Hallelujah" for Grammy consideration.
"
Hallelujah" was released in 1984 by
Leonard Cohen who reportedly had written 80 verses for the song before deciding on those included in the final recording. Netflix recently added a documentary about
Leonard Cohen and the song called appropriately, "Hallelujah."

Hallelujah" written by Leonard Cohen, has been covered by many great singers groups, and bands to date including Jeff Buckley, Pentatonix,
