A true pop icon, the crooner would inspire many stars such as Pulp, The Last Shadow Puppets, David Bowie, and even Alain Bashung. Much more than a mere charmer, Scott Walker was one of the crooners who best embodied this blend of pop and soaring strings. His velvety voice and jazzy arrangements made him the most English American in pop history.
Til The Band Comes In
Released in 1970, this fifth album followed the immense Scott 4 and remained in the same vein as its predecessor. Despite its high-flying compositions and arrangements, this opus did not achieve the expected success. It was withdrawn from shelves, only to be re-released 25 years later and become a significant album on the transatlantic pop scene.
Climate The Hunter
Released in 1984, after a more than 10-year discographic hiatus, the crooner returned with an album whose polished, yet more pop productions than previously known from the artist, supported the master's eternal crooner voice.
