:?: Dance me to the end of love question

[Avital]

Hi

My favourite Leonard song is "Dance me..." and I would like to know who's the woman singing in the backround. I love her voice

Thank you,
Avital.

It was the excellent Jennifer Warnes, who did an album of Cohen covers a year or two after Various Positions was released.

She has a beautiful voice.

Thanks

Avital.

Hi Avital

It depends on which version of the song you're listening to.

If it's from "Various Positions" (1984) it's Jennifer Warnes.
If it's from the Live performance in Montreaux (1985) it's Anjani Thomas
If it's from the "Cohen Live" album (1993) or the "More Best Of" (1997) it's Julie Christensen and Perla Batalla.

They're all good!

Well...I'm actually talking about the Live performance in Montreaux song... !

On 1985 tour it was Anjani Thomas. She was excellent in duetting Leonard, especially on Night Comes On, If It Be Your Will, and she does the sinthesizer during all concerts.
She also excellent duets Leonard on Waiting For The Miracle on "The Future". (Yes, that's she!)
If somebody has her albums "Anjani" and "The Sacred Names" please tell me!

Oops...I'm sorry. I was wrong.
I asked about the song from "More Best Of" . So it's Julie Christensen and Perla Batalla....

Thanks again,
Avital.
