While it almost goes without saying that you can't really go wrong with whichever era you choose, I always seem to go back to the songs from 1970-76. Six of my personal Top Ten are from this period. Although when I think about it, that's only 60%. It just shows how much there is to choose from.
I generally listen to the very early songs the least, but whenever I do, I am always amazed at the power and clarity of his voice.
And having had the great privilege to talk with him in the past few years, I too am thrilled with what a gracious person he is. "Nice" is good.
