Oh---there's another one!

I fell for him years ago. I was given a Woolworths token one Christmas and bought one of his cassettes because it had Stranger Song on it. It was the only song I'd heard of his at that time. When I took it back to university with me none of my friends liked it I could never understand why not. Maybe I'm weird but I never found it made me feel depressed and I loved his voice. Some of his lines are so memorable...I'm sure if we came back in in another century people would still remember his work.

Just been watching that documentary the one after the first one

Someone has just been talking about Hallelujah and said that love is like a "broken Hallelujah" how cool is that!!! A broken Hallelujah this is my take on that what you think


Hallelujah is a Hebrew word which means "Glory to the Lord." The song explains that many kinds of Hallelujahs do exist. I think "All the perfect and broken Hallelujahs have an equal value ." It's I think, a desire to affirm ones faith in life, not in some formal religious way but with enthusiasm, with emotion.

I love LC and i've only just read your post so I'm missed him on tv, I didn't know he was on, I hope its shown again.i've been a fan forever! got loads of his music and can play a few of his songs on my guitar.Also my very very fave singer songwriter Buffy Sainte Marie co wrote a song with him many years ago and they are great friends. I E mailed Buffy and she E mailed me back a few months ago and we had a great chat including talking about him, Buffy and a load of others did a tribute concert singing his songs, I asked her if she would consider singing Hallelujah and she said she thought enough people had already done it, but if she ever did it would be for me! Leonard is a fantastic songwriter his words are wonderful.I get very cross when people say he is depressing, I don't think he is at all, wonderful man!

Have a listen to this if you have never heard Rufus w.

He messes up at the end! Also On U tube he is singing Over the Rainbow----I love it but might be an aquired taste!
