"Suzanne" is a song written by Canadian poet and musician Leonard Cohen in the 1960s. First published as a poem in 1966, it was recorded as a song by Judy Collins in the same year, and Cohen performed it as his debut single, from his 1967 album Songs of Leonard Cohen. Many other artists have recorded versions, and it has become one of the most covered songs in Cohen's catalogue.
Far Out and American Songwriter ranked the song number four and number two, respectively, on their lists of the 10 greatest Leonard Cohen songs.[1][2] In 2021, it was ranked at No. 284 on Rolling Stone's "Top 500 Greatest Songs of All Time".[3][4]
