Cohen's most famous song, “Hallelujah” has been covered by such artists as John Cale, Rufus Wainwright and Jeff Buckley and performed by almost 200 artists in various languages.

He released three albums in the final four years of his life with another released posthumously to make 15 studio albums in all.
