Leonard Cohen wins first Grammy after death

Legendary songwriter Leonard Cohen won his first Grammy posthumously on Sunday for "You Want It Darker," the meditative title song off his final album that presaged his death. Cohen, while a major figure in pop culture and literature, had few hits in the traditional sense and throughout his life was shut out of the Grammys, the premier gala of the US-based music industry. The Canadian poet and singer won for Best Rock Performance for "You Want It Darker" in a field that included another late artist, Chris Cornell.
