Scott is an incredibly talented vocalist, I never realized it so much when the records first came out in the sixties, but listening to them now I can see how truly phenomenal he really is

A voice I've loved for four decades retains the power to reduce me to tears. What joy this has given me. Until this past year I had never seen either Scott or the Walkers in performance. All I had were my precious vinyl albums, carefully preserved from the sixties. Acetate is a living medium; vinyl conveys an intimacy the digital age has forgotten, but these small clips are gold to me; they bring image and sound together, and show me what it was to be a fan, when it was truly magical.

And our parents were all freaked out about this "long hair" and these rebellious kids. LOL. This is wonderful. I don't think the boys were cuter at any other time in history than during the British Invasion and the Mod era. Dreamy, just dreamy. And I was probably 6 or so. I knew cute when I saw it. Burt always chooses the best and most magical voices to showcase his songs. Hats off to Burt B.

When I served in the first Gulf War, this song helped me get through a tough time. I was being medevac'd after being wounded, and one of the chopper pilots was playing this on his tape player. Strange, but it was always one of my favorite 60's songs, and of all the places in the world, it was playing in that chopper when I was put aboard.

Thank you so much for this amazing post. I have not heard their version since I was a little boy. This took me right back to San Bruno, CA, dancing in our living room to this and other songs of the day. I get sad when I hear such talent and know that today such talent is few and far between. Today's music is a wasteland of scripted formula and poor form.Gone is the time when we looked forward to hearing new music.

On this day in 1965 {November 29th} the Walker Brothers' "Make It Easy On Yourself" reached #1 {for 2 weeks} on the Canadian RPM Singles chart... One month earlier on October 16th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #16 and spent 10 weeks on the Top 100... And on September 23rd it reached #1 {for 1 week} on the United Kingdom's Singles chart... Two other versions have charted; Jerry Butler {#20 in 1962} and Dionne Warwick {#37 in 1970}...

Oops, I meant Scott Walker. Also, the great voice goes without saying, but listen to that acoustic guitar.
