Portrait of Canadian singer, songwriter, musician and poet Leonard Cohen. His most famous recording "Hallelujah" was first released on Cohen's studio album "Various Positions" in1984. The song had limited initial success but found greater popularity through a 1991 cover by John Cale, which formed the basis for a later cover by Jeff Buckley. "Hallelujah" has been performed by almost 200 artists in various languages. Cohen spent years struggling with the song; he wrote perhaps as many as 80 verses before paring the song down and recording it on the 1984 album "Various Position".
