Scott Walker

Scott Walker (born Noel Scott Engel; January 9, 1943) is an American-born British singer-songwriter, composer and record producer. First coming to fame in the mid-1960s as frontman of the successful pop music trio The Walker Brothers, Walker began a solo career in 1967, moving toward an increasingly challenging baroque pop style in the late 1960s. His solo work drew acclaim but resulted in diminished commercial sales, leading him to reunite with The Walker Brothers in the mid-1970s. Since the mid-1980s, Walker has revived his solo career while moving in an increasingly avant-garde direction.
