Profile
American singer songwriter, active from the 2nd half of the 1960s until his death aged 28. Father of Jeff Buckley who also died young. Born: 14 February 1947, Washington, D.C., USA. Died: 29 June 1975. Santa Monica. CA. USA.
Buckley started out as a folk singer but quickly stood out for his extraordinary voice and compositions. He further built his reputation with forays into experimental music and improvisation, which can be heard on the albums Happy Sad, Lorca and Starsailor. Those albums never brought him commercial success, and in the third phase of his career Buckley went for a more commercial sound - again with little success at the time.
Buckley died as the result of a lethal cocktail of celebratory binge-drinking and a heroin overdose at the age of 28, the day after completing the last show of a USA tour in Dallas, Texas.

Timothy Charles Buckley III (February 14, 1947 – June 29, 1975) was an American musician. He began his career based in folk rock, but subsequently experimented with genres such as psychedelia, jazz, the avant-garde, and funk paired with his unique five-octave vocal range. His commercial peak came with the 1969 album Happy Sad, reaching No. 81 on the charts, while his experimental 1970 album Starsailor went on to become a cult classic. The latter contained his best known song, "Song to the Siren." Buckley died at the age of 28 from a heroin and morphine overdose, leaving behind one biological son, Jeff, and one adopted son, Taylor.
