Despite his faults, Willie is a brilliant songwriter whose material has been covered by singers of various styles. Patsy Cline and BB King come to mind among others. The man does seem to enjoy what he's doing and I can't fault that. Touch Me was his first solo charting song reaching #7 in 1962. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWelKor5ZUM
I understand Sinatra covered Nightlife but I haven't found a link to that recording.
Thanks, LSP
