 82 top 40 hits in all, including 55 top 10s and 29 number ones. Yet for him, the joy comes not from just having a hit record, but in the making of the music and touching people. I like this idea of being able to sort of bring joy in some way. It sounds a little bit smarmy, but it's really true. I really like it when somebody says, you know, I was really feeling down, but I listened to your song.
