My Take
Bobby Goldsboro is, for me, the sound of a certain American sentimentality done well. His signature hit "Honey" sold over a million copies and topped the charts, yet what strikes me is his range: a singer-songwriter from small-town Florida who also played guitar, painted, and hosted his own television show. I respect performers who write the words that make people cry rather than just singing someone else's. He belongs to a generation that bet on memorable melody over spectacle, and that bet aged well. I tend to keep artists like him on a quiet shelf of personal regard, dependable craftsmen rather than flashy stars.
