April 6 2023 and I discovered this today because Depeche Mode covered it on BBC 2 and so, I had to find it. Always associated it with Gordon Lightfoot but what a version this is! The first album I ever bought (reckon I was 12) was The Walker Brothers Story and I have it still! Thank you for posting it!
Do you have any idea who this "guy" is? This Artist is very talented and has a great voice.. This may be bad version for you.. But Scott is a genius artist and is very talented and has a great voice. Idk how old you are but try looking up his other music.
Jay Bee - David Bowie practically aped Scott's phrasing and singing style and has admitted as much, so much so that when Scott wished Bowie a Happy Birthday via a talk show, it left Bowie speechless. The reverence other musicians and fans have for him is well deserved.

Me too , just watched DM on BBC .
And I came here after watching the DM cover on BBC, which I found looking for Gordon's original after reading he's just passed. RIP Gordon Lightfoot.
I'm a few months after you.. but for exactly the same reason..
Scott Walker genius.
Beautiful version of such a beautiful song!
Such a shame we have lost this beautiful man and his beautiful voice. 💔 Rest in peace Scott.
Every generation gets another gift. Thank heaven his recordings survive….
I like his voice and the piano!
Fabulous - Scott backing Scott 👍 RIP Genius 💔
My favourite track from "We Had it All".
The instrumentals I could listen to forever, especially from 3.13.
Scott owns this song.
Depeche Mode
Heard them do it today and so, found this!
Gordon Lightfoot
@@blainemosley Depeche Mode! RIP Gordy, but DM did a cover of this version.
Depeche Mode brought me here!!!....
Love this one!!
It's nice enough but personally I prefer the original version by Gordon Lightfoot. Love the guitar rather than the piano
As well
2 jan 2020 Keith Stevenson super. why did this song not reach the UK radio or tv?
Bellissima..... non la conoscevo
Sumptuous string arrangement esp when everything is stripped away and they rise up at the coda. Bests the original IMO
I'm a huge Scott Walker fan, however I don't think this was the best choice of song for him.
I like Gordons version.
So do I, but this is a good cover!
This version sucks. Sounds like a bad lounge act in the bar of the local HoJo. No angst, no underlying rage and the guy’s voice is just plain cheesy.
"The guy?"

you suck
Ha ha what a dumb comment. Scott Walker was ten times the singer that Gordon Lightfoot ever was.
