Amazing Grace: Jeff Buckley is an hour-long documentary film that celebrates the legacy of the late musician Jeff Buckley with specific attention given to fans he inspired.
 The film was officially sanctioned by Jeff's mother and estate.
 It is not a biography, but a tribute.
"Mojo Pin" is the first song on Jeff Buckley's 1994 album "Grace".
 It was written by Jeff Buckley and Gary Lucas, and was first introduced on his EP, "Live at Sin-é".
 Buckley stated that the song was about a dream of a black woman.
 Through a wash of bizarre images, the lyrics convey a feeling of addiction, either to drugs or a person.
 In Jeff's words, "Sometimes if somebody you feel you need... the whole universe tells you that you have to have her, you start watching her favorite TV shows all night, you start buying her the things she needs, you start drinking her drinks, you start smoking her bad cigarettes, you start picking up her nuances in her voice, you sleep in safe sometimes the most dangerous thing... this is called Mojo Pin."

Live À L'Olympia is a live album by Jeff Buckley, released in 2001 (see 2001 in music).
 It is the second posthumous live album released since his death in 1997.
 The CD consists of performances taken from two separate concerts Buckley and his band played on July 6/7 1995 at Paris Olympia.
 The French crowd were very receptive as he was well regarded there, as shown when he was awarded France's prestigious "Grand Prix International Du Disque" earlier that year.
 Buckley paused midway in some of the songs to address the crowd and "Hallelujah" features ad-libbed lyrics in response to their enthusiasm.
 The album also features a version of a song from Nina Simone's repertoire, "That's All I Ask".
 It is one of two versions of the song officially released, the other appearing on a three-track bonus disc issued with Australian copies of Buckley's Mystery White Boy live album.
 Buckley played the song at various concerts on his 1995 European tour.

Jeffrey Scott "Jeff" Buckley (November 17, 1966 – May 29, 1997), raised as Scott Moorhead, was an American singer-songwriter and guitarist.
 After a decade as a session guitarist in Los Angeles, Buckley amassed a following in the early 1990s by playing cover songs at venues in Manhattan's East Village, such as Sin-é, gradually focusing more on his own material.
 After rebuffing much interest from record labels and his father Tim Buckley's manager Herb Cohen, he signed with Columbia, recruited a band, and recorded what would be his only studio album, "Grace", in 1994.
 In 2004, "Rolling Stone Magazine" listed him at number 39 on their list of greatest singers of all time.
.
 In the December 2013 Mojo, Grace was named the 12th best album of the magazine's 20-year lifetime.

 After Buckley's death Kindred continued to work with the other band members on other projects in New York City.
 Kindred, with Michael Tighe and Buckley's then-girlfriend, Joan Wasser, formed Black Beetle.
