Cohen pursued a career as a poet and novelist during the 1950s and early 1960s, and did not begin a music career until 1966. His first album, Songs of Leonard Cohen (1967), was followed by three more albums of folk music: Songs from a Room (1969), Songs of Love and Hate (1971) and New Skin for the Old Ceremony (1974). His 1977 record Death of a Ladies' Man, co-written and produced by Phil Spector, was a move away from Cohen's previous minimalist sound.
He was 32 not 60.
Gonna watch the Superb Owl today? I love occult festivals.
My mistake. Cohen started his MUSIC career at the age of 32. In his London concert he remarked that he had "a dream" of a singing career at "the tender age of 60," I must have misheard or misunderstood.

A simple thank you! :)
We lost a great poet, song writer, and singer when he passed. Imagine, he started his singing career at the tender age of 60!,
I’m happy you enjoyed this. I’ll be posting more.
60?
He was born in 1934.
