Neither had I, although I obviously recognised the song titles in that news piece. I would have thought that more, here, would have though. I'm just not into pop music...

James G Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) I'm amazed that no-one seems to have heard of him. Fantastic voice, and he had the courage to turn his back on his pop career to record some of the most uncompromising music ever. The Walker Brothers had some tremendous songs, love this one (Midge Ure did a fine cover of it) Edited March 26, 2019 by James G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigb Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Went back and listened to the samples. I've definitely heard the first one (the Sun...), but the others were new. What a voice though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
