If you have never heard of Scott Walker, it’s probably because you have never lived in England or never listened to completely bizarre, avant garde, recluse music. Nonetheless, Walker and his band The Walker Brothers are considered to be part of the 60s British Invasion (although they were Americans who invaded London.) The Brothers weren’t actually related, yet at the height of their popularity, their fan club was bigger than the Beatles. Here is “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore,” very Phil Spector/ Righteous Brothers, yes?
