Hello all,
I'm trying to recall a song that Leonard wrote about a famous female singer, and it's not Chelsea Hotel #2. Can anybody help me with this? I've racked my brain and searched all over the web.
Thanks,
Steve

Take This Longing was about Nico.

Is 'So long Marianne' too obvious?

Too obvious for what?
Marianne is from Sweden ans she never was famous, except for Leonard Cohen's song fame.
One Of Us Cannot Be Wrong is also about Nico, as is Take This Longing and Joan of Arc.

Hi Tangy10,
Are you referring to Marianne Faithful? If so, as was just discussed here recently, the song is not about her:
