Last summer I was working as a waitress at a coffee shop and there was an old British couple that would come over every day for their morning coffee until their vacations would end. Every time they would sing "Joanna" to me as soon as they saw me and I would smile. They really made my day!!
That's lovely ... and what a song! Been following Scott since 1981 when read about him in NME. He would have hated this in recent years before his passing but it's perfect and moves me very time.
My husband was the spitting image of Scott Walker and he passed away 5 weeks ago. I have been playing his music a lot lately and this song brings tears to my eyes and makes me cry he had such an amazing voice and the lyrics incredible. Love you Scott xx
So sorry for the loss of your man and hope you laugh and smile again. It's hard loosing a partner, a lover and a best friend. The sun will shine again ❤
Oh my goodness does that voice and song take one back to happier times. What a voice. It just washes over you and takes you a beautiful journey. Nothing can compare today. RIP Scot Walker.
Such a beautiful thing to say about the person you are so still in love with, I wish one day she remembers me and changes her mind Stuey in England 🏴
I had this song played at my daughter funeral 29 years ago this Saturday. She was only 2 and a half years old when she died. I find it so hard to listen to it without crying. And yes her name was Joanna
Stunningly beautiful, really tugs and the heartstrings, especially for us oldies who had the best singers, song writers, and fabulous orchestral backing - nowhere comes close today.
This is a great post mate, and it’s a fact that this song and the other songs Scott walker sang and wrote are all beautiful, and I love this song the more I listen to it, his favourite song to me is I will wait for you, and the line, “if it takes forever, I will wait for you, and that’s so poignant to me, I love this song and I love to sing it when I am doing karaoke along with the summer knows, and on days like these, too my songs are my heart and my soul and they are all the story of my love for a beautiful and wonderful, and so special to my heart and I sing them for her, it’s all I can do, I love her and our memories of the past and one day I’ll find her again and this time I will never let her go, we are not done, and we will someday be together again I love you Pauline I always have done and I always will do Stuey xx
In all our lives there is a singer/song that just belts you in the chops. Scott is my singer. When you look at the tv and watch this bloody handsome singer with a truly powerful voice, laying out what a proper pop song is and then making it top notch. ...? Marvellous. We ALL wanted to look like Scott. The voice was a great bonus...
I agree it should have been number 1. I have loved this man and his voice since he came to the UK in 1965. He didn't write this song it is the work of Jackie Trent and Tony Hatch but did alter some of the lyrics.
In the mid 1960’s I was working for the Granada Theatre group as a trainee theatre technician . The Walker Brothers were starring top of the bill on my last live stage show with the company .The fans were surrounding the theatre waiting eagerly to get in to see them perform that evening . I was already a fan of this wonderful trio led by Scott with his unique and unforgettable voice . I never forgot the privilege of being able to work on stage along with them , helping prepare lighting and sound for a performance that , by the reaction of their adoring fan’s screams and applause , would have been something they too would never have forgotten .
You know when you're at a party or some such and a random someone asks you what super power you'd choose? I always say: "Easy. To sing like Scott Walker"
I challenge anyone to listen to this song and not to have a tear in your eye for long lost love or the passing of a loved one from years gone by....they simply don't make them like this anymore....RIP Scott Walker...
@carolinewoodward1016 the answer is this, out of all you come up with, Scott Walker could sing everything.The others were crooners, and could only sing other peoples songs. All other opinions are a matter of ones taste
What a voice What a song A beautiful haunting melody and a song that tells a story. Scott was blessed with a great voice and could certainly hold a note. Todays singers who are in the same league? Er NONE. You just do not get singers of his calibre today. No gimmicks,no autocue just pure talent. Fantastic song and still love it today
