Scott Walker, who started out as singer with the Walker Brothers before establishing a reputation as a solo artist, died at the age of 76 on March 25, his record label confirmed.

“For half a century, the genius of the man born Noel Scott Engel has enriched the lives of thousands, first as one third of the Walker Brothers, and later as a solo artist, producer and composer of uncompromising originality,” 4AD said in a statement. “[A]udacious and questioning, he has produced works that dare to explore human vulnerability and the godless darkness encircling it.”

The Walker Brothers formed in 1964, and also featured John Walker and Gary Walker – real surnames Maus and Leeds respectively. They’re best remembered for their hit singles “Make It Easy on Yourself” and “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine (Anymore).”
