Timothy Charles Buckley III (February 14, 1947 – June 29, 1975) was an experimental vocalist and performer who incorporated jazz, psychedelia, funk, soul, and avant-garde rock, in a short career spanning the late 1960s and early 1970s, ending with his death at age 28 from a lethal alcohol-heroin overdose.
Buckley often regarded his tenor voice as an instrument, a talent most noticeable on his albums Happy Sad, Lorca, and Starsailor. His first marriage was to Mary Guibert, with whom he had a child, musician Jeff Buckley. They divorced in 1968 and after this Buckley would meet with his son only once more. Buckley married second wife Judy Brejot Sutcliffe in 1970 and adopted her son, Taylor.
Born in Washington DC, Buckley,an Irish-American, lived for 10 years in Amsterdam, New York, before moving to southern California, initially to Bell Gardens and later settling in Anaheim in 1965. His experiences with music were through his family, artists such as Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland being particular favorites in the household. During his childhood, Buckley was a fan of Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Nat King Cole and Miles Davis, although country music was his foremost passion. Reflecting this, at the age of 11 Buckley learned how to play the banjo, an instrument which his mother had bought to occupy him following a bout of mumps. He attended Loara High School in Anaheim, California, and, amongst others, made friends with Don Gordon, Larry Beckett, Jim Fielder (original member of Blood, Sweat & Tears) and future wife, Mary Guibert.

Tim was just a lot better. if as many people listened to him as Jeff, it would just make me happy that more people were listening to great music. although it would probably get annoying if song to the siren or something was used in every dramatic scene in movies like hallelujah is.

@Inci90 "The father far outshines the son." - I suspect you're saying this because Jeff is more "popular". I'm guessing you have the pretentious belief that artists that are less experimental and less obscure have less worth. Besides, it's unfair to compare Jeff to Tim because Jeff only wrote 1 complete album (Sketches for my Sweetheart the Drunk was unfinished so I don't think that should count) while Tim had nine under his belt before he died.

I realized something pivotal about Tim Buckley. If you read his biography you realize that he was one of the musicians in High School, who no one really knows but emerges to semi-fame. (in his case phostumous fame) There's a Tim Buckley at every high school!

Can anyone tell me where the version of 'Pleasant Street' on last.fm radio is from? It's different from the version on Goodbye and Hello.
