The 67-year-old music veteran said he feels accomplished having bagged four classics, claiming that he has more classics than the late American pop star, Michael Jackson.

“The only thing you can show for showbiz at the end is how many evergreens you have produced. To my credit, I have four evergreens. Even Michael Jackson has just two; Of The World and Thriller.

“So, if I have four, I am accomplished,” he expressed.

Sir Shina Peters, however, expressed dissatisfaction over the current state of the Nigerian music industry.

He lamented that most of the standards he and his contemporaries worked hard to set have been “bastardised” by the present crops of artists.
