Lots of words sung in a high pitched voice.But extremely musical.Evidence of
a major songwriter.He was criticized for his "whine" but I find it
wonderful.It was a very cool pop band with great tunes.I have it all but I
lean towards his solo Capital albums especially the one Todd Rundgren
produced.To see him live was something.Very entertaining guy.
