Certainly he's not the only one who was making that kind of music at the time but you can't deny that he introduced it to the wider world.

I'd agree with his impact and influence but I'm not sure if he'd have made any great contribution in later years. He'd have more likely been the same kind of figurehead that he is now, only a living rather than dead one.
