He may not have been a chancellor or a king, but he was a VERY popular singer as noted by all the people who knew of him and cared for his music. I bet he was far more popular in a good way than many of the politicians we hear of daily morning noon and night.
I was a fan a long time ago when I was single but life and career got a hold of me and DH and kids and got lost in the translation. However, lately I had been listening to the radio more as I quilt and piece and I started hearing more of his music. Pretty good stuff.
