Better known for his songs being covered by others. Leonard Cohen has sadly shuffled off this mortal coil. Perhaps his best known work?

 

 

A beautiful classic:

 

 

This used to be the signature of some HBO American Sex programme when I spent a bit of time in Brazil. Brings back fond memories. One of only a handful of English language programmes broadcast at the time:

 

 

They used a lot of his  stuff in movies like 'Scent of a Woman':

It's been a cruel year.

 

That'll do Leonard. That'll do.

As tributes go thats fucking pathetic!

 

How can you distill one of the greatest contributors to modern music and art in to 'Better known for his songs being covered by others'? No he fucking well wasn't! He was known around the world for dozens of brilliant and lauded albums, not because some fucking xfactor chimp covered him. The man sold tens of millions of beautifully conceived albums and you reduce it to his songs being covered by lessers, fuck off.

 

Is Tom waits' biography going to read 'As covered by Springsteen'? Is it fuck! So why reduce one of the greatest, if not the greatest, to a mere footnote?

 

Educate yourself before you try to educate others!

His new album is excellent, anyone had a listen? Just as poetic as his earlier work.

 

He's the only artist I've seen live that has made my eyes leak a little. Still gutted, this death trumps the rest of the ones this year combined.

Bonafide hero. Saw him live myself. Not the only tear jerker but a legend all the same.
