Take a look back at how Leonard Cohen’s 'Hallelujah' became a Christmas hit decades after its release.
It’s just the latest twist in the ongoing story of what may be the world’s least likely standard, which originally appeared on Cohen’s 1984 album,.
The song only became iconic two decades ago, after John Cale’s version was used on thesoundtrack and Buckley’s version appeared in a video VH1 made in tribute to Sept. 11 rescue workers. Around that time, it also began to be used in religious services, its Old Testament imagery and chanted one-word chorus offering a solemnity that seemed to fit weddings, funerals and various occasions in between.
