Perhaps no one will care about this artist, but I became a fan of Tim Buckley when he came on the scene in the Sixties. He has a sad story, too, from the same substance that destroys the couple in "Candy":
Timothy Charles Buckley III (February 14, 1947 – June 29, 1975) was an experimental vocalist and musician who incorporated jazz, psychedelia, funk, soul, and avant-garde rock in a career spanning the late 1960s and early 1970s. Buckley often regarded his voice as an instrument, a talent principally showcased on his albums Goodbye and Hello, Lorca, and Starsailor. His first marriage was to Mary Guibert, with whom he had a child, musician Jeff Buckley. They divorced in 1968 and after this Buckley would meet with his son only once more. Buckley married second wife Judy Brejot Sutcliffe in 1970 and adopted her son, Taylor.

Buckley's career began with his 1966 debut "Tim Buckley", its mix of pop and folk rock drawing on popular influences of the time. His popularity peaked with second album "Goodbye and Hello", a more mature record with avant-garde influences and political sentiments. In the three years that followed, Buckley was at his most prolific and experimental, producing four albums of varying styles. "Happy Sad and Blue Afternoon" showed Buckley's folk roots, while "Lorca" veered to more avant-garde styles. The final album of this period, "Starsailor", is a mix of jazz, funk and avant-garde styles, representing his continual evolution in genre. This period, while garnering some critical success, proved disastrous for his record sales as the disparity of his styles caused his fanbase to all but disappear.

Following this Buckley changed genres again, with 1972 release "Greetings from L.A.", which incorporated the funk, R&B and soul sounds of the early 1970s in to his music. However, this release and the following album "Sefronia" did not match up to the success of his previous work. In 1974, having alienated much of his fanbase and squandered money made at his peak, Buckley released "Look at the Fool", which was neither well received by the public nor the majority of critics. By this point Buckley had grown disillusioned with the music industry and his drug abuse of the past seven years had affected him.

In spite of this, in early 1975, desperate for musical recognition and an escape from poverty and obscurity, Buckley dropped his drug dependencies and engaged the musical press regarding a live album comeback. Buckley began performing material drawn from his whole career as a response to the desires of his audience, desires he had always spurned in the past. However, Buckley relapsed and on June 28, 1975, he overdosed on heroin. His wife Judy, having earlier put him in bed, was unable to rouse him and paramedics pronounced him dead on arrival. He was 28 years old and was survived by his wife and adopted son Taylor, and his biological son, Jeff.

Please note that his son is Jeff Buckley, who became a famous singer/songwriter, too. Some of his work reminds me so much of his father.
