Gary Jules is one of the most gifted songwriting talents to surface during the 90’s. He is most known for his cover of the Tears for Fears tune Mad World which was featured in the movie Donnie Darko. VH1 has called Jules “The best American singer-songwriter to emerge out of the late ’90’s — and the only one worthy of being mentioned in the same sentence with Paul Simon, James Taylor, Cat Stevens and Nick Drake.”
