Apologies Facts - it came up fine on my PC. I have pasted another link to the song - "Montague Terrace (In Blue)".

For my money 'Scott 3' is his masterpiece.

'Rosemary'

Yes - another great song. As one You Tuber commented, the line in 'Rosemary' where he sings, "He smelled of miracles," makes you wish you'd written it when you first heard it.

I like Scott 2 and Scott 3 because he collaborated with Jacques Brel on some of the songs. I only recently found out that he collaborated with Henry Mancini on 'Wait Until Dark'.

Magnificent singing voice and very handsome bloke, but he was a complicated fellow, didn't like the limelight at all and was never comfortable with his fame. Pretty sure I remember reading once that he came over to England because America was at war with Vietnam and pretty soon Uncle Sam could be drafting him up.

Seen him (briefly) once when he was with the Walker Brothers on tour, (they all had Brian Jones hairstyles). When they came on a load of screaming girls rushed the stage and it got pretty wild, the management put all the lights on in the theatre, Scott Walker yelled at them to put the lights down, but they kept them on...... he slammed his mic down and walked off stage, the other 2 followed.....and that was it ! Didn't come back on again.

For some reason I can't get any of these videos up on my iplayer

this is the daddy
