...tragically passed away 15 years ago yesterday. In honor of his music, here's his world famous cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" that people from Rufus Wainright to douches on American Idol have unsuccessfully tried to copy ever since (Wainright's version is okay, and an homage to Buckley, but not anywhere close to as good as Buckley's, imo):
