Widely regarded as one of the most innovative and significant figures in the history of popular music, his work was distinguished for its high production values and complex harmonies, orchestrations, and vocal arrangements. His lyrics were often ingenuous or introspective; vocally, he was known for his versatile head voice and falsetto.
