Portrait

Album by The Walker Brothers

Portrait presents lush orchestral pop built from dramatic, cinematic arrangements and deep, brooding baritone vocals. Its themes of romantic longing and melancholy anchor the music in the baroque pop tradition and lend it a widescreen, torch‑song grandeur.
First released: 1966
