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

A fine Randy Newman song from "Take It Easy With The Walker Brothers", the band's 1965 debut album. A most graceful rendition from 22-year-old Scott.

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

........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

@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

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. :)

"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.

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.

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.

just plain awesome

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.

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.

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.

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).

I prefer Dusty Springfield's version.

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.
