who was a case of you written about
A Case of You Mitchell wrote "A Case of You" in or before 1970. As with many of the songs on her album Blue, her break up with Graham Nash is often cited as the inspiration for the song.[1] It is also claimed that it is "a song about Leonard Cohen". She performed the song at the Amchitka Greenpeace benefit concert in October 1970. She recorded the song in 1971, and it was released on the 1971 album Blue with Mitchell playing Appalachian dulcimer, accompanied by James Taylor on acoustic guitar.
