As far as i remember this duo had 4 singles parade 1982, Lets forget 83 on the chrysalis label then for whatever reason in 1983 went to R.C.A and recorded the single Miracle and Bury my heart in 84 before vanishing forever absolout travesty

@gazborelli Plus the debut single "Who's Asking You?".

[Chelliemar11]

It sounds great but it is a complete copy of Scott Walker. No offence, but wouldn't you listen to the original more quickly? I would, anyhow.

@Chelliemar11 Actually I think I've got the complete works of the Walker Brothers and Scott solo and listen to them regularly (maybe not so much Scott's recent "experimental" stuff) but "Parade" remains one of my favourite songs.

If more people find Scott Walker after hearing White and Torch - or vice versa - I'd be happy. I just think that this is a classic song that deserved to be more widely known.

Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thank you I loved White & Torch in the 80's totally under-rated and should have been bigger than what they were

[andyhawk64]

I nearly passed out when I came across this!! Thank you very much for bringing back a brilliant memory!

It´s good, I like it, but I personally prefer Scott´s voice. It´s more elegant without loosing power.
