Noel Scott Engel, better known as Scott Walker, was an American-born multifaceted artist who left an indelible mark on the music world. Born on January 9, 1943, he would go on to live a life filled with creativity and innovation, ultimately passing away on March 25, 2019.
As a singer-songwriter, composer, and record producer, Walker was renowned for his distinctive baritone voice, which added a unique depth and richness to his music. His career, marked by its unorthodox twists and turns, took him from the bright lights of 1960s pop stardom to the avant-garde fringes of 21st-century music.
Walker's success, to a large extent, was rooted in the United Kingdom, where his initial three solo albums achieved top ten status. It was in the UK that he made his home, relocating there in 1965 and eventually becoming a British citizen in 1970.
