wow! i love that song. i didn’t know that he was dead. it is always sad to me when amazing artists that live durring my life time pass away before i get to experience their art.
For me there are a few times when a singer so perfectly melds with a song that you can’t imagine it sung by anyone else. And if someone else sings it you only find yourself wanting to hear them sing it. Billy Joel: Piano Man, Elton John:Your Song, Billy Holliday: Strange Fruit, Dylan: Like a Rolling Stone, Lennon:Imagine, McCartney: Blackbird, Garland: Over the Rainbow,
Jeff Buckley: Hallelujah
Its like they hypmotize you.
