Scott Walker - I Don't Want To Hear It Anymore

[JHANNAH6]

this is my favourite song he sung on the first album I bought in 1965 and although I got some records after that this is my treasure fan of his always.

[LloydDutch]

Well what a year so far, nearly lost a limb, got mugged and have no money now and a slashed open hand, got a nice little pressie from my (as of five mins ago) ex-girlfriend, yeah, thats the end of me.

[billhallsongs]

just plain awesome

[daubreyjaneweirdsley]

The greatest singer since Frank Sinatra, and the English speaking world's Jacque Brel. He's been breaking my heart every time he opens his mouth for more years than i care to remember.

The beautiful and magnificent Scott Walker.

[raceching]

Probably the most magnificent voice we shall ever hear from a popular music artist -it has just about everything. This song from Randy Newman was tailored for Scott's rich and subtle tones. Brilliant Guidofski, thanks.

[coastergirl306]

John Maus Walker actually picked this song for Scott to sing on this album because he said it was perfect for Scott's voice and it was very demanding piece.

[tomwmartin]

I wouldn't want to live without either Scott's or Dusty's versions (but 'Dusty in Memphis') is one of the GREAT albums of all time (IMHO).

[Punktowner]

I prefer Dusty Springfield's version.

[sbrown1450]

Always been a favourite, my husband said only the other day about noise next door and I told him what do you expect like the Walker Brothers said ' The walls are much too thin' He just looked at me, I think he's fed of hearing about all the Walker Brothers, he'll after put up with it after all I loved Scott long before I met my hubby. And Scott will always be No.1 for me.

[NegativeBlues]

I fucking love this.

[dreama505]

Hot song. A marvellous dreamy atmospheric cadence. An all too familiar scenario. Strictly for the mature listener.

The walls are much too thin......

Many thanks......

[RonSafreed]

My older half-brother gave me an album from them written in 1965, I remember this song so clearly. Sounds something like the style of Tom Jones&Ingleburg Humperdink also back in those days. Thanks for posting.

[31goto6k18]

I hear　“I don't want to hear it any more.”　and　“The hills of yesterday ” every day.

[shmoopie1812]

I just got goosebumps all over. This is one of the finest songs and voices ever. Big sis was and is a huge fan and I grew up listening to him in the 60's. Wonderful.

[futuristfood]

fab.. this made my week! wow!

[diamonddust22]

God thanks for posting this. What a brilliant artist.

[Norm7057]

Guidofski, thanks for all you do. I have re-discoverd Scott, and have thoroughly enjoyed his wonderful versatility all over again. I remember when "Kathalene" was released on a 45, under his real name of Scott Engel, and I bought it when I was about 13 years old. It's still in my record collection. Well, I recently went to Amazon and ordered every one of his available CDs, mainly based on the songs you have posted for us. What an enjoyment it's been to listen to this talented artist.

-Norm

[guidofski]

@Norm7057  Thank you so much for sharing and for your kind words. Much appreciated. :)

[SouthCoastMackem]

Very different from other versions - as ever, his voice could melt butter. Not as raw as the PJ Proby version, and Dusty's version was also fine, but this just edges the others foe me, Sheer class. Thanks for posting.

[jimmymiata]

It took courage and good taste; at that time the progresive Randy Newman was not very popular (exept for my country Netherlands) this song stands out as one of the best ever written, very well sung by Scott Walker

[ColdChicago]

the overcooked good looks and then the final disgust with "show business", and sinatra always waiting just off stage- could have made it in vegas, and yet put it all behind him... amsterdam in the sixties... changed people.

[billhallsongs]

beautiful

[MsLANINS]

Beautiful song, beautiful voice ! *****

[mikeclifford2006]

Amazing. This was the song that hooked me onto Scott (Engel) Walker. Just listen to it! It was recording about 1965!

[mikeclifford2006]

Amazing. This was the song that hooked me onto Scott (Engel) Walker.

[billhallsongs]

one of the best vocal performances by anyone ever

[arniegirls1]

Take It Easy With The Walker Brothers, a great first album. Arnie Potts

[edgarholland]

@arniegirls1 Hello Arnie, are u the guy in the SW doc 30 Century Man? If you are could you photocopy some interviews Scott gave round Scott3/Scott4/til the band comes in/nite flights and post it over to Sweden - I pay of course

[trschaefer]

Man... He's GORGEOUS!!

[frankmilespml]

Try the version by Jerry Butler from the album Up On Love . Far Far Superior

[arniegirls1]

@frankmilespml Im a great Walker fan but i do agree. Arnie Potts

[Viewingpublic08]

I know Scott doesn't like to look back, but I hope he's proud of this one - it's just outstanding. Love the high notes especially! Thank you, Guida.

[Jnkdog]

Nice version but to hear it from Dusty puts a new meaning to it. Did not know this one existed so, Thank You for the upload and sharing the info.

