Fave version of Hallelujah :)

I'm not positive of the number, but I think, over the years, Cohen, himself, made several versions.... not to mention all the versions other people made because Cohen was swindled out of the copyright protection by a guy I think was his "trusted" manager at the time.

But, I agree, Cohen does it best!

"Trusted" ha! Such a corrupt world we live in.

Again, I am not sure, but I think this was his original. You can tell how much younger the voice sounds. (However, I like the gravely voice of the 1985 [I think it was] London version better.)

 

[Willie T]

Leonard Cohen was a truly interesting person.

Oh my yes, I can hear how young his voice sounded. I once heard that Hallelujah is the highest form of worship there is...not sure what that entails though but, love this song! All I know about him is that he is from Canada and was Jewish? Also, there is a 2005 movie about him.

"Hallelujah", as I understand is also a universal word, in that almost all languages employ it.

Funny how things like Jeff Buckley's Grace album would become big after his death. Like many other artists. So sad he died so young

That hurts! LOL (I think the steel guitar hurts Nelson's rendition.)
