I found a link today, and it pointed to John Miles - who's no longer with us. When I was first starting out his touring show was one of the first I worked on, and I wished I'd worked on more in my later years when I knew much more. Nobody ever had a bad thing to say about him and despite playing with loads of big names, he just did his thing. Piano, guitar and of course vocals. I remember a friend mentioning him once as the sound mans friend because he knew when he was going to belt, and with a flick of the head, prevented the red lights on the desk, or a compressor kicking in savagely. This video link shows him off pretty well. and he was going strong into his 70s. I think this is probably the best version of Stairway to Heaven I've heard.
