John Davies Cale (born March 9, 1942) is a Welsh musician, composer, singer-songwriter and record producer.
Though best known for his work with the legendary Velvet Underground, John Cale has produced a massive body of work that ranges from tastefully arranged strings and piano over Dylan Thomas poetry to barely-suppressed, nigh-psychotic aggression set to high-energy avantgarde rock. Cale’s style is impossible to pin down, as almost every album contains new experiments and influences. He also is well known as the producer of such seminal works as the debuts of The Stooges, The Modern Lovers, Patti Smith’s “Horses”, and Nico’s “The Marble Index.”

...or maybe I should word it as 'established the definite version' instead of 're-wrote', but anyway, Cale deserves a lot of credit for the best known (and arguably best) version of the song.

@faulknerXXrocks : Why? It's probably the best "cover" ever, if it can be called that, since he practically re-wrote the entire song and made it much better (even though it's Jeff Buckley that eventually made the Cale version of Cohen's song famous)... even Cohen incorporated his verses into his own live versions.

The Avalanches sampled "Ghost Story" for their album "Since I Left You".....I had no idea but I got so excited when I was listening to Vintage Violence for the first time and realized that the electronic "beeping" at the end of the song sounded very familiar....mostly because "Since I left You" is one of my favorite albums of all time

I am having trouble tracking down some of Johns less-popular albums, like "Comes Alive" "5 Tracks" "Artificial Intelligence" and the album "Last Day on Earth" with Bob Neuwirth. If anyone has these albums and is willing to share, please let me know!
