Andrea Bocelli and Daughter Virginia Sing Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah

Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah was originally released on his album Various Positions in 1984. Achieving little initial success, the song found greater popular acclaim through a recording by John Cale, which inspired a recording by Jeff Buckley.

Following its increased popularity after being featured in the film Shrek (2001), many other arrangements have been performed in recordings and in concert, with over 300 versions known. The song has been used in film and television soundtracks and televised talent contests. Hallelujah experienced renewed interest following Cohen's death in November 2016 and appeared on many international singles charts, including entering the American Billboard Hot 100 for the first time.

Now Andrea Bocelli, one of the greatest singers of our time, has included his rendition of the song in his latest album and is singing it during his 21 city USA tour, now underway.

Last month he performed it at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, accompanied by his 9-year-old daughter Virginia.

Here's the Hallelujah duet by the Bocellis. Enjoy!
