Summary Recorded by everyone from Bono to Justin Timberlake to Susan Boyle, familiar to those who have seen Shrek and The West Wing, and used both for post-9/11 tributes and the telethon to raise money for Haiti after the earthquake, Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah is one of the most recognizable songs in rock history. It wasn’t always thus. Rolling Stone senior editor Light tells its story.
