On November 7, 2016, Leonard Cohen left his Earthly shell and songwriting lost one of its finest craftsmen. His words touched us in ways no other singer/songwriter did.
Already a published poet, this was his first musical album, released in 1967. It was followed by a string of 36 more introspective and philosophical beauties culminating with a final album released just three weeks ago.
Leonard was 82 years old and he was ready to go. He had said so. His songs will live forever.
We studied his poems in Jr. High ,a great talent.
One of a kind - great poet and song writer. Thank you for posting.
Agree with you but I think he was 82 and died a few days ago:(
Thank you - he was 82 and died Nov 7 - seems the nation was distracted around then and word is just getting out.
Vale Leonard !!!
I have that same album artfoot, one of my favorites. Saw him in concert in Edinburgh in the late 1970’s and in Washington DC in the 80’s
