In the last few days I've heard Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" sung by 3 different people: Willie Nelson, Rufus Wainwright and, of course, Leonard.
Leonard is the man. (Kurt Cobain sang, "Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld / so I can sigh eternally...") If he had never recorded anything other than his first album - the haunting "Songs of Leonard Cohen" - he would still be revered as a songwriter.
Thank you Leonard. You've made the world a better place.
