Jeff Buckley has been dead for 11 years and this week his recording of the Leonard Cohen song "Hallelujah" was the number one song in iTunes. Why, you ask? Well, last Tuesday the Tony Tambe look-alike kid (when Tony was thinner and if he had Dreads) sang it on American Idol. Simon Cowell said his favorite version was the Jeff Buckley version from his first and only album Grace back in 1994. Just like that Jeff has the number 1 downloaded song on the second biggest music store in the U.S.. Note to self - Get Simon Cowell to like one of my songs and say it on American Idol.Sunday, March 9, 2008
