Happy Tuesday! It has been quite the week, hasn’t it?
Among the many newsworthy stories over the past week, one that stood out in the music community was the death of singer/songwriter Leonard Cohen, who passed away this past Thursday at the age of 82. I’d unknowingly included a cover of his song “Is This What You Wanted” by The Last Shadow Puppets in last Tuesday’s Jukebox, and no more than two days later, the song’s original writer had passed.
So, while I don’t have much knowledge of Cohen, I’ve included his early hit, “Suzanne,” as the Jukebox’s leading track this week.
Alongside Cohen are 19 more tracks by the likes of The Smiths, Childish Gambino, The 1975, and Glass Animals.
RIP Leonard Norman Cohen.