This is how you sing a song , pure 'gold' ! what a fantastic voice , his breath control is awsome , you think he's going to take a breath. but rolls on to the next phrase ,his interpretation of the lyric is brilliant ! what a singer. Im sorry to say but so called singers of today can learn a lot from Scott . RIP X
How very true..are we to believe that there are no more men with the voice he had?...more likely that the autotuned robots we get now with their fake crying and pseudo emotions are what the 'mini Gods' of x factor want
why are you looking for such talent in a tacky competition? there are plenty talented singers left, this is like asking for a steak at a fast food vendor
This song stops me in my tracks every time I hear it. What a beautiful voice he had, this song brings a tear to my eyes still to this day. R.I.P. Scott Walker.
I heard Joanna this morning on the radio, and it made my day. The host payed a nice tribute to the late Scott Walker saying he had one of the best voices ever, and was such a nice and gentle guy. Couldn't agree more. ❤
Well somehow I just discovered the Walker Brothers soul this is June 1, 2022 and I am 67 years old back in the 60s and early 70s oh I listen to everything that they played on the Pop radio stations? They slipped through the cracks, but now I have found them and like Them A lot!!
I love this song so so much i bought all scots Lps in the mid 60s i loved lights of cinncinati but this was the big one for scott only got to number 7 in the charts but who cares it will allways be number one for me it brings up all the wonderful memories i have of my youth in the 60s what a great time to grow up i am 74 now and suffer with my health but this song takes away the pain and helps me relive those lovely days so far gone now, thanks for posting whoever you are
Scott missed his calling. These songs were where his true talent lay. They have another word for this.... perfection. There is such a disconnect here between the teenie bopper world he lived in and the more sophisticated world of adults. Beautiful interpretation of the lyrics and even more beautiful his voice. Really, I believe this was his very best effort.
Joanna, my daughter was 15 when a drunk driver took her life. As she lay dying they said she said "call my daddy". I can't see her picture without crying.
🎹 OMG! What a voice! Thanks a zillion for posting. I never heard of Scott Walker until this amazing clip. If only he would have remained a ballad singer. Better than Sinatra. Better than any of them. I am truly overwhelmed. 🎹
I was once many years ago crazily, hopelessly, in love with a fabulous girl called Joanna. And this song captures perfectly my own experience of a girl who was never to be mine, although for years I lived in hope. (Cue violins.)
I've always maintained Jim Morrison's my favourite male vocalist. But I can't help thinking this guy sounds similar, even if their music style was totally different.
The most beautiful baritone voice, with that not over the top vibrato. What a combination. Even liked his later avant-garde work, which were more soundscapes and for many a bridge too far. But the voice was unmistakable. RIP Scott Walker. @@rncbshef84
Great voice, great songs. He had a better voice than Sinatra and everyone else, and should be much more widely praised and remembered. As for the BBC erasing his shows, they have a lot to answer for over the years.
My favourite song of all time sang by the most wonderful singer ever. His handsome boyish looks and deep velvety tones will be forever remembered by his many adoring fans young and not so young.
I was only 18 and working behind a bar and cleaning in the morning and when the landlord let me in to clean he would put this song on the dukebox every morning.... To this day i dont know why but its a lovely song and it reminds me of the pub and the grate days we had
PIERCED6966 In my misspent youth too many years ago, amongst many other great times, I played with Humperdinck (Gerry Dorsey) in the clubs and with the Walkers when on tour in Germany. Ged and Scott were both amazingly professional and had voices you ached for. But they were two different breeds of singer. Scott would have been very ill at ease on a Las Vegas stage but that was where Ged came alive and did his best work. Very sorry to see John W had passed away as well.
very different breeds indeed Scott was'nt pretenting to be English like that half chat rubbish you refer to as Humpifink or what ever things like him call themselves as it suits
Scott’s voice gives this wonderful ballad the best performance it could ever have received from any singer. The depth of his voice and his ability to hold the notes so we’ll, really shows it at its very best. Thank you Scott. May you RIP.
