Walker is still a strong vocalist and singer, especially considering his age. However, the difference in intent between classic and contemporaroy Walker is night and day. His singing on the Drift while still technically sound and emotive is designed more to provoke feelings of unease and paranoia, not please the ear. While you may not enjoy edgey Avant Garde, a much smaller circle does. His talents are not being wasted, he's only grown as a composer and artist.

This was recorded by me in 1974 on Spanish television in Barcelona on BETAMEX. I still have the tape. Maybe somebody can make a copy of it to get a better queality of this unique song.
Scott did also perform THE WORLD STRONGEST MAN at this Spanish programm.
The Plague is on the backside of the singele. It is also available on many diferent CD´s

There just isn't anything I don't like about Scott Walker.

I can see why Jarvis Cocker was influenced by Scott Walker.
-
The Jacques Brel version and Marc Almond version are cool, too. I love songs that don't quite make sense, like this one, MacArthur Park, Good Morning Starshine...

Scott along with Bolan, Elvis and Bowie really are the ultimate in perfect pop stars; imaginative, good looking, talented, creative and slightly naughty. x
So much fun! Always makes me think of the Ab Fab episode where Patsy's sister Jackie came to visit. The song was a big part of that episode.
