He deserves credit for seeing the gold in Cohen's song. I'm sure Buckley must have heard his version.

He's written other great songs, but Hallelujah reaches all generations. Thanks to the internet, it's now heard in choir form, solo, rock, folk and everything else. There's lots of versions on My Old Kentucky Blog @ http://myoldkyhome.blogspot.com/2008/02/mokb-covers-project-hallelujah-repost.html My favorite is by Allison Crowe. Versions by Rufus Wainright and John Cale in Shrek have really helped introduce the song to a younger audience. Hallelujah is becoming a modern classic. Good on Jason for picking it to sing!