I just unexpectedly lost my beautiful young mumma, my Joanna. When my sister and I were little we were always envious over how many beautiful songs had her name in them, she would laugh her wonderful laugh. I’m so glad I have so many songs like this now
Wow..what a voice and what a song.Great vocal,great lyrics and a haunting melody. Three things missing from most of todays songs. Scott was a great singer and truly showcases his great voice. Simply stunning
Drusilla. Totally agree. He had a soft but perfect vocal. He could certainly hold a note and with a melody like this how could he fail. Great song and a top drawer vocal
R.I.P Scott Walker one of my favourite singers, this song gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. Thank u for the music 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜blessings from Ireland 🇮🇪
When I was a young boy growing-up in Mozambique what a dream was to lesson to JOANA by Scott Walker. It made me dream of a wonderful and romantic world and my Joana was just a tear away
Heard this song for the first time in years as one of the many lovely songs played on 'Heartbeat' (a much missed series). I'd forgotten how beautiful it was, and what a lovely voice he had. I was about 13 at the time, and I and most of my friends loved the Stones, Beatles, Who, etc - but one friend (Linda) thought Scott Walker was the best. We couldn't understand it, but I do now!
My mum named me Joanna after this song and when I gave birth to my son I called him Scott after Scott Walker ❤
Beautiful
Women of impeccable taste. Super names.
How utterly wonderful. I would be so proud if I could have been and done that, Loved this man.
My mum too x
Very nice
Last summer I was working as a waitress at a coffee shop and there was an old British couple that would come over every day for their morning coffee until their vacations would end. Every time they would sing "Joanna" to me as soon as they saw me and I would smile. They really made my day!!
That is a nice story
Lovely remembrances.
That's lovely ... and what a song! Been following Scott since 1981 when read about him in NME. He would have hated this in recent years before his passing but it's perfect and moves me very time.
It's what the world is short of Joanna,The milk of pure human time and kindness to others.👍🎶💕
What a lovely story
For my wife who sadly passed away 11yrs ago today she idolized Scott RIP my darling SUE ❣
Those oboes, flutes, strings, and that wonderful voice. You don't get that level of class nowadays. We all love you Scott.
Gorgeous isn't it. 👌🎶
Full orchestration with pop songs. ❤Nowadays a luxury. 😢
Stunning vocals : 💕The late Scott Walker, has risen in glory and rests in blissful peace 💕
My husband was the spitting image of Scott Walker and he passed away 5 weeks ago. I have been playing his music a lot lately and this song brings tears to my eyes and makes me cry he had such an amazing voice and the lyrics incredible. Love you Scott xx
So sorry for the loss of your man and hope you laugh and smile again. It's hard loosing a partner, a lover and a best friend. The sun will shine again ❤
Dear lady.We are with you!
have you heard Angels of Ashes OMG so beautiful 😭😭
As much I love the name jinne but hate the mike Nesmith song joanne. But Jonna great namexanong.
So sad for your loss...this song brings tears to my eyes..God bless you ❤🙏
Oh my goodness does that voice and song take one back to happier times. What a voice. It just washes over you and takes you a beautiful journey. Nothing can compare today. RIP Scot Walker.
"You may remember me and change your mind ". Brings tears to your eyes.
Such a beautiful thing to say about the person you are so still in love with, I wish one day she remembers me and changes her mind
Stuey in England 🏴
Now that guy could sing
I had this song played at my daughter funeral 29 years ago this Saturday. She was only 2 and a half years old when she died. I find it so hard to listen to it without crying.
And yes her name was Joanna
So very sorry 😢❤❤❤U will see her again one day!!! ✝️✝️🙏🙏🕯🕊🕊🌈🌈🇬🇧
🙂❤
She's always with you Cathy and in your heart.
You will play with her again, remember me.
❤❤❤
Yes.. still listening in 2024... what a beautiful voice...I had his albums and records when he was still in the group """The Walker Bros"""
I was born in the summer of 68 and this is the song I was named after!
Such a unique voice, a brilliant singer and one of the all time greats.
Stunningly beautiful, really tugs and the heartstrings, especially for us oldies who had the best singers, song writers, and fabulous orchestral backing - nowhere comes close today.

