    The Walker Brothers were an American pop group of the 1960s and 1970s that included Scott Engel (eventually known professionally as Scott Walker), John Walker (born John Maus, but using the name Walker since his teens) and Gary Leeds (eventually known as Gary Walker). After moving to Britain in 1965, they had a number of top ten albums and singles there, including the No. 1 chart hits "Make It Easy on Yourself" and "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Anymore)", both of which also made the US top 20. In between the two was the lesser US hit "My Ship is Coming In".
    Formed in 1964, they adopted the 'Walker Brothers' name as a show business touch even though the members were all unrelated - "simply because we liked it." They provided a unique counterpoint to the British Invasion by achieving much more success in the United Kingdom than in their home country, a period when the popularity of British bands such as The Beatles dominated the U.S. charts.

    I heard this song being played on National Public Radio as they went to a commercial break, and it was being played in remembrance of Scott Walker, because he'd just died. I hadn't heard the song since the 1960's when I was a kid, but I recognized it immediately as one of the melodies that was truly great and which I loved. After rediscovering this hit upon his death, I've been playing it many times and watching this and one other video the most often. I love this song.

    my first memory when i heard this song...think i was like 5 or 6.
    my mom was cleaning the house,window open,summertime,extreme hot but the fresh summerwind.
    and this song full power.
    i am 44 now and when i hear this i got exactly those pictures in my head.
    my 70's young mom in the summertime,cleaning the house.
    love this sweet little memories

    I have to say there's always a song that may not be of the time you were born but sounds great. I was born 1977 but heard it years later

    Scott Walker (real name Scott Engel) had a truly amazing voice. Unfortunately, he subsequently became disillusioned with the pop world and refused to sing using his wonderful baritone voice and would only make weird-sounding recordings before his death. His refusal to sing as he had before was a huge huge loss. I could still listen to him for hours and hours.

    I saw a documentary on Scott Walker by accident. I looked up the Walker Brothers, now I am hooked. Perfect pop confection with a dash of wall of sound.
