American musician Christopher John Cornell is most recognized for being the main lyricist, rhythm guitarist, and lead vocalist for the rock groups Audioslave and Soundgarden. In addition, he had a solo career and worked on several soundtracks for films. Cornell founded Temple of the Dog, a one-off tribute band honoring his late buddy, musician Andrew Wood, and served as its frontman. According to a number of music writers, fan surveys, and other musicians, Cornell is among the best rock vocalists of all time.
With a long history of songwriting, a vocal range of almost four octaves, and a strong vocal belting technique, Cornell is regarded as a pivotal figure in the grunge movement of the 1990s. In addition to the live album “Songbook” (2011) and two compilations, “The Roads We Choose” (2007) and “Chris Cornell” (2018), the latter of which was published posthumously, Cornell recorded four solo studio albums: “Euphoria Morning” (1999), “Carry On” (2007), “Scream” (2009), and “Higher Truth” (2015). He co-wrote and sang “You Know My Name,” the theme song for the 2006 James Bond movie Casino Royale, and was nominated for a Golden Globe for his song “The Keeper,” which was included in the 2011 movie Machine Gun Preacher. The charity song “The Promise” for the movie of the same name was his final solo release prior to his passing.
