My late Mum loved Stephan, and when he appeared locally ( in the late 1970s I think) my Dad didn’t want to go with her to the gig. She then asked me and I agreed but thought it may be a bit boring. Couldn’t believe how wrong I could be, was an amazing evening and my mum was telling everyone about it for weeks afterwards. This clip has brought back some very happy memories, so thanks for posting.

He did seem to go through a period when his voice sounded like it was shot, but then appeared to improve again. Didn’t he have some throat surgery or something? In my view his early work was when his voice sounded at it’s best (as is the case with most singers to be fair) but at 75 years of age he still can cut it. I think we believe singers should be able to maintain the same standard they achieved 40 or 50 years later, which is totally unrealistic really. Unless you’re Tom Jones of course.....😉

I actually think he is / was pretty good. Unusual voice and great phrasing, reminiscent of his heroes like Sam Cooke and Otis. Sure, his pitching has always been a bit hit and miss, and his American Songbook phase was (to me anyway) pretty dire, but will always remain one of my favourite singers.
