Jeff Buckley Jeffrey Scott "Jeff" Buckley (November 17, 1966 – May 29, 1997), raised as Scott Moorhead, was an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. After a decade as a session guitarist in Los Angeles, Buckley amassed a following in the early 1990s by playing cover songs at venues in Manhattan's East Village, such as Sin-é, gradually focusing more on his own material. After rebuffing much interest from record labels and his father Tim Buckley's manager Herb Cohen, he signed with Columbia, recruited a band, and recorded what would be his only studio album, "Grace", in 1994. In 2004, "Rolling Stone Magazine" listed him at number 39 on their list of greatest singers of all time.. In the December 2013 Mojo, Grace was named the 12th best album of the magazine's 20-year lifetime.
