One of the most enigmatic figures in pop music history Scott Walker (nee Scott Engel) first saw massive success in "England with his band The Walker Brothers in 1965.Not really brothers, nor were theyBritish, the trio left theHollywood seekingfame in England, and they found it there for a time with their particular brand of orchestrated pop. Following the groups demise in 1967 Walker set our to pursue solo stardom in perhaps the most peculiar way possible, with over-the-top baroque pop songs owing more to his idol Jacques Brel, Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra than they did to the Beatles or the Stones. This is his first solo LP from 1967 and features 3 of his own compositions along with covers of songs by Brel, Tim Hardin, and the Brill Building team of Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann. A true original.""
