One of the great Pop/Rock voices.
RIP Scott Walker
Oh no! Scott was a genuine icon in the world of British pop music.
I once saw him perform live on a tiny stage in a club on Oxford Street, Manchester in the early 1970s.
The audience was sparse and not particularly interested in what was happening on stage.
Scott, for his part, showed all the enthusiasm of a wet lettuce.
Still, he did have a marvellous voice.
Yes, RIP. Yet another one gone in my age group. 
This is my favourite of his :-
I have "Jackie" on a 45 rpm single.
I think it was the start of Scott's departure from normal songs to the weird and not particularly wonderful.
Jesus, he turned out some weird stuff as the years rolled on!
No regrets
RIP
A great Artiste who will be sadly missed
A great loss. I especially loved his Jacques Brel covers.
His first four albums (Scot 1 2 3 4) are all wonderful.
RIP
Memories of a time when the radio was full of class (mid 1960s to mid 1990s inclusive). You just have to listen to this as one tiny example of what we have lost (or had stolen from us), of what the young people have never had the privilege of having, and to appreciate we were raised up then and not deflated and drossed as people are now before the age of 12:

(And this of course carries the orchestration of the great arranger Wally Stott before he became a woman - not that I have ever had any leanings myself in that direction but it probably often does take someone that different to come up with that level of poetic creativity. Walker himself was hardly a soldiered norm but then they were able to art against what was a reasonable post war consensus)
And when he went long before he actually went, he really, really went so as to make Bowie's Berlin period look like the Carpenters : historical place in the Museum of the True Artist solidly assured. Thanks very much and total respect)
