SECOND GLANCE: Jeff Buckley

Jeff Buckley often stunned audiences even before opening his mouth. The physical resemblance to his father was enough. He won over many of his father’s fans, making perhaps his biggest statement at a Tim Buckley tribute concert. It was his first time singing in front of an audience. He killed. “Once I Was,” was the last song he performed. This moment is actually the basis of one of the three Jeff Buckley biopics in development. Yes, three. This one will star Penn Badgley. Who’s starring in the other two? Reeve Carney and Robert Pattinson. If you think Jeff Buckley is big now, just wait until Gossip Boy, the new Spiderman and Edward Cullen play him.

“Night Flight” from the cutting room floor

Grace has got some stellar outtakes. Buckley was a total Led Zeppelin fan. This version of “Night Flight” didn’t make the album.
