He did good to make it 70 years old
Sorry but I stand by my comment. While Johhny was (imo) the more talented, more-respected and longer-lived artist, my comment was all about the "popularity" back in the 70's and how Edgar was the "bigger" pop artist. He definitely overshadowed Johnny in the pop culture world. He was a rock star after the release of "It only comes out at Night" - Johnny never got the same recognition. That was my point. And I agree 1000% that popularity often has no relationship to talent...
