Woods, Paul A.2013
Book
One of the most enigmatic figures in rock history, Scott Walker was known as Scotty Engel before meeting up with John Maus and Gary Leeds to form the Walker Brothers. They enjoyed huge success with singles including Make It Easy On Yourself and The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore before splitting in 1967 when Walker launched his solo career. Details the formation of the Walker Brothers in the 1960s only for the group to split at the height of their fame and Walker launched himself as a solo artist. How Walker's early solo career was successful in Britain; his first three albums, titled Scott, Scott 2, and Scott 3, all sold in large numbers, Scott 2 topping the British charts but how Scott 4 failed to make an impact. How a new generation of fans were created following the re-release of his classic albums on CD. Featuring new interviews with those involved with Walker alongside an archive of quotes by the man himself.
