Known for his moving pseudo-religious ballad Hallelujah which was famously covered by Jeff Buckley, Leonard Cohen was a Canadian singer-songwriter, poet, and novelist who explored topics like religion, isolation, depression, politics, sexuality, loss, and romantic relationships throughout his body of work.

Cohen got his start as a poet and novelist while living on a Greek island in the 60s. During this time, he penned a few songs that drew the interest of Judy Collins. Broke and disappointed by his lack of success at the time, Cohen moved to the United States in ‘67 to pursue a career in music full-time.

Judy Collins ended up landing a hit with his song ‘Suzanne’. From there, he ended up signing a record deal with John Hammond and released his first recording “The Songs of Leonard Cohen” in ‘67. Crippled by anxiety, Collins helped Leonard overcome his stage fright.

For the next couple of decades, Cohen’s fan base remained relatively small, although he did maintain a devoted cult-like following. In the late 90s, after Buckley covered Hallelujah, he experienced an unexpected boom in popularity. Since then he has gone to be considered one of the most well-respected and gifted songwriters of his era.

Cohen continued to record new material while touring regularly until his death in 2016. Unfortunately, since then his children have been embattled in a fierce fight over his wealth. In this facts-packed video, we’ll take a look at this sticky situation to see what might come of it.
