Backing singers on first two albums?

Post by Mark A. Murphy »

Does anybody know the names of the female backing singers Leonard used on his first two albums?

Nancy Priddy, Corlynn Hanney and Susan Mussman were on the first, Songs of Leonard Cohen

And on Songs from a Room there was Corlynn Hanney and Susan Mussman.

I hope that is right, if not someone else will let you know.
I guess it all started for me sometime around Christmas 1967 and now, goodness me, it's.........2018 and over fifty years later.
No one ever listens to me. I might as well be a Leonard Cohen record.

They were outstanding. Did he use them elsewhere on other albums?
