60s Scott Walker: Classic Or Dud

I've read with interest your responses. I must say I think It's
Raining Today: The Scott Walker Story (1967-70) to be nearly perfect.
Who else would write about an aging transvestite ( Big Louise)?
That song, including the lyrics are classic. And what about Jackie, The World's Strongest Man, It's Raining Today, Next, and Little Things
That Keep Us Together? Brilliant. I'm not crazy about the Walker Brothers and Scott's HORRIBLE "Jack Jones" pieces. I mean, ABSOLUTELY
HORRIBLE. His solo work is inconsistent but overall good. I'm looking
forward to the documentary.

Such a serious young man. I advise skipping forward to two minutes in so you don't have to watch more of this crap than you have to. And such skinny legs.
