Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah" is the one everybody knows. Who wrote the song and put it on record first, long before Buckley sang it?Leonard Cohenknewkept
Leonard Cohen
Hallelujah · 1985 · via Jeff Buckley

The man who wrote it cut it first, back in 1985, so this is the song before Jeff ever touched it. Play the two side by side and you'll hear exactly what Jeff decided to keep.