[michelle73068]

i think this man has the most beautiful voice ive ever heard , wish he recorded more often

[psykoosi]

........I just commented but anyway I got to tell you that I'm addicted. This song keeps playing inside my head all day long and I had some troubles in the school, for I couldn't concentrate on what the teacher was saying - Scott's beautiful, strong voice kept coming and coming! Ah and now I'm listening to this AGAIN and AGAIN, I should be sleeping but well, who needs to sleep anyway, ha ha, I guess I'll just listen to this all night and spent the next day as a zombie :D

[guidofski]

@psykoosi Thanks for sharing your thoughts, loved both your comments. I'm not surprised to hear you're addicted to this, it really casts a spell... "Scott Walker Turned Me Into A Zombie" - now there's a good George Romeroesque title for ya! :D

[TLJ55]

@guidofski I think I'm addicted, too. I'm sure you'll see all the likes I've posted. I also happen to agree with the statement: "Scott Walker Turned Me Into A Zombie". hahaha! It's TRUE! I've been sitting here listening to him for the past few hours, off and on.

[stillovescott]

@psykoosi I find 'Thanks for Chicago Mr James' has a similar effect on me. I always seem to wake up in the morning with one of his songs in my head. Is there treatment for this????

[psykoosi]

First I fell in love with the Dusty version and now after hearing this.... Well, I don't know which one I like better! Should I know that? Both of the versions are just great, but still very different. The Dusty version seems more sad and desperate to me, and that's why this version of Scott is much more comforting somehow. And that voice, wow!

[SParker926]

still love that voice after all these years!

[1960London]

Interesting people talk about Scott and Dusty in the same sentence - both their songs from this era were arranged by the combined genius of Wally Stott, Ivor Raymonde and produced Johnny Franz. Their contribution to popular music cannot be overestimated.

[guidofski]

Yes, credit where credit's due. :)

[stillovescott]

Scott and Dusty always appeared on each other's shows. I think they definitely had a mutual adoration going on there..in the musical sense!

[TLJ55]

@1960London Thanks for the info. Never knew that...

[stillovescott]

Another making me tingle all over! Thanks so much.

[ubergeraldine]

cannot believe his voice! Amazing - and so incongruous with his looks!

[Waverley52]

Exquisite.

Thank you for posting this wonderful version. 5*****

[jimmymiata]

Thanks for putting it here; one of my all time favorites

[odoanna1]

This must be the very best series of Scott images anywhere on video... plenty of downright pretty, handsome and happy ones. You're the king, Guidofski! As for the singing : there's only one Scott and one Dusty ! Best singers ever...

[guidofski]

Thanks, I try my best... :)

And yes, Scott and Dusty rule!

[bumblebert]

dustys better but this is good.

[icepickmikey]

This has to be Scott Walker's best vocal performance. There are many, many gems, but it doesn't get any better than this!

[truemansparks]

scotts magical voice is perfect for this always thought it would be a great song to put into a movie(if its not already been done)

[guidofski]

I think you're absolutely right! I went to IMDb to check the Randy Newman songs used in movies and TV and apparently no one's thought of it yet... what a shame...

[truemansparks]

thanks for that info never thought of checking it that way before perhaps one day i will put it in a movie about me!along with on your own again, perfect.

[guidofski]

Well, one thing's for sure, it will be one heck of a soundtrack! ;)

[Hyanus]

My absolute favorite Scott Walker cover....it's the song that made me his slave. Scott sang about five Randy Newman songs.....thanks for this. Nice to see it played with his handsome face.

[guidofski]

You've got great taste. ;) My pleasure!

[psychodamned]

I love Scott but everyones version just seems Pale when Compared to PJ PROBy's. It's such an outstanding version and it's on youtube. You really should check it out !!!

[guidofski]

I just did; it's really good, the heartbreak really comes through... plus I liked the fact that the lyrics were slightly different. Thanks for the tip, Stuart! :)

[musicsavage]

Not bad, but you can't beat the Dusty Springsfield's version.

[arthurzdog]

Amen, brother. Dusty Springfield's version of this song is just marvelous. She really nails it.

[CLOB302]

Yeah, he's one of the all time greats.

[janicead]

Wow. After 40 years, Scott's voice still sends chills up and down my spine. I don't know another singer who can do that.

This piece is one of my favorites, even though Scott would probably disavow this type of material today.

[guidofski]

I agree, he certainly would stay away from this sort of thing today, but I hope that won't stop anyone from enjoying the 'old' Scott!

And yes, the voice still blows any competition away...

Thank you, Janice. :)

[veadlsteak]

"Who" can sing like this.....only Scott. I do

love him, his style, his voice, his presentation.

What's not to love about Scott. Eveytime I hear him, I think I love him better than Sinatra. I never heard this before, but I love

it.

[garymichael1950]

It's a very old Randy Newman song. Great, isn't it?
