Actually the other way round.
Englebert Humperdinck probably influenced Scott Walker!! Enge had been around all through the late fifties and sixties, so he would have been well know to the Walker Bros.
Having seen Englebert several times in London, he's a marvellous turn too!! What a voice: a sort of male Shirley Bassey!! What I call classical pop. One of the highlights is when he does a number without the microphone, just to prove he can really sing!!
Another tuppence ha'penny worth!!
