In the early 90s, Temple of the Dog moved us all with their passionate version of the song Hunger Strike. It featured a then emerging Soundgarden vocalist Chris Cornell and the newly named singer Eddie Vedder for the soon-to-be-huge Pearl Jam. Now, on the 30th anniversary of the song s initial release, Cornell s daughter Toni Cornell has posted her heartfelt cover along with a moving passage about her late father. Hunger Strike was released 30 years ago today. It’s not only one of the most iconic songs of all time but one of my personal favorites, says Toni.

Toni Cornell has remembered her late dad Chris with a touching tribute and resurfaced her cover of his Temple of the Dog song, "Hunger Strike," a recording she made for a good cause.
