"Long About Now"?
Jun 02, 2005, 12:40
Who can enlighten me about this Scott Walker song? Is there a recording of him doing available? I seem to remember being told way back that it was a minor hit for some woman. Would love to hear him doing it, though.

Well, that was easier than I imagined. Always thought this was a complete rarity.

Is this album worth getting? Or should I be sparking up soulseek?

>>"Long About Now" is a beautiful ballad.... but Scott doesn't even sing it! Instead, Esther Ofarim gives a powerful rendition of what is one of Scott's best, least known songs.

Hmmm. So, is there a recording of him doing it anywhere? Think I will pick up the album, anyhoo. Sounds like an interesting mixed bag.
