Leonard Cohen performs "Suzanne" live on the Isle of Wight in 1970, during Cohen's first year of touring. The show became an album, Live at the Isle of Wight 1970. One of Cohen's best known songs, "Suzanne" had appeared on his first album, Songs of Leonard Cohen in 1967; even before that, it had been covered by Judy Collins on In My Life (1966). Since then, it has been covered by Joan Baez, Neil Diamond, Roberta Flack, Peter Gabriel, Pearls Before Swine, and Nina Simone, among others.
