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.

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!
Bob

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!
