Leonard Cohen, popular Canadian Singer/Songwriter passed away on November 7, 2016 at the age of 82.
Mister Cohen was a well known poet, singer and songwriter who might be classified in the folk genre, but I had actually never heard of him until I watched this video by Christina Amato some 7 years ago. She was doing a cover of Hallelujah, one of Mister Cohen's most popular songs. Christina sings to a music only track which is way back in the mix, so it's almost like she is singing a cappella.
Christina was 17 at the time, and was visiting her mother in Puerto Rico. Normally, Christina would make her videos from her home in Las Vegas where she lived with her beloved father, musician Tommy Amato who is seen often in Christina's videos and always looks happy!
Christina Amato has over 40,000 subscribers on YouTube and her videos have tens of thousands of views each. This one is one of her earlier videos, but in my opinion, she really brings a lot of power and charm and emotion to this wonderful song. Be sure to watch her facial expressions as she delightfully performs a great song by Leonard Cohen!
Christina is now a popular singer in the Las Vegas area, and is very popular on Periscope and other social media sites. Follow her from the inks on her website at http://www.christinamarieamato.com/
