Scott Walker, born Noel Scott Engel on January 9, 1943 is an American singer-songwriter, musician, record producer, and the former lead
singer of The Walker Brothers. Despite being American born, Walker's chart success has largely come in the United Kingdom, where his first
four solo albums reached the top ten. Walker has lived in the UK since 1965. He continues to release solo material and is currently signed to
4AD.
Originally championed by Eddie Fisher in the late 1950s, Scott appeared several times under his real name on Fisher's TV series as a teen idol
in the vein of Fabian or Frankie Avalon. Walker was among the first to adopt the electric bass guitar, mastering it to a proficiency to win regular
session work in Los Angeles studios while still in his teens.
