Actually, yes I am. You may be thinking of the Scott Walker of the Walker Brothers and, you are correct, I'm not the same person. But my real name is Scott Walker and I have been recording under that name for many many years.
@@scottwalker895 apologies for my mistake. Was looking for HIS version of "I Get Along Without You" (a long lost outtake) ..... Just a thought but, even though it's your real name, err ... did it ever enter your head to change it ? I mean, ya must get it all the time ?
@@johncollingwood7889 No worries, John. I didn't realize that Scott Engel [his real name] had recorded it, too. I do get questions about it from time to time; mainly from folks in the UK. The thing is, he was never well known in North America. My performing and recording career was well underway by the time I found out about him. Cheers, Scott
@@scottwalker895 Ok, take your point about his solo career not really taking off in the US which is a plus for you. So, are you saying your career began in the early 60's ? (I'm trying to decypher who came first !) ..... And, yes I DID know his REAL name was 'Engel' - did you mention that to strengthen your claim ? :) ......... Any plans to tour the UK under your birth name ? :) :) PS. Having just heard his version of 'IGAWYVW' for the first time - very disappointing. Think I prefer yours !
Hi, John. No, he got started way before me. I was mid-Seventies. I just meant that, by the time I found out about his solo career, through British relatives of my wife, my career was already well underway and I had already released the recording you listened to. No touring plans anywhere at the moment. If I were ever to tour the UK, there would have to be some concessions to his memory. Cheers, Scott
This AIN'T Scott Walker !
