He is noted for his distinctive baritone voice and for the unorthodox career path which took him from 1960s pop icon to 21st century avant-garde musician.
Originally coming to fame in the mid-1960s singing orchestral pop ballads as the frontman of The Walker Brothers, Walker went on to a solo career balancing a light entertainment/MOR ballad approach with increasing artistic innovations in arrangement and writing. Despite a series of acclaimed albums, a disastrous drop in sales forced him back into straight Middle of the road recordings with little of his own artistic input. This in turn eventually led to a Walker Brothers reunion in the mid-1970s (although the latter eventually moved, by mutual consent, into more avant-garde areas).
From the mid-1980s, Walker revived his solo career while drastically reinventing his artistic and compositional methods, via a series of acclaimed and vividly avant-garde albums. These combined his iconic voice with an unsettling avant-garde approach which owed more to modernist and post-modernist classical composition than to his pop singer past. This change in approach has been compared to "Andy Williams reinventing himself as Stockhausen".
Walker has been a continuing influence on other artists, in particular The Last Shadow Puppets, Marc Almond, Goldfrapp, Douglas Pearce of the band Death in June, Billy MacKenzie of The Associates, David Sylvian, Julian Cope, Antony Hegarty, Thom Yorke, Steven Wilson, David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Trey Spruance, Perry Blake, Radiohead, Noah Lennox, Mikael Åkerfeldt, and the Divine Comedy/Neil Hannon.
Walker continued to release solo material until his death, and was signed to 4AD Records. As a record producer or guest performer he worked with a number of artists including Pulp, Ute Lemper, Bat For Lashes and Sunn O))).

Da Vrik, I'm aware of the requirements to run for President. You are missing the point.
Again, if Scott Walker was a female or a minority and didn't have a college degree, do you think he would had even been looked as a potential candidate as an elected official in any capacity. Hell no!
The point is, it's a DOUBLE STANDARD!

Sorry boys but, there's an old saying that rings true and it most certainly would pertain to you: "Evil succeeds when good men do nothing." Your father is a danger, a real, tangible danger, to LGBT and Unionized citizens of your country. That you would stand by and allow him to commit acts of violence, both figurative and literal, all while paying lip service to the idea of "disagreeing with him" is not only offensive intellectually, it's cowardice.

If Scott Walker were my dad, I'd run away from home!

@w67bv2cxm I don't think Walker has a snowball's chance in hell. I don't think Scott Walker thinks he has a snowball's chance in hell. I don't think the two men who put and keep him there, who are financing this latest stunt, think he has a snowball's chance in hell but, as they say in the movie business, there's no such thing as bad publicity.
He's being groomed. He along with several others. The Koch brothers can afford that. Then maybe one of the many will turn out to be 'useful' someday. General Electric groomed Ronald Reagan throughout his entire career. I know. I lived through Reagan's eight years as governor of California. When he ran for president, I thought, No way! It took me a full year after his election to wake up to the disastrous reality of the situation, and it's been downhill, ever since.
That's what money can do.
I do not know what the Koch brothers have up their sleeve nor whether they'll succeed, but I do know that whatever it is, it ain't good.

There is loyalty, and then there is this: condoning hate, and destruction of the state's fiscal and political health. This is a fail for the Walker boys. You SHOULD try and change his mind, if you feel strongly about what you believe.

The sons shouldn't respect their father's opinion on gay rights (marriage equality). The problem is, the father doesn't just have an opinion, he has the political power to enshrine that opinion into law -- harming gay Americans in the process. That's nothing to respect. The fact that they willingly support his campaign really shows a lack of character on their part. Would they still be supporting their father if he were denigrating African-Americans, and trying to pass laws that harm them? Doubtful.

@***** says the guy who can't argue or debate facts so he uses slurs.....hypocrite much?

Im from wisconsin. I just watched this and Walker makes me sick with his lies. Yeah the property taxes were set to raise and it has been flat and a small decrease of 8 dollars over two years. But we were looking at a all time high for fishing until he took office reversed a bill meant to clean pollution, he made it easy for dumping into our waterways. Just passed a law to make it seem that you can now volunteer your 24 hour of rest at the end of a 7 day work week. We had this choice the whole time i have been working saturday and sunday for years. Its just that they pay me overtime when i come in and they couldnt fire me if i said no. He cut education from elementry all the way up almost every year to help his budget. He is on many tv channels praising companies for adding good paying jobs at 10 dollars an hour as a temp. All the job growth was mostly 10 dollars and failed to make jobs even when he flipped the state with right to work. Then out of blue this year he just ignores the states problems and takes off flying all over the world so he can put that on his president checklist.

That #1 spot in Iowa didn't last long did it?

I have tremendous difficulty believing that scott walker or anyone else believes that scott walker could become president.
I submit that walker's candidacy only makes sense when you consider the mutual admiration society comprised of scott walker and scott brown.
Like scott brown, politics may serve as a springboard to allow for greater sales of Advocare diet supplements.
brown's facebook indicates that Advocare helped him lose 42 pounds. If Advocare can help him shed his remaining mass, then it is truly a miracle product.
