The Walker Brothers was a 1960's pop group founded in California, that ultimately found fame and fortune in the UK, rather than their homeland. The trio of
Scott Walker (Noel Scott Engel),
Gary Walker (Gary Leeds, formerly of
The Standells), and
John Walker (John Maus, November 12, 1943 - May 7, 2011) moved from the U.S. to Britain in 1965. Like The
Ramones, they were not related, and adopted the same last name as a show business touch. They had only minor success in the U.S., but topped the UK singles charts with
The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore, and
Make It Easy On Yourself.
