    AN ERA WHEN TRUE SINGERS SOUNDED JUST LIKE THEIR ALBUM WHEN SINGING LIVE. OR VICE VERSA. SUPERB SINGER WITH A BEAUTIFUL MASCULINE SMOOTH VOICE. MR. SCOTT WALKER SINGS THIS SONG BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE.

      A close second to the great Neil Diamond’s - recorded in ‘71 on his
      ‘ S t o n e s ‘ album. More ‘depth’ to Mr. Diamond’s baritone - suitably for this revered track .

    This guy had a unique voice, a real gift. He could turn his hand to any song, he was so versatile. I loved his music and still do, I have lots of mixes of his songs along with his compatriots, the Walker Brothers. His passing is a sad loss to the music industry but his music and songs live on, a true legend.

I remember the first time I heard his voice singing Love Her when I was a young 15 year old I was mesmerised by him still am every time I hear him. The quality and tone in his voice was unique. Thank you so much Guidofski

    His phrasing is quite beautiful on this version so the slightly less than perfect sound can be ignored and just thank God I can hear it. Because I saw him sing this more than once on TV, I can 'see' him singing this: and prefer this simpler arrangement to the recorded one.

You were so lucky to have been there at the time, too!

  • @willemvandeursen3105
    @willemvandeursen3105 2 роки тому +1

    On his album Scott 3, the finale is with a female choir. Although the choir sings heavenly, and Scott sings it in an almost sacral way, I sometimes doubted if it did Brel's composition justice. Brel performed it in an introspective way too, choking up, and with emotional outbursts. Although Brel did have a combo backing in the finale, he would never have used a classical choir.
    Around that time, the critics started to come in, "Walker is not Brel! He doesn't have the emotional power Brel had."
    No, Scott was no Brel. He didn't pretend to be one. He did the songs in HIS style, with the voice HE had. It's a fact though that his emotions never became rowdy, he never went beyond sophistication and elegance.
    I think he did Brel fantastic. Especially in sarcastic, satirical songs like "Funeral Tango" and "Next", which he did in a snobbish and life-weary tone. Also, thanks to Scott, I finally could understand what the French lyrics were about! (Translated by Rod McKuen or Mort Shuman)
    The choir in If You Go Away increases the melancholy, the heartbroken mood. Here, I hear his live version without backing singers, and that quality is still there, it's still a very melancholic song.
    Yet I prefer the 1969 album track. For me, that is the ultimate version.

    ".......and I'd have been the shadow of your dog, if you'd only kept me by your side......."----the original lyrics at the end. They kind of, DRIVE HOME the point too much for Rod McKuen, I guess. Jacques Brel once said of this song of his that it's about "the cowardice of men".
