Did that Irish red headed 13 yr old boy who with a gal named Allie that did the duet together and sung

Hallelujah ever put out a CD ?

 

Jeff Buckley, think his name was. Kid had a talent that was never gonna be beat.  YouTube has the video.

She was great, too, but, that boy had a gift from above.

She played the guitar while they both took turns singing.

I know I'm not directly answering your question, but the young man's name is Fionn.   I've seen videos where he's tagged as Jeff Buckley, but that's incorrect.   I've seen the video you mean on you tube but can't find anything about a cd.  

 

Jeff Buckley was a rock singer who did a fantastic version of Hallelujah in the 90s.  Unfortunately he drowned and passed away in 1997.

The boy is not named.  The female singer is named Allie Sherlock and the boy is simply referred to as a "young Ed Sheeran".  Jeff Buckley is the name of the artist who had the biggest hit with his version of the song which he recorded in 1994.  He died in a drowning accident in 1997.

Yes, it's confusing. The Irish young kid with the unforgetable voice name was Fionn then I thought I had got it wrong. Jeff Buckley wasn't as good as a singer as the boy was.  If they're one and the same he had lost his 'edge'.

 

Then, I saw in the comments something about him being dead !!   I figured he must had took a wrong turn

and got into drugs.   Drowning ? I never read that.

 

Gees, what a shame ! That voice lost forever !!

I'm glad I got it saved to my MacBookAir.

@SharkE.  5he trouble with fantastic boy singers is that in adolescence,  their voices completely change and they lose the quality that made them so enchanting and they disappear.

Simon Cowell should had snapped up that kid and put him under contract. I'd get in line. LOL

Wait, the red headed boy's name is Fionn.  He's not dead.  

Jeff Buckley is the one who died.  The only connection is that Jeff did a cover of the song that was very popular in the 90s.
