Scott Walker (born Noel Scott Engel), aged 76. He’s the guy Bowie ripped off for his crooner voice – which Bowie readily admitted.
And in turn, Scott Walker owed a lot to Bill Medley, although Bowie copied SW more blatantly. We had a single of the Phil Spectorish “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore” at my house when I was growing up (I think one of my sisters bought it), but I didn’t know about his avant garde stuff until years after it came out. An interesting guy to say the least.
His newer material is pretty out there. Here’s a song he recorded with drone metal band Sunn O))) in 2014.

Most definitely out there.
