Diana Ross and Roberta Flack

[Yankovic]

I just heard that Diana Ross and Roberta Flack have covered Leonard Cohen songs! Does anyone know which ones and which years these happened?

Flack, Roberta: Hey, that's no way to say goodbye on "First take", USA 1971
Flack, Roberta: Summertime on "Set the night to music", USA 1991
Flack, Roberta: Suzanne on "Killing me softly", USA 1973

Ross, Diana Summertime on "Red hot rhythm and blues", USA 1987

These and 1.361 other Leonard Cohen covers are listed in alphabetical order (by the artist)
at http://www.leonardcohenfiles.com/test.html

Flack, Roberta: Summertime on "Set the night to music", USA 1991

Ross, Diana Summertime on "Red hot rhythm and blues", USA 1987

I'm guessing "Summertime" is a Leonard Cohen written song that Leonard Cohen never performed himself on any of his albums or concerts.

Do you have a seperate list of all the songs that were wriiten by Leonard Cohen for other artists, but never recorded by Leonard Cohen himself? Or did you just lump them in with everything else?

How many of those exist? Is Summertime the only one?

Priests - Judy Collins - either tribute CD, Judy Collins Sings Leonard Cohen: Democracy (2006) or Wildflowers (1967)

Yankovic,
there is indeed a separate list at
http://www.leonardcohenfiles.com/forothers.html
with some of the songs (thos that I have had lyrics for)
but these songs also appear in the cover lists
(except the songs written for Night Magic)
