Folk legend Judy Collins has paid tribute to Leonard Cohen, after the musical icon died age 82.

His own version was released the year after as his first single. She told 5 live Drive he was 鈥渧ery good looking, interesting, deeply philosophical and mysterious.鈥 Judy also described the moment she heard Cohen for the first time: 鈥淚 knew this was it, this was phenomenal. This was going to take the world to a new place鈥︹ This clip is originally from 5 live Drive on 11 November 2016.
