So without further ado, lets get back to the audio. This time its Scott Walker performing ‘Mathilde’ from Jacques Brel.

Yeah, call me a repeat offender since I’ve already posted these tunes before, in a way. However, the performance and the stylings show how Brel is an influence to many people.

Also, don’t you just love a performance that’s being introduced by the Queen of Blue-Eyed Soul herself?.

You can’t miss Scott Walker’s baritone and how singers like Jarvis Cocker, Morrissey and David Bowie have all been influenced by his unique voice. I just liked the fact that when he went solo, he released 3 albums simply titled “Scott.” Whats the hurt in that?

What some people may not realize is that The Walker Brothers were not even real brothers. It was all marketing, kinda like how all of The Ramones weren’t related. But like The Webb Brothers (who are related), the band had more chart success in the UK than the US. Maybe its because you had other bands like The Everyl and Righteous Brothers over here who some may have thought were similar, but the songs here are more moody and better in a lyrical sense.

Dig this early music video from the guys and don’t giggle when Scott makes emotional hand gestures.
