OK, stretching the category 'News' somewhat ... but:

Did I imagine it or did the BBC4 Sounds of the Sixties prog last Friday (5 Nov) end with an on-screen snippet to the effect that Manfred Mann's 1968 song 'My Name's Jack' ( 'and I live in the back / of the Greta Garbo Home / for Wayward Boys and Girls') was co-written by LC?!

On-line searches have revealed that the song is credited to one John Simon. Same person as the producer of the first album?

Any info out there?

This is the only place I've found where there is mention of Leonard Cohen, Manfred Mann and "My Name is Jack"

Not much help I'm sorry

John

Thanks for this and for establishing that it's the same John Simon. I'll keep digging!
