Keeping Up the Ghost

摘要

Billboard magazine does not publish a posthumous pop chart, but if it did, Elvis and Tupac would have an everlasting grip on the top slots. Hovering just behind them would be Jeff Buckley. Buckley was not widely known during his life, and his productivity after death, while impressive, does not yet approach that of Presley or Shakur. But careerwise, he does have a few things going for him. In 1995 he was named one of PEOPLE'S 50 Most Beautiful People. Two years later, on a spring day in Memphis, Tenn,, Buckley, 30, put down the guitar on which he was writing songs for his second album, stepped into the Mississippi and drowned.
