Scott Walker (born Noel Scott Engel; January 9, 1943 - March 25, 2019) was an American-born singer-songwriter, composer and record producer. He was noted for his distinctive baritone voice and for the unorthodox career path that has taken him from 1960s pop icon to 21st-century avant-garde musician. Walker's success has largely been in the United Kingdom, where his first three solo albums reached the top ten. He has lived in the UK since 1965 and became a British citizen in 1970.
