Jacques Brel, Covered By...

Most singers harbouring a sense of drama and sophistication are indebted to Jacques Brel, a titan of melancholic grandeur. Scott Walker built a career in tribute, his take on Brel's morbidly sumptuous “My Death” being a centrepiece. Elsewhere, there's Terry Jacks' more playful approach, Marc Almond's lusty toast and Shirley Bassey's bejewelled reinterpretation.
