    Leonard Cohen asked ppl to stop recording this song after kd's version saying it is the quintessential one. I was lucky enough to be there that night and what made it even more emotional was the death of a luge athlete earlier that day. kd lang is the truth and Tony Bennett called her the greatest singer that ever lived.

    kd lang is the only singer I listen to do this song anymore.
    I think this secular interpretation might have been Leonard Cohen’s favorite. She sang it at his induction to the Canadian Songwriter’s Hall of Fame and at the tribute concert on the 1 year anniversary of Cohen’s death.

      I saw her twice here in the States; the first time I went by myself and it was absolutely epic. The only concert that topped that experience was when the one and only time I saw Leonard Cohen (State Theatre in Detroit); I took my mom as a mother's day present because she LOVED LC. We ended up sitting in the orchestra pit - and we were less than 10 feet away from LC and Julie and Perla. I made my mom hang out behind the theatre after the concert like true groupies and we ended up meeting LC and getting his and everyone's autograph; he shook our hands and thanked us for coming and enjoying the show. He was so genuine and warm. We almost ended up following his bus to Chicago! LOL

I watched her on tv that day amazed but not surprised to see her wow the whole world with that voice. I am a Canadian and recognize her as the national treasure she is. Her song list is extensive, covering everything from Roy Orbisons Crying to her fabulous Constant Craving. Hope you dive a little deeper into her music. She is just wonderful! Bucket list hope is to see her in concert one day before I die. Love KD Lang to pieces!

    I have had the honor and pure pleasure of seeing k.d 5 times. The 1st time was at some country fair in the late 80's. Her young voice was powerful and wild. TH-cam Johnny Carson, he introduced k.d to the American audience. Her performances on his show were fantastic. Her live performances were always better than any recording, in my experience. She is the greatest singer of our time.❤

    kd is best known for 1992’s “Constant Craving”, which was her biggest selling song. She had previously won Grammies for her 1989 duet with Roy Orbison on a rerelease of “Crying”, and her performance on the country album ‘Absolute Torch and Twang’.
    Very quirky in the early days of her career. She came out as gay, after her ‘Ingenue’ album, which included “Constant Craving”. The surrounding controversy got her banned from a number of US radio stations.

      Her solos of “Crying” are good. If you can find her performance at Roy Orbison’s tribute, it’s powerful.
      Roy’s wife asked kd to sing it at his induction to the Songwriters Hall of Fame after he had passed.
      She’s actually got a co-writing credit with The Rolling Stones. Keith Richards unconsciously lifted a part of the “Constant Craving” melody likely because his daughter was listening to it in the house.

After her interpretation on the JUNO in 2007(Canadien music award) he said that she truely carry the spirit of that song.

Too many warblers and screamers have overdone it and ruined it and only 2 other Canadians have done justice to the Canadian master's original. After Mr Cohen, (who I met, in London back in the late 60s) this is so good and captures the mood of the song. Then there's Rufus Wainwright's version. Other than those you can keep the rest.
      It helps that I've loved KD's work, since she started out. As for Rufus - born in New York but raised in Canada, in quite a musical family - the McGarrigles and the Wainwrights.
