Can’t really say that the Roxy Music version of “Avalon” is a cover of a Benny Goodman classic, but I will say that despite the crisp snappiness of the latter, I’ll go with Mr. Ferry’s crooning of what is IMO one of their best numbers. (along with “Out of the Blue”, “The Strand”, “Editions of You”).

But I mention it as a near miss because Cage the Elephant, Lund and Zuzu all released their songs within the same 12 month period which is kinda interesting. ---
