One of my all time favorite vocalists and composers, the enigmatic Scott Walker (nee Engel) passed away this morning at the age of 76. Beginning his career as a teeny bopper with The Walker Brothers, but gradually morphing into an artist whose work got more and more experimental as he got older, Walker influenced just about everyone who listened to him, from Bowie to Eno, Radiohead to Sunn O))) (whom he recorded an album with a couple of years back). He will be missed. So, here's one of my favorites from early in his solo career, an English translated cover of Jacques Brel's "My Death." RIP Scott Walker.