Yes we lived through great times and music!
Ain't that the truth

My dad sang this to me as a child and on my 18th birthday ❤️
My beautiful dad loved this song x
I can't believe this was not a No 1 - the most beautiful love song ever written and superbly sung by Scott Walker.
I agree it should have been number 1. I have loved this man and his voice since he came to the UK in 1965. He didn't write this song it is the work of Jackie Trent and Tony Hatch but did alter some of the lyrics.
In the mid 1960’s I was working for the Granada Theatre group as a trainee theatre technician . The Walker Brothers were starring top of the bill on my last live stage show with the company .The fans were surrounding the theatre waiting eagerly to get in to see them perform that evening .

Was that the Granada in Tooting ...i know they played there
@@danielmcfall4106 Hi and thank you for your response , yes it was the Granada Tooting . It would have been around 1965 . Kind regards Ray .
Just a few times along the way, someone comes along with an outstaning voice. Here he is.
I called my daughter Joanna because of Scott Walker and this song. He had a wonderful and unique voice. Thanks for the memories and the music R.I.P
I called my daughter Joanna because of Scott Walker and this song, she is 40yrs of age now.
Wonderful ballad written by Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent.
Sadly Scott Walker died today 25 March 2019. He will be missed.
RIP Scott Walker.
RIP Scott.Another voice from my youth passes away
He died on Friday 22nd. His death hit the tabloids after the weekend
What a lovely man,it’s so sad, I’ve been listening to all of his and the Walker Brothers music all night,💔💔💔
HOW SAD. THE BEST MALE VOCALIST EVER
Never knew about that. hatch / Trent composers, we always learn
You know when you're at a party or some such and a random someone asks you what super power you'd choose? I always say: "Easy. To sing like Scott Walker"
I challenge anyone to listen to this song and not to have a tear in your eye for long lost love or the passing of a loved one from years gone by....they simply don't make them like this anymore....RIP Scott Walker...
A master at work.
They don’t….. I completely agree with you!
The God-like genius of Scott...
So true
How true
RIP SCOTT WALKER ONE OF THE BEST VOICES OF THE 60S
Or ever.
total agreement
Only Scott Walker and Matt Munroe could ever give me goosebumps or even make me shed unexplained tears when hearing their magical voices. God bless 😢
Scott was besides a singer, a highly talented composer and multi instumentalist
@carolinewoodward1016 the answer is this, out of all you come up with, Scott Walker could sing everything.The others were crooners, and could only sing other peoples songs. All other opinions are a matter of ones taste
@carolinewoodward1016 He was also a personal friend of mine, but we lost contact through tie years..
Matt singing On Day's Like These .....incredible
What a voice. Wonderful.
He was just just angelic miss you Scott
R.I.P Scott Walker - a true legend - gone but never forgotten - your songs will live on.
This is my most precious song from Scott Walker. It's been so since my school age at14years old, now I'm 65 from Japan.
What a voice
What a song
A beautiful haunting melody and a song that tells a story.
Scott was blessed with a great voice and could certainly hold a note.
Todays singers who are in the same league?
Er NONE.
You just do not get singers of his calibre today.
No gimmicks,no autocue just pure talent.
Fantastic song and still love it today
What a voice x

I am a singer. The Man was beyond sublime.

