Coming In". They provided a unique counterpoint to the British Invasion by achieving much more success in the UK than in their home country, a period when the popularity of British bands such as The Beatles dominated the U.S. charts. Peace out.

      John Maus was a friend of mine in high school during the early 60’s. I would go over to his house and listen to jam sessions. He was an outstanding guitar player and gave lessons to many performers like The Beach Boys. He and his sister Judy had a rock duo (John and Judy) that never had a top 100 hit but played at many clubs and concerts in the LA area. You might still find some of their songs on uTube like “Hideout”.

    I saw the Walker Brothers October 3rd 1964, 3 days before my 12th birthday at the Bournemouth Winter Gardens in Hampshire England.They sounded just like that record you listened to. They were one of of a bunch of acts that night who came on and did two songs each. But it was the top of the bill who blew the roof off the place. Bill Haley and his Comets and their performance had the whole crowd on its' dancing feet.

    Rob Squad. The Walker Brothers compleat with their Beatle haircut's. They were so big in the U.K., Australia, New Zealand. They toured England as the support act for the "Yardbirds." But at the shows they were out shining the headline act. Doing 3 or 4 encores. Half way through the tour they were promoted to headline act. For a while there, like "Beatle Mania" we had "Walker Brothers Mania." All their songs are great, try "No Regrets" next. Cheers, Chris Perry.

    Their was a San Francisco group in the mid 60's who were billed as America's answer to the Beatles. If you ever listen to them I'm sure you'll immediately recognize the similarities. The Beau Brummels had a couple of big hits that some mistakenly thought were Beatles songs. "Just a Little" and "Laugh, Laugh" were their two biggest hits with both making the top ten. If you get a chance, give them a listen.

The movie was called Beach Ball and it had quite a few guest artists performing. In the movie the Walker Brothers sounded and looked so hip and groovy that they sold me.

    The Walker Brothers could be characterized as a reverse British invasion. As you correctly point out, they were an American group. However, The Walker Brothers moved to the U.K. to find fame and fortune.
    A couple of suggestions. First, you could react to The Walker Brothers' cover of "No Regrets", a song originally written and recorded by Tom Rush. It was a hit in the U.K. for The Walker Brothers in 1975, nearly a decade after "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore".
    Second, you might want to focus on lead singer Scott Walker's solo career. In the late '60s and early '70s, he remained popular in the U.K. with songs like "Jackie", "Amsterdam", "Angels of Ashes", "Plastic Palace People" and "The Girls and The Dogs". By the 1990's and 2000's, Walker had reinvented himself as an avant-garde, minimalist composer. If you want to check out that period then react to his live performance of "Rosary" on The Jools Holland Show.
    Sadly, Scott Walker passed away in 2019 at the age of 76. R.I.P.

    Joanna was another big Walker Brothers hit that I really loved. Totally different vibe - crooner song and you can really appreciate Scott Walker’s voice. This song is wonderful but The Wall of Sound obscures Scott’s magnificent baritone. Make it Easy on Yourself is more like this one but Scott’s vocals and the melody are stunning. A bigger hit than Joanna but love them both. Going back and listening to all their songs is a pleasure. I was real young when they were big and didn’t know their catalog was so exceptional.

    The Walker Brothers' records were produced by Johnny Franz, who was heavily influenced by Phil Spector's Wall Of Sound, in which everything was drenched in reverb (echo). Franz also used this style on the records he produced for Dusty Springfield. Other performers used this style of production during the 60s (Sonny & Cher, The Beach Boys), and later records often referenced that sound, eg. Don't Answer Me by The Alan Parsons Project in 1983.

    The Walker Brothers covered the song using an arrangement that clearly resembled Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound" technique. This version was a huge hit, going to #1 in the UK and making #13 in America.. Peace out.

      @nkcbrazil Před 6 měsíci +2

      Yeah that’s why it always reminds me of the Righteous Brothers although I always felt the music covered over his voice too much as Rob mentions being in front of it. To really hear the greatness of his voice you have to go to the solo’s like Joanna, What are you doing the rest of your life and others

    • @nkcbrazil
      @nkcbrazil Před 6 měsíci +2

      @kathleen… go have a listen to the Righteous Brothers, The Ronette’s etc. and you can hear the similarities in the music, the wall of sound created a distinct and unique sound unlike anything else in music.

    When I think of the Walker Brothers, I think of them as another "blue eyed soul" group.
    Here are two mid-'60s songs that you really ought to listen to. They kind of defy description: "98.6" by Keith, and "Pied Piper" by Crispian St. Peter. I guess they'd both fall under the general heading of "pop" but with that unmistakeable '60s vibe.
    And honest to God, you've just GOT to do a couple of songs by Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels. Start with their 1966 debut hit, "Jenny Take A Ride," and their 1967 smash, "Devil With A Blue Dress On/Good Golly Miss Molly," which became a medley that EVERY high school cover band HAD to have in their repertoire to play high school dances. Both are great '60s party songs that never failed to get everyone on the dance floor. (Jay would would love these.)

They may be the only band in the American Invasion!🇺🇲😂❤️✌️

  • @rogereveratt2018
    @rogereveratt2018 Před 6 měsíci +14

    The mix on this version is peculiar - Scott's voice seems to have been robbed of all its depth/body and pushed to the back. Which is a shame, because his otherworldly baritone is one of the truly great voices of 20th century popular music. He also trod a unique path from the glorious pop of this song to some of the most baffling and occasionally rebarbative musical output of the 21st. In between he made a lot of beautiful and memorable records that were massively influential as well as hugely successful. Quite a career.

    Scott Engel of the Walker Brothers had the finest baritone voice in popular music, fact. You definitely need to check out their last big hit, which was a cover of the Tom Rush song "No Regrets." It's a bona fide classic.

    When Scott Walker went solo his music was heavily influenced by the Belgian artist Jaques Brel both in covering his songs and writing in the style of Jaques Brel. The albums had dense orchestral arrangements by Wally Stott who used to do the incidental music for Hancock's Half Hour. Wally Stott later had a sex change operation. Scott made a series in 1969 for BBC 1 (which has been wiped) and after recording Scott 4 (which a noughties indie band named themselves after) his albums stopped charting. In the eighties Scott became a huge influence on singers from indie groups and Julian Cope of The Teardrop Explodes released a compilation album of his music. In 1983 Scott recorded an album of new music revealing a new direction into avant garde music. Although reclusive (though he did go to his local pub to play darts) in 1995 Scott appeared on Later with Jools Holland to promote his new album Tilt. Before his death Scott recorded an interview,his first for years,with Stuart Maconie of 6 Music on his radio show The Freak Zone sounding relaxed and in good humour despite his reclusive reputation. Jackie and Montague Terrace in Blue are worth checking out.

    The Walker Brothers signed for the British arm of the Phillips label. They recorded all their major hits in London and in fact moved here. Scot Walker for a long time. The film looks very much like England too but I’m not entirely sure. Although they were American it could be said they were also in a way a part of the British Invasion as the recording were made by British producers and musicians.

    Scott Walker (singer) went on to record some brilliant solo albums (they gradually got more experimental). I recommend something like 'Copenhagen' from Scott 3 or his cover of Jacques Brel's 'Jackie' (on Scott 2).
