If you’ve never heard it, his duet of the song Common People is pretty awesome:

He did an interesting cover[1] of Elton John's Rocket Man[2] back in 78.

That cover was later remixed into this[3] piece of internet gold (IMHO).

Agreed, it fits well within his range and it's IMHO a really great cover of Common People.

I also really enjoy _That's Me Trying_: https://youtu.be/vjGaqFrF5Fw?si=eq_VSQXnxqXQ_Kyg

and _Real_: https://youtu.be/hsKfZ3wvLkE?si=l7FdbGCX_u8ep0Ie

I have to say, the brass arrangement is pretty good - would have loved to be there when they recorded that staccato part.

I honestly thought his voice fit better for the theme of the song than the original