Im all " ears" Graeme ! thats no prob. with me 👍
So was the orchestra arreangement! They were a amazing collaboration.
What a w wonderful voice.
One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded...one of the musical wonders of the last century. Best regards from Brazil.
This song is the reason my name is Joanna my late mother loved this song ❤
This is how to do it all you screeching, tuneless wannabes on X-Factor and BGT. Pure class, pure talent. RIP Scott.
How very true..are we to believe that there are no more men with the voice he had?...more likely that the autotuned robots we get now with their fake crying and pseudo emotions are what the 'mini Gods' of x factor want
why are you looking for such talent in a tacky competition? there are plenty talented singers left, this is like asking for a steak at a fast food vendor
@@cliveedwards2958 Good considered comment. I totally agree.
How true
Such a brilliant voice! I also named my daughter after this beautiful song! ❤️
I had to listen to this again, to hear his voice and to remind myself of all the things I loved about him all those years ago
The most beautiful voice in the world and so beautifully sung with such deep emotion. The best Male singer I have ever heard.
This song stops me in my tracks every time I hear it. What a beautiful voice he had, this song brings a tear to my eyes still to this day. R.I.P. Scott Walker.
I heard Joanna this morning on the radio, and it made my day. The host payed a nice tribute to the late Scott Walker saying he had one of the best voices ever, and was such a nice and gentle guy. Couldn't agree more. ❤
This song always reminds me of my beloved wife who died of cancer nearly 14 years ago. Her name was... yes, you've guessed it. :)
I've been adoring this music, this voice for more than 45 years and I hope that the new generation will re-discover this beauty. All the best to all.
Well somehow I just discovered the Walker Brothers soul this is June 1, 2022 and I am 67 years old back in the 60s and early 70s oh I listen to everything that they played on the Pop radio stations? They slipped through the cracks, but now I have found them and like Them A lot!!
The greatest sung ballad of all time and I have absolutely no doubt about that. A beyond stunning performance.

greatest male vocalist ever
Scott Walker was a King, a giant amongst many great singers.
He's up there with the greats for certain.💞👑

There is such a disconnect here between the teenie bopper world he lived in and the more sophisticated world of adults. Beautiful interpretation of the lyrics and even more beautiful his voice.

My favorite song of his and that's saying something! Gorgeous in everyway. xx
A haunting song that will be evergreen... R.I. P Scott Walker.. One of the most beautiful voices ever
fantastic voice
@@julieoates8638 Yes, his voice was remarkably beautiful.
Scott always takes my breath away when he sings, such a beautiful talented man. miss you.
Joanna, my daughter was 15 when a drunk driver took her life. As she lay dying they said she said "call my daddy". I can't see her picture without crying.
❤ it brings me to tears
🎹 OMG! What a voice! Thanks a zillion for posting. I never heard of Scott Walker until this amazing clip.
If only he would have remained a ballad singer. Better than Sinatra. Better than any of them.
I am truly overwhelmed. 🎹
Not better than Sinatre.. No way
Agreed,Sinatra was always overated, many were better, Walker,Don Cherry, Matt Monro,Jerry Vale, etc.
Mr Scott walker, 貴方のJoanna を半世紀聴いてきました。今年3月22日に逝去されたと聞き、若き日に出会った頃の事を思い返しています。私は日本人なので、歌詞の本当の意味は、正直よく分かりません。しかし、貴方の低音の美声と美しいメロディーが、50年間も私の気分を和らげてくれました。有難う御座いました(^_^)R.I.P ,Mr Sctt Walker＼(^o^)／
I cry every time I hear this soulful magical song by Scott xxxx❤❤
I was once many years ago crazily, hopelessly, in love with a fabulous girl called Joanna. And this song captures perfectly my own experience of a girl who was never to be mine, although for years I lived in hope. (Cue violins.)
I adore this song ,always wanted to be called Johanna.
I'm here!!!
@@joychiplin9516 Joanna, joanna.
Now thats Singing...Best male voice ever..
I've always maintained Jim Morrison's my favourite male vocalist. But I can't help thinking this guy sounds similar, even if their music style was totally different.
And a what would a duet with the late Karen Carpenter have sounded like - they both sing really well with deep voices...
The most beautiful baritone voice, with that not over the top vibrato. What a combination. Even liked his later avant-garde work, which were more soundscapes and for many a bridge too far. But the voice was unmistakable. RIP Scott Walker.
@@rncbshef84
quite
Great voice, great songs. He had a better voice than Sinatra and everyone else, and should be much more widely praised and remembered. As for the BBC erasing his shows, they have a lot to answer for over the years.
Fabulous song sung by a fabulous voice RIP Scott
this still sounds wonderful. The vocal is so emotive and rich-there is a reason no one sounds like this anymore. Scott was a one-off.
古いアメリカ映画みたいな、懐かしい曲ですね。
Tears flowing evry time i hear this beautiful song..what a talented man❤
My favourite song of all time sang by the most wonderful singer ever. His handsome boyish looks and deep velvety tones will be forever remembered by his many adoring fans young and not so young.
SPOT ON LOVE IT
I was only 18 and working behind a bar and cleaning in the morning and when the landlord let me in to clean he would put this song on the dukebox every morning.... To this day i dont know why but its a lovely song and it reminds me of the pub and the grate days we had
Love Scott Walker and this is a special treasure
Goodbye Scott. What a voice ! You gave so much pleasure to so many people. Rest in peace.
For me he is/was passion between lovers, it does not get any better than that.....R:I.P. darling.....
NOBODY sings like Scott Walker!
REALLY TRUE !!!
Guess you never heard of Engelbert Humperdink then o.O

