Referring to TIm as a "folk singer" leaves out most of his singing/songwriting career. He evolved through several stages of avant garde, jazz, and funk. He was good at them all.

Well, back then, that's how the business worked. Now, they solely survive on performances, since music is sadly given away for free...

I don’t go by his example. He left even before I was born. His only influence, is the one of his absence. I was the man of the house, I never missed him. I only met him once, a little while before his death, and then I knew that I missed him. It would have been nice to grow up with a real father and mother that got along swell. But I’ve survived. - Jeff Buckley ♥ ♥ ♥

Saw Tim Buckley in 1969 at the Troubadour in West Los Angeles. I’m sure his son had a great voice,but the very first moment I heard Tim Buckley sing I heard the voice of an angel! I was so moved! May both RIP

Jeff Buckley is how I would expect an angel to look and sound.

I mean, I feel that it’s the best for me. It just gets into the bloodstream so quickly, for no reason at all. You can close your heart, and you can sleep even with your eyes closed, but you can never close your ears."...he breathed through his music...and thanks to it ,we can enjoy the beauty of it...is not it?

The difference between listening to Buckley and Simon was that Simon's songs went somewhwre, he was not on an ego trip to hear how many octaves he could sing. The same with Jeff, they father and son were virtuosos, but in rock music, it's not just a matter of virtuosity.

The last words of Mary (Jeff’s mother) in this video are so heartbreakingly beautiful. No wonder why Jeff was so wise for his young age… 💖

Kinda like JFK & JFK Jr. or Bruce & Brandon Lee with the dying young thing. Very sad. It's extra sad that Jeff died young being that he wasn't even abusing drugs or making babies he had abandoned. Seemed like a decent person all around. R.I.P. to both.

I think they were both equally beautiful artists. There is something to be said about some singers, that ability to sing has to be in the DNA. You can hone in on the talent and sharpen the skill but there is something inherit.

Jeffs mother was/is beautiful, also she was 🎶 musical, but always says he developed himself, in his own way.Beautiful. It was an awful loss for her to suffer.God Bless her.

The tragedy that is the Buckleys ....too beautiful to live....

They both are amazing and blow my mind. For me Jeff is the best singer I've ever heard and my favourite artist, but his father is right there with him. Incredible talents gone way too soon 💔

This definitely opens up a plethora of biases and opinions on who was better: Tim or Jeff? But I don't think it has to be a choosing game: just appreciate the gift of music that they both gave us! :)

Beautiful. You live on in my heartJB. Two beautiful Angels.

I almost cried when I found out Jeff wasn't alive:(.............

They asked Jeff to come play, Jeff never asked them. As a matter of fact Jeff had to get back to them think a little on it.

tragic tragic tragic...I didn't know about this story of Tim Buckley and his son. that poor woman what she's been through nobody can imagine... RIP Tim and Jeff now sailing on the water with the sirens and dolphins....

they are just like a mozart or van gogh. their art got its rightful appreciation once they'd passed.

This documentary keeps repeating how Jeff was so much better then his father and its very annoying. To say one is better then the other is like a two year old saying "My Daddy is better then your Daddy". Rather childish to say the least. Both were talented from their respective styles of music and the times they lived in. Opinions are like assholes...everyone has one... and this documentary illustrates this in spades.

Perhaps his son might have headed in an experimental direction had he lived longer, but I'm not too big on Jeff's music personally. And i'm only 22, so don't call me old. lol

Perhaps they will gain and have gained in some very banal passing monetary riches.

Tim Buckley was never a famous person in his time, he was just one of many musicians....

Sometimes I definitely love Google/KZread and their tips: I'm​ just watching​ Tim Buckley's "Sweet Surrender" nonstop. Then this popped up in my recommendations​ list. What a tragic story! I can't believe it... (...) :(

tim was great but jeff was tremendous

First of all, Tim released nine studio albums...not seven. And I don't think that Jeff's mom knows what "inherited" means.

Everybody knew Tim Buckley in Australia. Greetings from LA was a great album. But it was the same with Rodriguez and J J Cale, a big hit in Australia, never heard of in the US.

I agree. Something about it feels very distant and engaged. And also, they mentioned Jeff's "second album" as if it was a polished, finished product as opposed to a skeleton of a release that was never completed due to Jeff's death.

unforgettable

Its sad to think how Jeff Buckley passed away less than a month before I was born. I wish he were still with us. I miss Jeff Buckley, man. He has the voice of an angel

Voces maravillosas!♥

when I was 19, I had a roommate, Barbara Brascher-Olsen whom I had attended junior at Black and Waltrip Sr in Houston, I stayed with her even though I had an apt in Pasadena myself with three male roommates, one a journalist photographer so I had his bedroom of 3 bedrooms) for a couple of months because she was afraid to live alone in her apt in Pasadena, Tx. RIP, She moved on out of state going on to Law College then marrying the Solicitor General Ted Olsen for the USA as of 2011, and was the MSNBC I think spitfire daily commentator who had just put out a book on the Clinton's a week before 9/11/2001, she was killed when her plane crashed into the Pentagon. Anyhoo, Tim's music reached as far as Houston and Pasadena Texas, my roommates had a reel to reel with the Greetings from L.A. and me and Barbie would sing and dance to it all the time and play it at her apartment, in our cars, we loved his musc! He was our Muse and is still mine to this day. I'm a singer-songwriter​-musician, guitar, electric and accoustic,12&6 string, blues Hohners too. I live Jeff's music too and do that too. People are amazed by these songs!

So many amazing beings have passed.there must be a gathering of them all somewhere in the ethos.makes you look forward to following them

@KateCanFly777 Well, he never drove taxi/limo, although he claimed to. His friends revealed that it was just a joke. He wasn't found at the foot of his stairs, either. He was at a friends and got too high, so they took him home and his wife put him to bed. It wasn't all wrong, they just didn't appear to do their research. And beyond that, the presentation of the whole thing is unbelievably cheesy. Both men would shudder if they ever had to see this.

Jeff never inherited anything.He was completely self made❤

I'm sorry, but do the people involved in the making of this film think the general consensus is that Jeff is better than his father? That is certainly not the case. Tim had a voice to die for. One of the most innovative singer-songwriters of all time.

It is Jeff in that one. You can see that is a pic of Mary when she's older, not when she was with Tim. The editor made that part sort of confusing.

A vida é tão ingrata.

i'd have to say, if you read most of Jeffs lyrics, he does not seem like he'd fallen down a spiraling path of drugs. he seemed very humble. that's only my opinion though.

jeff had the better singing tone :)

They had to tour b/c they were both in debt. After the tour they owed more than before. All the biographies about these guys are written by the industry.

While I do like John Cales rendition of hallelujah, I do not see any influence of Cale on Jeff's cover especially since the songs are both performed differently and even use different instruments, Leonard and Jeff's version of the songs are both performed relatively the same, they start off soft and slow in the beginning then climax at around the end, middle, and chorus always returning to soft and slow at each verse. John Cale doesn't really do this, I'd say that John Cale actually laid down the foundations and structure of how most people will cover the song today, more of a bright and hopeful ballad rather then one that is emotional and painful and somewhat hopeful. This is why I consider Jeff Buckley to be the best Buckley and one of the best artists of all time.
