[@Jahspecs1]

There are 3 criteria to an everlasting classic: lyrics, melody, instrumental music. The stronger these are the more appealing and long lasting is the song. Few artist (regardless of genre or generation) can hit that sweet spot. Koffee is one such artist. If you can hum a tune it is with you forever. If you can play just the instrumental alone and you sway then it is good music. If you can read the lyrics and it moves you then the artist is reaching you. Very very very few can do all three over and over and over.
