Somewhere at the height of his career, I believe he performed at some benefit concert that was broadcast on PBS. Being the only station I was allowed to watch at the time, and living in a rural community of about 2000 with very little pop culture, it was essentially the only exposure I had to him during his height of popularity.

At the time I remember thinking, "Who is this guy? I guess his song is kinda catchy." I don't remember which one it was.

I am sure I was in the minority.
