Legendary Canadian singer-songwriter and poet Leonard Cohen has died aged 82. He was considered one of the “Holy Trinity” of singer-songwriters alongside Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell, and was noted for his command of metaphor and imagery. Although Cohen never gained Dylan’s popularity, he was still a hugely talented and influential songwriter whose work was loved by millions.
Cohen’s best known song was “Hallelujah”, made famous by covers by Jeff Buckley and John Cale, but his discography has a tremendous depth. An ideal starting point is his first album, Songs of Leonard Cohen.
Rest In Peace.
