My favorites were:
If you could read my mind
Sundown
The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
Carefree Highway
Early Morning Rain
For Loving Me
To name a few….

Wow… that is one I never got the pleasure of seeing live. I have been to a whole bunch of shows and met a lot of musicians and performers in my life but not him . He was one of the greats that I am sad I missed .
I hope the Lord blesses his family and helps them over the pain during such a trying time in life
