The album Songs of Leonard Cohen was the Canadian poet Leonard Cohen's debut into the world of popular music. Cohen's lonely, pathetic, and all-too-human songs were a marked contrast against the feel-good Hippie music and culture dominating at the time. This album is generally considered to be the best out of Cohen's discography. Judy Collins and Noel Harrison had both previously had hits performing the song "Suzanne" (in 1966 and 1967 respectively). Cohen and John Simon, producer and "musical director", managed to give the album a distinct sound while also relying on typical sixties effects such as instruments panning from channel to channel. Although Cohen was granted much freedom in the recording process, they did not always agree on how the record should be mixed. Finally, Simon departed for his Christmas holiday and left the final mix to the artist himself. In a 2001 interview he told British music magazine Mojo: "We did have a falling out over the song "Suzanne". He wanted a heavy piano syncopated and maybe drums and I didn't want drums on any of my songs, so that was a bone of contention."
