@lightflower Leon Russell could do it because he would give the song its due respect. This song is a great work of art and should be treated as such. There are very few people who could add anything to it, since it already has the character of perfection. so, if a cover were to be done, it would have to be done in a style unlike that which Mr. Ferry and Roxy Music performed it. In other words, if someone covered it and tried to do it like the original version, it would be a disgrace to the song.
I haven't heard this in a long time; the cover art, the lyric phrasing, the voice, the feeling, the best album cover of all time... this list is endless... ROXY MUSIC....
An amazing album with the most amazing track,,,,,,,haunting lyrics... delivered in the way only Bryan Ferry could. Still listening to this album 37 years later from that 16 year old boy I used to be.... Even the album cover is timeless
i like Phil Manzaneras guitar

They should get Jacob Lusk from American Idol to sing this some time. I'm guessing he'll probably get an album, this might work for him.

@88mphsss nobody else apart from Bryan Ferry should sing this-it would be insulting for anybody else to do so.

truly ethereal start....I read somewhere that the 'Valerie' referred to was a local(?) starlet or a model during BF's youth in Newcastle.
Are there any LIVE clips of this mesmerising song? - was it ever played live?
