Comment: Multiple issues here. Sources must be improved to prove notability and also used to back up statements in the text. I'd suggest referring to WP:V and adding inline citations (WP:CITE). As noted by the previous reviewer, you have serious issues on neutrality (WP:NPOV). I'd suggest paring out the value-laden statements, such as: 'earned his recognition as a solid, talented, multifaceted performing and recording artist'. And the last unsourced paragraph also has to go unless you can back it up! Also, can we have fewer lists, or lists better presented to make this an interesting read. You can get help here from the Teahouse, and do also check out other existing Wikipedia pages on music artists to see how to improve the article and make it work as an encyclopaedic entry.
