Cohen was certified gold by the RIAA in May 2000. Over the
course of his career, Leonard Cohen has sold more than 11
million albums worldwide.
Cohen
has published 11 books, including two novels (1963's The Favorite
Game and 1966's Beautiful Losers). His songs have been covered
throughout the world and have influenced generations of songwriters.
Cohen's music has earned the accolades of other artists in

Republic, South Africa and the United States; among these
