Recently I heard on the radio a cover on Dylans "To Ramona" that sounded a lot like Brian Ferry singing.
But I can not find any such recording. Do you know who it might have been?
The vocals is obviously sung in a Brian Ferry-like style, Britisg English, and the accomponionment is a piano. The whole thing has a very delicate touch to it, bringing out the lyrics really well.

Never heard of a Bryan Ferry cover.
Could be Alan Price - at least he's English and he once was The Animals keyboardist as well as the (drunk) guy who hung out with Dylan in Don't Look Back.
Chris Hillman sings it with The Flying Burrito Brothers. There's another version by the Gosdin Bros but somehow I don't think it's that.
Here's a link to a recent re-issue of the Alan Price Set's The House That Jack Built: The Complete 60's Sessions - Import:
Here's an album and tracklist also with a Price version:
