I don't care much for his post-1950's/very early 60's output, but he's undoubtedly a legend of British popular music. Pre-Beatles, here in the U.K., he had no real 'homegrown' rivals who could quite match him for popularity and sheer impact. With the terrific Shadows backing him, he was a real force. Despite not caring much or his 60's onwards work, I do admire how he adapted and continued to chart highly throughout the decade. After a real dip, he remerged in the late 70's and has arguably never looked back. It's pleasing to read that Australian folk are enjoying the shows.
