Scott Walker in so many words: We'll talk if you have an invitation

As quoted in DIGGING DEEPER: Walker security costs down considerably in 2016.  (WKOW, 6/27/2016)

The article notes that Walker has held 43 listening sessions so far this year.

A recent one was held in Pepin.

Written by Jimmy Campbell, Reg Connelly, and Harry M. Woods, "Try a Little Tenderness" was first recorded on December 8, 1932, by the Ray Noble Orchestra.

Frank Sinatra's version appeared on a 4-disc set of 78 rpm records, The Voice of Frank Sinatra, released on March 4, 1946.



Otis Redding's version made its debut on the Billboard Hot 100 on December 3, 1966.  It spent 10 weeks on the chart, peaking at #25.

In an inspired bit of programing, guest DJ Carly Simon played these 2 versions of this classic song back-to-back.
