Shelley, I agree about Jeff Buckley, in that he did an incredible cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. He sang it even better than Cohen did, which is saying a lot. It sent shivers down my spine. It's such a shame that Buckley died so young, because great things would have come out of him, I'm sure!
