Product Description

As the Beatles and Rolling Stones climbed the U.S. charts, the Walker Brothers pulled off a successful U.S. invasion of the British charts. Moving to London in the mid-1960s, John Maus, Gary Leeds and Scott Engel suffered through poverty to launch a quest for pop stardom. Eventually, they would become a phenomenon in England, topping the British charts with "Make It Easy On Yourself" and "The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore." With their success came the trappings of the touring life, and an intense interest in their private lives — causing the band to split up just years later. Each of the members went on to record on a solo basis, but they eventually reformed and in 1978 recorded the album "Nite Flights," concluding their careers with a record that would go on to influence musicians for years to come. This biography draws on archive interview with the band and with those who contributed to their spectacular rise.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute must for anyone nostalgic for the heyday of the Walker Trio, October 10, 2009
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
One of the biggest acts of popular music in the 60s, The Walker Brothers star has greatly faded. "The Impossible Dream: The Story of Scott Walker and the Walker Brothers" tells the story of this trio of brothers who took America by storm throughout the 1960s and became one of the earliest teen idols. A complete and comprehensive biography of the group, all of their work is covered in much depth, as author Anthony Reynolds offers the history behind each song and album with much detail. "The Impossible Dream" is an absolute must for anyone nostalgic for the heyday of the Walker Trio or any who simply want to understand one of the obsessions of the 60s.
