As a solo artist, Walker released a number of well-received albums, and joined the Walker Brothers for a final album together in the 1980s.
He also produced numerous albums for other artists and was seen as an influential figure in the music world."He was a huge influence on Radiohead and myself, showing me how I could use my voice and words," Yorke said.
