craigb Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 "...one of the most enigmatic and influential figures in rock history..." Wow, I've never heard of him!
SteveStrummerUK Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 He made some delicious crisps (US = 'chips').

James G Posted March 26, 2019 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
craigb Posted March 26, 2019 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!
