100%, before his voice sorta changed towards 2000 (around the “England’s Rose” version of Candle in the Wind (no shade, everybody’s voice changes a bit when you compare recordings 10-20 years apart)), I could listen to him 24/7. Definitely one of my top three singers from the 70s

Sort of. He lost his head voice after a surgery to remove polyps in around 1986 (see the Australia live album) After which (around this video) he studied with a vocal coach who taught him to embrace his lower baritone range which was more sustainable for the long term health of his voice. He can still do it, just chooses not to. Every so often though, he goes there.
