True. Bowie is a big Brel fan. And an early one as well. Kewl fellow, that Bowie. | |

Bowie did a good version of "My Death". Although Soft Cell did a better version. In fact, Marc Almond recored a whole album of Brel covers called "Jaques". . | |

I think Scott Walker's version is definitive, but that's just me. Walker made a mini-career of covering Brel in the late sixties - his version of Jackie is one of my favourite songs ever. | |
