Looks good, be prepared, tho, that Sweet Exorcist isn't quite as good as the first three. That and his other 1974 album Got to Find a Way are okay, then There's No Place Like America Today from 1975 raises the bar again, but that one is pretty much his last truly good album. The ones after that are still worth listening because they usually have one or two great songs, but his peak creative period as a solo artist was those five years from 1970 to 1975.

Two greatest 'wow's ever: Marlon Brando in On the Waterfront, when Rod Steiger pulls the gun on him in the backseat; "If you wanna be a junkie, wow."

To be invisibleWill be my claim to fameA man with no nameThat way, I won't have to feel the painIndispensableJust a plain old human beingToday, don't mean a thingIn a world that's so meanA world that seems not for meSo privately, I'll be invisibleThat way, I won't have to explain a thing, if you know what I meanI won't even have to be here, on the sceneIt's so ridiculousBut the strife and the blissWill go right on through, right on through meTo have missedAll the things that hurt your soulNo one would ever knowThey'd never knowLife so preciouslyJust don't seem to beAs free as they claim freedom to beThings are going fastTo have found that all is in the pastTo have to take what you can getSure can make a heart upsetInconspicuousI must behave myselfFor somebody elseWho may have a little fame, fortune and wealthIt's so ridiculousBut the strife and the blissWill go right on through, right on through meTo have missedA world that seems not for meSo privately, I'll be invisibleThat way, I won't have to explain a thing, if you know what I meanI won't even have to be here, on the sceneIt's so ridiculousBut the strife and the blissWill go right on through, right on through meTo have missedAll the things that hurt your soulNo one would ever knowThey'd never knowLife so preciouslyJust don't seem to meAs free as they claim freedom to beThings are going fastTo have found that all is in the pastTo have to take what you can getSure can make a heart upsetSo I'll be invisibleInvisibleInvisible

The man had a highly rare sense of grace that was definitely captured in his music.
