"Make It Easy On Yourself" was the Walker Brothers other hit song

[@joeboy5791]

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.

[@kathyrizzi8754]

I loved all the British bands who came to the U.S. in the 60’s, what great memories they left me.👍🎼🎵🎶👏👏👏♥️

[@nkcbrazil]

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.

[@sandradavies7804]

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.

[@bradjenkins1475]

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.

[@JoeKentMagic]

I feel ya, Brutha ✨️

[@joemaldonado9231]

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.

[@jaquettajones]

The documentary of Scott Walker blew my mind! Truly a genius.

[@chrisjohnson4165]

No Regrets will blow your minds. The song builds to a blistering guitar solo unlike any other.

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.

[@stevefoulston]

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.

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”.

[@russelldavis3796]

This is a great example of baroque pop because of the orchestration. "Walk Away Renee" by the Left Banke is even a better example.

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.

[@1970sthrowback]

Have you noticed how many Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons songs were bigger hits for other artists ?

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.

[@brucecronin6396]

Amber, you found a good one !! I played this one ALOT in 1966 (graduated HS). The Walker's spent time living in London. Lots of people think it was produced by Phil Spector and his "Wall of Sound" but it was produced by Johnny Franz and Ivor Raymonde, who worked with Dusty Springfield. Love the song, and love you guys. Keep it going.

[@rs-ye7kw]

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.

There was a documentary made about Scott Walker called 30 CENTURY MAN, named after one of his songs. There's a scene where David Bowie, a longtime fan, is just sitting and listening to one of his recordings, and we see him get emotional over it. He was definitely the "singer's singer" if you will. Solo tracks of his I would recommend are "Jackie," "Matilda," "It's Raining Today," and "Thanks for Chicago, Mr. James." There was a brief time in the '80s when the Walker Brothers reunited for an album, and some great tracks from that reunion are "Nite Flights" and "The Electrician."

That "vocals behind the instruments" sound is basically producer Phil Spector's "wall of sound" and copycats of that style. Interestingly enough, this particular song was produced by Trevor Horn. You may remember seeing/hearing him with The Buggles of "Video Killed The Radio Star" fame.

[@RobPryme]

[@russallert]

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.

Yes!!! Could not click on this fast enough!!! 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.

Scott and John MaUs Walker were in the touring version of The Surfaris, Glenn Leeds had already toured Britain as the drummer for PJPROBY. They were hanging out a club on the sunset strip when Glenn said they should go to England which they did. This song was their second# 1 hit in the UK. The first was a cover of the Burt Bacharach and Hal David song “ Nake it Easy on Yourself “ which incredibly knocked Satisfaction by The Rolling Stones out of the top stop. Scott’s Girlfriend played for him an album by Belgian Singer Jacques Brel and Scott was hooked for life. His first solo album Scott-1 covered three songs by Brel. Scott wanted to be more of a nightclub singer at that time,but Scott-3 tanked cuz Scott said all the songs were in 3-4 time. Not sure about album Scott-4. Scott pulled the plug on The Walker Brothers in 1967 but they reunited around 1973 and had a huge hit in the UK with No Regrets. In 1978 their Kabel Phillips was going out of business and said to the Walkers” you still owe us one album so do whatever the hell you want. That 1978 album Nite Flights was a huge influence on David Bowie who should later cover three songs from it including Nite Flights. It also influenced Roxy Music and Talking Heads. Scott became a British citizen around 1970 and released solo albums in 1984-1994Tilt and around 2006. Scott became very reclusive and only performed once the last 35 years of his life. Scott died in 2019. John MaUs was a great blues guitarist who spent “a summer trying to teach Carl Wilson how to play guitar as the Wilson family lived across the street in Hawthorne. John was still performing up until a few months before he died in Nay of 2011. From 1964-67 they were one of the most popular bands in the world. Sometimes their concerts only lasted about 5 minutes cuz teenagers would rush the stage. Except in Dublin their concert only lasted about 30 seconds,they retreated to their van and the fans turned it over. I think it all became a bit much for Scott. He couldn’t walk to the corner shop to buy a loaf of bread without being mobbed. Scott’s later solo albums became very svante guarde. As one music historian said almost impenetrable like Tilt in 1994.

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.
