I didn't say he was overrated. Just that he wasn't the greatest. He's a great pop song writer. Like, say, Barry Manilow. I just happen find the best music has a lot more depth and intelligence behind it.

And selling out "gigs" is absolutely no indicator of quality. None whatsoever!

Very true, Ellington and Strayhorn are hard to beat.
