What can we say about dear ol’ Reg? After all, the guy’s talents have earned him a knighthood. Billboard magazine ranks him as the most successful male solo artist ever.

If you’ve never heard his music then, well... who are we kidding? Everybody has heard him. His voice has changed over the years, but his piano playing has remained rollicking, rocking and resounding.

He helped to solidify the piano’s place in rock and roll just as synthesizers were making their presence known. He’s sold 250 million records over the course of 40 years, as well as racking up six Grammys, an Oscar, a Golden Globe and a Tony Award.
