Jeff Buckley

Jeffrey Scott Buckley (November 17, 1966 – May 29, 1997), raised as Scotty Moorhead, was an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. He was the son of Tim Buckley, also a musician. Buckley gained popularity in the early 1990s by playing cover versions at venues in Manhattan’s East Village, such as Sin-é, and he gradually focused more on his own material. After much interest from record labels he signed with Columbia and, after recruiting a band, recorded his debut studio album, Grace. Buckley’s first #1 came posthumously in March 2008 when “Hallelujah” topped Billboard’s Hot Digital Songs following a performance of the song on American Idol. Buckley and his work continue to remain popular and regularly featured in ‘greatest’ lists in the music press.