In my misspent youth too many years ago, amongst many other great times, I played with Humperdinck (Gerry Dorsey) in the clubs and with the Walkers when on tour in Germany.

Scott would have been very ill at ease on a Las Vegas stage but that was where Ged came alive and did his best work. Very sorry to see John W had passed away as well.
1chish Totally agree with you, both have amazing voices, and great songs.
very different breeds indeed Scott was'nt pretenting to be English like that half chat rubbish you refer to as Humpifink or what ever things like him call themselves as it suits
What a beautiful song and singer ❤
My gorgeous Scott walker ; never forget this song xx
A voice in a million..a true classic RIP Scott
Scott’s voice gives this wonderful ballad the best performance it could ever have received from any singer. The depth of his voice and his ability to hold the notes so we’ll, really shows it at its very best. Thank you Scott. May you RIP.
I just unexpectedly lost my beautiful young mumma, my Joanna. When my sister and I were little we were always envious over how many beautiful songs had her name in them, she would laugh her wonderful laugh. I’m so glad I have so many songs like this now
Listening to this gem... in 2024
Happy Birthday today Scott would have been 80 years old. His voice and his music will live on forever 🥰🥰❤❤
Beautiful, best voice ever ❤️❤️
Wow..what a voice and what a song.Great vocal,great lyrics and a haunting melody.
Three things missing from most of todays songs.
Scott was a great singer and truly showcases his great voice.
Simply stunning
Such a classy, soulful singer. One of the very best. 👏👏👏
At least we still have his wonderful work to remind us of his great unique talent. RIP Scott.
RIP big fella. AMAZING VOICE, Brought up on his music, be sadly missed.
This song is so magical and sung so wonderfully.
Such a rich timbre to his voice, so smooth and warm. Like honey dripping from a spoon! Takes me back to my younger days in swinging London.
...and on his heart, there's still a trace of you...
Gets me every time. Perfect performance of a perfect song.
50 years on and still the heart melts at every hearing :-( :-)
My all time favourite singer. Voice that is unsurpassable.
He was gorgeous What a voice my mother loved this song RIP mammy
RIP scott walker a singer with a great voice
What an incredible voice the man had. R.I.P. Scott
He was a really fine pop singer. I never heard of him here in the US - but then I've never heard of plenty of good artists.

This surely ranks as one of the greatest vocal performances ever. It's the A-Z of singing.
Drusilla.
Totally agree.
He had a soft but perfect vocal.
He could certainly hold a note and with a melody
like this how could he fail.
Great song and a top drawer vocal
So very true
Agree totally forever magical
Absolutely. Rog. Pacific sunset records.
Just listened again to wonderful Scott walker's voice. Was feeling a bit down, but this version of Joanna made me smile again, it's so beautiful.
Such a deep, powerful voice coming out of such a handsome iconic gem of a man from the glorious '60s. RIP Scott Walker.
I had to listen to this, to hear his voice again and to remind myself of all the things I loved about him all those years ago
Still shockingly beautiful.
