Kurzbeschreibung
The Walker Brothers - John, Scott and Gary - were one of the biggest pop groups of the 1960s. Gifted with stunning voices and drop-dead-gorgeous looks, their appeal was irresistible. Massive hits such as 'Make It Easy On Yourself' and 'The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore' have become evergreen classics. At a time when the UK ruled the musical world, the Walker Brothers were one of the few American acts to matter. Yet within three years, the group had imploded and its members embarked on solo careers. In the 1970s they got back together again before lapsing into long years of silence - and then finally all three enjoyed a recent brilliant resurgence in their careers. For the first time, John and Gary Walker have broken their silence to reveal the truth about the group, and what led to the famous split and they lay bare the details of their private lives, including encounters with the other stars they met along the way, such as Walt Disney, Humphrey Bogart, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix. They tell what it was like to live in the glare of publicity and under siege by fans, and what the enigmatic Scott Walker was really like. Forget all you have read or heard about The Walker Brothers - this is the truth at last!

No Regrets
18. April 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book tells the most accurate account of The Walker Brothers years as teen idols, as it is told from Gary and John's point of view and who should know better. It gives an inside view of what actually went on during those years, making sure they correct other books who have given obviously false stories. It is funny, sad and takes you right back to those dizzy days when they were touring and thousands of teenage girls were screaming and crying just to get to see them for one time. Although Scott did not participate in the writing of this book, the insights given by both Gary and John help the reader to get a good idea what he really was like and to see his funny side too which is not often reported on, Scott had a terrific sense of humor and this comes across in some of the accounts. If you were and still are a Walker Brothers fan then this is the book for you, I thoroughly recommend it.

A must-read book for any Walker Brothers fan

I knew John Walker when I lived in London. I was therefore glad to see John and Gary collaborating on a book that would correct many of the untruths and speculations made in the biography of Scott Walker.
John and Gary take turns in narrating their story from their individual musical origins, up to the present time. Not surprisingly, their individual recollections differ slightly. But they do make specific points of correcting what they feel is incorrect in Scott's book. It's important to note that the band was originally started by John, not Scott, and that John and Scott shared the vocals equally, until it became apparent that Scott's voice was very marketable. And it was Gary who provided the impetus and financial backing for the three boys to go to England.
A few photos of their families are included. Like any fan, I would have liked to see more - but they do include some classics from their early days.
The book was a quick and easy read. Not exactly a literary masterpiece - hence the star deduction. But for any true Walker Brother fan, this book gives an enjoyable insight to the trio. It certainly made compelling reading.
