Leonard Cohen, originally on the 1984 album Various Positions, an album that originally had a troubled history being the first not to be released in The US on Columbia (It was originally on the Indie label Passport). One of the first known covers was by John Cale (ex-Velvet Underground), but in my opinion it was Jeff Buckley who brought it to a wider audience.
