Today, Buckley boasts a cult following. His album, Grace, is considered one of the greatest records in pop history. Rolling Stone recently put him at 39th, one spot below Elton John, in its list of the "100 greatest singers of all time".

Should the unthinkable happen, and a grassroots campaign by Jeff Buckley fans 
  disrupt Simon Cowell's efforts to again secure a Christmas number one, BBC 
  Radio 1 will be forced to deal with a tricky issue of protocol. Normally, 
  the station interviews chart-topping artists before playing their winning 
  song (even when Bob the Builder won, Neil Morrissey stood in). But Buckley 
  would be sadly unavailable for selection.

The supremely gifted singer, whose haunting rendition of Leonard Cohen's 
  "Hallelujah" has reignited public interest in the pop charts, died in a 
  swimming accident on 29 May, 1997. He had completed just one studio album, 
  and was on the verge of major celebrity when his life was cut short.
