Once called “The premier voice of the 20 th century” by the London Times, the multiple Grammy nominee with the ultra-smooth three and one half octave range and natural charisma has sold over 150 million records worldwide, including 64 gold and 24 platinum albums. It was a little over 40 years ago that he first hit the charts with his smash hit “Release Me (And Let Me Love Again).” The song went to # 1 in eleven countries and it was so big in the United Kingdom that it managed to prevent The Beatles’ two-sided hit “Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever” from reaching the top of the charts. The next decade brought such hits as “After the Lovin’,” “Winter World Of Love,” “Am I That Easy To Forget,” “The Last Waltz,” “There Goes My Everything,” “Les Bicyclettes De Belsize,” “This Moment In Time,” “‘Til You And Your Lover Are Lovers Again” and “A Man Without Love.” He has now recorded 80 albums including many multi-language versions. He has never limited himself to just one genre having recorded everything from movie themes to disco, rock and even gospel.
