Jeff Buckley by Chris Cornell

"Jeff had the ability to sing a capella in almost a wisper in a packed club environment and be able to hear a pin drop - that's not about technical ability, that's something else. (...) I saw shows with a room full of guys wearing flannel shirts, and he would bring a song down to him singing vocal runs a cappella. He would keep doing it to the point that it was beyond discomfort for these guys who were all standing there trying to be tough. You would be uncomfortable for so long that you would then have this rejuvenation and discovery that this guy was fearless. Listening to him sing — it's one of those indications that the human race isn't all bad and life is worth living and there is beauty and brilliance in humanity."
