  • The Walker Brothers were an American 1960s and 1970s pop group, comprising Scott Engel, John Maus, and Gary Leeds. They had a number of top ten albums and singles in the mid-1960s, including number 1 chart hits "Make It Easy on Yourself" and "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Anymore)". Formed in 1964, the three unrelated musicians adopted the 'Walker Brothers' name as a show business touch - "simply because we liked it". They provided a unique counterpoint to the British Invasion in that they were a group from the United States that only achieved success in the United Kingdom and Germany, while the popularity of bands such as The Beatles spread to the US.

  • The Walker Brothers était un groupe américain des années 1960 et 1970 de pop. Ils ont eu un grand nombre de succès au milieu des années 1960 dont plusieurs numéro 1 dans les charts "Make It Easy on Yourself" et "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine (Anymore)" Formés en 1964 ils ont adopté le nom 'Walker Brothers' bien qu'ils ne soient pas frères - "simplement par ce que nous l'aimions comme ça". Ils ont donné un contrepoids à la 'British invasion' dans le sens qu'ils ont eu du succès des deux cotés de l'Atlantique. Après une tournée d'adieu en 1968 le groupe est officielement dissout.
  • The Walker Brothers, amerikansk till största delen vokal musikgrupp. Medlemmar i gruppen var Scott Walker, Gary Leeds, och John Maus. Den här gruppen valde dock att rikta in sig på den brittiska marknaden, vilket visade sig vara en lyckad satsning. De slog igenom med låten "Make It Easy on Yourself" 1965. Följande år var också ett bra år för gruppen med hitsen "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" (även en stor hit i Sverige) och "My Ship Is Coming In". Deras låtar var ofta popballader med stor orkester. Redan 1967 var gruppens tid i rampljuset förbi och gruppen upplöstes samma år. Walker hade framgångar med sin solokarriär. På 1970-talet återförenades gruppen och hade då en hit med "No Regrets".
