    He has managed to acquire this sort of legendary cheesy status but the fact is that Rick has a phenomenal voice. His tone is rich with tremendous depth and soul. I’m a fan and I think he just gets better as he gets older. I think he’s certainly more relaxed and confident than he was when he actually came on to the music scene.

    • @Synthetic-Rabbit
      @Synthetic-Rabbit Před 3 lety +4

      I feel as if he has a lot of fun doing this type of stuff and it shows when he does performances. I believe the long break he took after he made a proverbial boat load of money really helped his disposition at this time in his life.

    • @lewismckenzie236
      @lewismckenzie236 Před 3 lety

      He was just 21 when he broke so it's easy to see why. He's always had a great voice though. If he wasn't a pop singer he'd be able to show it a lot more.

    @guitarfrozenintime Před 4 lety +59

    George Ezra of the 80s. Imagine 30 years from now, we will remember George as the kid with the deep voice. Just like how our parents remembered Rick.
