Certain artists whom I had little interest in earlier in their careers I highly respect later on because of my respect for their longevity. I'm a big Stones fan now because they stuck around long enough to get through even to me.He is one of the luckiest singers alive--doesn't sound much different in his 60s than in his 20s. George Michael's new one is much the same. They missed that loss of vocal range that so many men go through as they age. Beautiful.
