John Walker of THE WALKER BROTHERS Dead: Rest in Peace
By Geno McGahee
I am a huge fan of oldies music and The Walker Brothers had their fair share of hits, including “Make it Easy on Yourself” and “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore,” but the sad news came today that John Walker, the founder of the band, passed away at age 67.
The Walker Brothers rivaled The Beatles and The Rolling Stones in popularity and still get a great deal of play on every oldies station. Their videos on YouTube gets hundreds of thousands of hits and continue to grow as the younger generation discovers them and their music.
RSR sends our condolences to the Walker family and encourage our readers to check out their music. RIP John Walker.
