@kenedal1 I like very much the version of Norah and Bonnie I tried to make a cove of their version (watch it in my channel if you'd like to comment) but actually their feeling for music is unreachable
a poet an lyricist yes a legend yes but singer ? and as for best version of this song ever ..... WTF you been smokin , i'm sure you could count on your 12 fingers many better versions
You know if they make a movie about Leonard Cohen, Adam Sandler and Dustin Hoffman would make a great Leonard Cohen. Sandler plays young LC and Hoffman as Old LC.
@ThymeBottle I happen to be good with it....I mean Sandler would have to change his tone of voice and resonance...and if you ever hear Sandler sing a meaningful song he sounds pretty good.
Not bad at all, but back in 1959 the great Bobby Comstock recorded the very best version ever released of this song. Check it out, it is really rockin´.

i have always admired Leonard Cohen as a great talent and poet. However seems strange for a Jewish Boy from Canada to be singing this. I would rather her Elvis or Patti Page do this one.
that he acquired Bill Black's upright bass from his widow. Bill Black was Elvis' bass player from the Sun Records days. Scotty Mooore, Elvis' original guitarist from Sun, is considered "The Guitar that Changed the World." Don't discount those guys.
We all owe them a lot. They helped open the floodgates.
Personally I believe that upright bass belongs in the Museum of Rock and Soul in Memphis. On the other hand it's good to know it's still being played. Maybe when Paul McCartney leaves this mortal plane he'll donate it.
I really wasn't expecting it to sound this good. Wow, always count on Mr. Cohen to give a song a liitle more meaning even with all the amazing females who have sung it.
JUST AWESOME..THANK YOU SO MUCH

Why does it surprise me that L.C. sounds better than all the others? He is always a master of making a song his own. A delight to listen to.

I like it a lot, but on the other hand, it's a bit over-produced, like most of Lennie's stuff.

why the hell would you want to hear Elvis?
rvcrvc2 2 years ago
Because Elvis is the King! Even Leonard Cohen knows that. As does Bob Dylan & Joan Baez & Bruce Springsteen. As did
Phil Ochs, John Lennon and Michael Jackson. Leonard Berstein considered Elvis the most influential individual of the 20th century. Widen your soul.
