A "long lost" track composed by the"British Bacharach" Tony Hatch !
Performed by the legendary Scott Walker...a truly great singer !

"Joanna"
Thanks for this lovely song and a fine, sensitive performance.
As I listened to Scott Walker sing this piece, his style reminded me so much of Tony Bennett. Does anyone else hear what I'm hearing?

Hi, According to Paul Howes in the CD booklet for "Classic & Collectibles" by Scott Walker, "Joanna" was written for film "Joanna" by Tony Hatch and his wife, Jackie Trent, directed by Michael Sarne (who also directed "Myra Breckinridge"!) but never used in that film. He also states that the song reached #7 on the British charts in May 1968.
