maybe 10 (give or take) years ago, I heard a song on Canadian Public Radio, sung by a woman, and the first verse or two were about (kind of a tribute, I guess) Mr. Cohen, and then Leonard himself sings with her for the last verse. Does anyone have any idea who sings this, or what the title is?

Welcome to the forum, holmes78! Please enjoy being here.

Unfortunately I don't know which recording you've heard at that time. Maybe you can remember more details? I'm sure, though, that someone will be able to help with this.

I don't think it is Leonard who sings the last verse. We know -- at least we believe that we do -- of all his guest appearances on the albums of other artists.

If the song really was ABOUT Leonard Cohen you could check the following listing - most of the songs about him are here:

The time and country would suggest that it was Nancy White's
Leonard Cohen Is Never Gonna Bring My Groceries In (1990) but of course this is just a guess. Nancy is at
