Heino, born Heinz Georg Kramm, is a legendary, iconic figure in the world of German music. Rousing pop versions of traditional songs became his trademark. And…he has a certain…something, all his own.

With My Shillelagh Under My Arm
Mr. Harry Lillis “Bing” Crosby here covers a variety of material, in his nonpareil manner.
The above are audio tracks that span a fairly large time period of Scott Walker’s remarkable body of recorded work.
And a few Walker Brothers masterpieces.

Scott Walker, born Noel Scott Engel, 1943, a musical artist of profound depth and originality, was (and is) a cherished figure for millions worldwide. Reclusive, enigmatic, innovative, Scott occupies a unique place in the pantheon of recording artists. He’s also very near and dear to my own heart. He will be deeply missed.
Many will remember Scott Walker’s sublime work with ballads; many others love his idiosyncratic, Brel-influenced blossoming into a top-notch composer and performer; still more prefer the uneasy, discomfiting terrain and eerie beauty of his later recordings. I’ll remember him for all of it, for everything. There’s no replacing him. We’ll never see his likes again.
Memorial post here.
The sublimely gifted, somewhat offbeat {esp. back in the day…} whistling mæstro, composer, and vocalist Roger Whittaker is herein featured. Equipped with a manly baritone not unlike burnished mahogany, this great man can just plain deliver the goods (his nonpareil winning ways being what they are). A true original. ∎.
