I was listening to Cohen's "Take this waltz" and I was struck by the divine feminine voice that "intrudes" during the 5th minute of the song. Does anyone know to whom it belongs ? If it's just someone from his band or a special appearance for that song only ? Ok, back to listening to the song...

Here ya go: Leonard Cohen: Singer of Mercy:

quote:
John Bilezikjian's ode playing on 'Everybody Knows' is as spooky as it is tasteful, and Jennifer Warnes' beautiful falsetto on 'Take This Waltz' will break whatever piece of your heart that the song leaves untouched.

More info on her at www.jenniferwarnes.com.

I had to go on the web because the CD has been in my car pretty much since I got it. [Smile]
