His voice is a power combination and vocal flexibility, so much so that the first part of his career, from 1964 to 1969, is a continuous alternation of blues songs and melodic. Some of these songs, such as Do not think about me, Noah's Ark and especially Gypsy have become, over the years, real evergreen
