The Walker Brothers were an American pop group formed in 1964, consisting of Scott Engel (Scott Walker), John Maus (John Walker), and Gary Leeds (Gary Walker). Despite their origins in the United States, they experienced their greatest success in the United Kingdom and were part of the British Invasion. With their deep, melancholic vocals and lush orchestral arrangements, they brought a unique, dramatic sound to the pop genre, scoring hits like "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" and "Make It Easy on Yourself."

The band enjoyed their initial run of success between 1964 and 1968, before disbanding and then regrouping in the mid-1970s. Their 1970s work, including the album "Nite Flights," showcased a shift towards a more experimental and avant-garde sound, especially through Scott Walker's increasingly ambitious songwriting and production. Though they parted ways again in 1978, The Walker Brothers left an indelible impact on the music world with their distinctive style and the haunting beauty of their ballads.
