Scott Walker is the stage name of the American singer-songwriter Noel Scott Engel (1943–2019), former lead singer with The Walker Brothers. He lived in the United Kingdom from the 1960s until his death.

His earliest material was released under his own name in the late 1950s. His most successful period in his career was between the years 1965 and 1970 where in he released three albums with The Walker Brothers, before going on to record a number of popular albums as a solo artist.

Walker's career faltered critically and commercially in the 1970s where he became stuck in a cycle of releasing lacklustre albums of MOR covers. In the mid-1970s Walker reformed The Walker Brothers with mixed results. Their final album together; Nite Flights (1978) was a sonic breakthrough for Walker. His next three albums – each released eleven years apart – developed and expanded his new direction.

Notes
  • A^ "I Don't Want To Hear It Anymore" was issued as a Scott Walker single in the US by Smash Records. The song and its b-side are actually Walker Brothers songs originally released in 1965 on the trio's début album; Take It Easy with the Walker Brothers.
  • B^ "Concerto pour guitare (Scene d'amour)", the b-side of "The Rope and the Colt", is not a Scott Walker song. It is performed by André Hossein. Walker's A-side and Hossein's b-side were each recorded for from the film Une Corde... Un Colt.
  • C^ "Patriot (A Single)" and "Tilt" are promo singles. They were released to promote Walker's 1995 album; Tilt. There were also respectively titled Scott 1 and Scott 2.
