Of hallelujah, HAS to include the vocals of the late Jeff Buckley. Angelic. Gone way too soon, RIP Jeff. Hope you have a huge choir of angels backing you up at your shows. You have a lot of guitarist there to accompany you.
This one you have posted sprinklinnow is also sweet. Check out the version of Jeff on Spotify or Apple with just Jeff and a guitar accompaniment. His voice is magical.

This was offered earlier on the syndicated American Public Media program carried by our local university station.

The piano duo performance was at the University of Georgia, Athens.

His voice and interpretation got me emotional.

Read about his untimely death. We just never know....

“Music Box” about his life and the vocal genius from him. Bowie and Freddie Mercury and other greats said his first album, Grace 1994, was the greatest piece of work they ever heard. Before I saw the Doc last week, I never knew much of his work. When this post of Hallelujah came up, I felt his version would be nice to share.
God he had a range.
