Their titanic chart hits - 'The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore', 'Make It Easy On Yourself, 'My Ship Is Coming In' - and their youthful good looks established Scott, John, and Gary as the original teen idols. During their height in the mid 60s, the Walkers could boast a fan club larger than that of The Beatles. After the group disbanded in 1967, the brothers pursued solo careers. Only Scott Walker met with any real commercial success, issuing a quartet of self-titled albums, now rightly hailed as classics. The trio would slide into obscurity as the decade turned, before reforming and rising phoenix-like in the mid 70s, with the classic 'No Regrets' hit single. They concluded their recording career with a groundbreaking album, 1978's Nite Flights, but the extraordinary legacy of The Walker Brothers and their enigmatic frontman, Scott Walker, lives on. In the first in-depth biography of The Walker Brothers, Anthony Reynolds traces the rise and fall of one of the seminal pop acts and examines their unique contribution to popular music. He also reappraises the talent and appeal of the cult hero Scott Walker, as well as tracing the often neglected careers of the other two Walker brothers, John and Gary. The book covers the years from the early 60s to their revival in the mid 70s, telling the Walkers' fascinating story through the words of the brothers themselves. We also hear from those who helped make The Walker Brothers such a phenomenon - the musicians, record label staff, and producers; the fans and the photographers - and many were interviewed exclusively for this book. Tracing the band and solo careers, Reynolds assesses each album and single, including outtakes and unreleased songs. Profusely illustrated, featuring many previously unpublished photographs, this volume is a must for any fan of classic pop music. 352 pp. Englisch, Books<
