About Suzanne

Roberta Flack is renowned for her soulful interpretations of classic songs, and her cover of Suzanne is a notable example of her artistry. Flack's rendition, performed live with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, showcases her ability to convey deep emotion through her voice, which has been described as capable of lulling a hurricane into an awed hush. Originally penned by Leonard Cohen in 1966, Suzanne tells the story of a muse and the complexities of love and longing, set against the backdrop of Montreal's café culture. .
