My personal opinion
In my opinion Sir Constancio de Guzman created a bunch of beautiful Music focusing on slow and gentle love songs I could have added more but there was a lack of info to pick from. His songs are timeless due to how beautifly it was produce and to be honest a lot of todays love music could learn a thing or two from him.
