I first heard Rufus's version of "Hallelujah" on the DVD that came packaged with "Want Two," of a live concert he performed at the Fillmore in San Francisco.SavtaDottyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01101071675505516473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056790.post-1165934664165043482006-12-12T16:44:00.000+02:002006-12-12T16:44:00.000+02:00FYI -- Rufus' version of "Hallelujah" is not on hi...FYI -- Rufus' version of "Hallelujah" is not on his album "Want Two" and it is not on the soundtrack for the film "Leonard Cohen" I'm your man.

A great tribute and beautifully done.<BR/><BR/>It starts off with someone else singing one of his songs (bad) and finishes with him doing the same song (magnificent)<BR/><BR/>What a great poet. You'll love the movie.<BR/><BR/>DanSagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14432430424371614266noreply@blogger.com
