Scott Walker was an American singer-songwriter, composer and record producer. He was noted for his distinctive baritone voice. He first come to fame in the mid-1960s as frontman of the successful pop music trio The Walker Brothers. He continued to release solo material and worked with a number of artists before his death in March 2019.
First coming to fame in the mid-1960s as frontman of the successful pop music trio The Walker Brothers, Walker began a solo career with 1967’s Scott, moving toward an increasingly challenging baroque pop style on late ’60s albums such as Scott 3 (1969) and Scott 4 (1969). His solo work drew acclaim but resulted in diminished commercial sales, leading him to reunite with Walker Brothers in the mid-1970s. Since the mid-1980s, Walker revived his solo career and moved in an increasingly avant-garde direction that The Guardian has likened to “Andy Williams reinventing himself as Stockhausen.”
Walker continued to release solo material and as a record producer or guest performer. Walker’s success was largely in the United Kingdom, where his first three solo albums reached the top ten. Walker lived in the UK since 1965; he became a British citizen in 1970.
