The Walker Brothers - Song of the Week

Now here is something very cool for this week's video clip, not just a performance, but an interview too. Gary Walker of The Walker Brothers, the trio from Los Angeles who became huge in the UK, is interviewed and then the guys perform their second hit, Make It Easy On Yourself, the Hal David and Burt Bacharach song. And it's our Song of the Week.

Enjoy!

About Me

Name: Michael Godin

Location: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

I love good music - period, but I have a passion for the music of the '50, '60s and '70s. I started Treasure Island Oldies for two reasons: I had to get back on the air; I missed radio so much. I also got tired of hearing "good times and 'eight' oldies", and knew with all my previous radio programming experience, I could offer a weekly oldies show that would feature familiar songs but also a lot of ‘instant memories’, songs you have not heard since they were first played on the radio for a short time, then disappeared, seemingly forever. I knew having someone hear a song they have not heard for literally 30 or 40 years, would touch a nerve. Perhaps the memory of a special occasion, or maybe just another day, that particular song really caught their ear back then. And every time I play one of those what I call Lost Treasures, I get immediate individual feedback from the chat room, email and my blogs. So I play a lot of music heard hardly anywhere else. Join me live Sundays 6 to 10 p.m. Pacific, and also, the weekly show archives at www.TreasureIslandOldies.com Let the memories flow!
