A one hit wonder in the states, but a superstar in Europe, with 19 top 40 singles, including 2 number 1's, and 17 top 40 albums in the UK. A charismatic singer with a strong voice, over-looked on this site. 'Rock On' is his US hit, but there are many singles from him equally as good, the overly sentimental 'If I Could' being one of my favourites.

Hasn't made a decent record for decades, but "Rock On" is an all-time classic, one of the greatest singles ever made!

One of the forgotten stars. Don’t know why this is the case. I think he was great. Saw him once as Che Guevara on stage. He could act as well. I think his Rolling Stone is nearly as good as Dylan’s. He was a Singles guy, but should get more respect here.
