Walker Brothers

The Walker Brothers were an American pop group formed in Los Angeles in 1964, made up of Scott Walker, John Walker, and Gary Walker, none of whom were actually related. Despite their American origins, they found their biggest success after relocating to Britain in 1965, scoring multiple Top 10 hits and two UK number ones with orchestral, soul-influenced pop built around Scott Walker's baritone voice.
