Saw him last in Milwaukee maybe 5 years ago. Top 5 American singer/songwriter of my generation. Angel from Montgomery and Sam Stone are probably his most “famous” songs (and they are amazing) but like you I think Hello in There stands above all others - an honest to God masterpiece. A great talent, and from everting I ever heard or read, a great guy, too. RIP

Hello in There and These Days by Jackson Browne (written when he was 16) are the gold standard for singer/songwriters.

RIP.  Had cancer twice and part of his lung removed. 

Excellent interview with him by NPR in 2018 on his life.  He was a Cubs and Sox fan having grown up on Madison Ave.
