(Noel Scott Engel (January 9, 1943 - March 22, 2019), better known by his stage name Scott Walker,
was an American-British singer-songwriter and record producer who
resided in England. Walker was known for his emotive voice and his
unorthodox stylistic path which took him from being a teen pop icon in the 1960s to an avant-garde musician from the 1990s to his death.
Walker's success was largely in the United Kingdom, where his first
four solo albums reached the top ten. He lived in the UK from 1965
onward and became a UK citizen in 1970.
Rising to fame in the mid-1960s as frontman of the pop music trio the Walker Brothers, he began a solo career with 1967's Scott, moving toward an increasingly challenging style on late-1960s baroque pop albums such as Scott 3 and Scott 4 (both 1969). After sales of his solo work started to decrease, he reunited with the Walker Brothers in the mid-1970s. From the mid-1980s onward, Walker revived his solo career while moving in an increasingly avant-garde direction. Walker's 1960s recordings were highly regarded by the 1980s UK underground music scene, and gained a cult following).
