Tim Moore wrote "Second Avenue", and the American singer-songwriter issued his own recording in the '70s as the second single from his debut LP. The luck was lousy: Art Garfunkel, billed simply as Garfunkel, put out a version of the same song at the same time, and his drew the bigger share of the attention.
That leaves Moore's take as the writer's own reading of his song, gentle enough to be filed under easy listening. The song found other admirers down the line, too; Colin Blunstone recorded it in 2009 for The Ghost of You and Me.
