Our Lady of The Harbor



I have loved this song, "Suzanne," since I first heard Judy Collins sing it probably in the mid to late 70's - about the time of this broadcast. I didn't know Leonard Cohen had anything to do with it until my Him introduced me to Leonard's music sometime in the 90's.

Apparently there was some dispute over who actually wrote it; Leonard Cohen or Judy Collins. I read somewhere that they were lovers at one point, so perhaps the inspiration was given to them at the same time...then they both gave birth to it.... :o)

Side note...Leonard Cohen is probably one of the most spiritual song writer/singers ever! I love Judy too of course - she is an amazing artist in many respects - her voice, writings, paintings, etc.

Peace and Love
