My mother was a big fan, when i was growing up, I met him a few times too
It was only as I got into my late 40s, that I realised what a good voice he had, with a few on my spotify account
He also sang in German & Italian, & was quite a prolific songwriter

I saw him a few times as a kid, with my parents, & recall even at the age of 13 (or so) being impressed by the power of that voice
