The Walker Brothers was a 1960’s pop group founded in California, that ultimately found fame and fortune in the UK, rather than their homeland.
The trio of Scott Walker (Noel Scott Engel), Gary Walker (Gary Leeds, formerly of The Standells), and John Walker (John Maus, November 12, 1943 - May 7, 2011) moved from the U.S. to Britain in 1965. Like The Ramones, they were not related, and adopted the same last name as a show business touch. They had only minor success in the U.S., but topped the UK singles charts withThe Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore, and Make It Easy On Yourself.
After the group disbanded in 1967, all three members scored U.S. and UK chart hits, under their Walker names.
Briefly reforming in the mid 1970s, The Walker Brothers recorded a version of Tom Rush’sNo Regrets which soared into the British Top Ten, after an absence of over a decade. However, the three albums that followed sold poorly. Scott’s tracks on the final album, Nite Flights, laid the stylistic groundwork for Scott’s later solo career.
