In my opinion, he is one of the most underrated singers of our or any generation. Just a very gifted musician who does nothing but perform his music. Not much flash, just pure art.

Underrated? Nah man you just discovered him recently. Hence your comment. If you were around in the 80's . You wouldn't be saying your "OVER USED Phrase on the internet" . Underrated? Nah, in your case. Undiscovered till recently.

When I was in my early 20s circa 1980 whenever I heard his instantly backing vocals on any records ( Toto, Christopher Cross, Joni Mitchell etc) I recognised the albums he contributed on as a hallmark of quality and I bought these albums. Of course, his contributions on Steely Dan, Doobie Bros or collaborations with the likes of Patti Labelle or James Ingram and others goes including solo offerings goes without saying
