the answer is : very succesful!
Why?
Because, he strikes enormous on very differnt continents all over Europe and beyond.
In the past that artists like Dusty, Cliff or Cilla performed his songs other artists in Europe also would picket up his catalogue.
Not that is was a mistake in the past but his outstanding way of writing songs were at that time (and still) unique.
But there is a difference of the lyrics then.
He never would had have a brilliant co-writer in the persons of Hal, Carole or Tonio K.
But then again he also worked with Elvis Costello in the past en even that was a great event or met other people like Tim Rice (also worked with Burt!
This is just a thought.
But what does the other great BURT fans thinking of it?
