I'm a big fan. I read once that he had played guitar on 50 or more #1 songs from the Supremes to The Beach Boys. His own albums were really good to not as good, like anyone who's had a long career, and among his many accomplishments , I consider his Christmas album to be one of the greatest. He leaves us a great catalog of music.
A fan since I was 11 years old ... that's 50 years. 'Galveston' was the first 45 single that I purchased (Woolworths in Manhattan) and 'Wichita Lineman' was the first album that I purchased (EJ Korvettes in Brooklyn).
His voice always did it for me. He will be missed.
