What are some songs (aside from Mariah Carey and Minnie Riperton) with whistle register

Okay guys, this will be my last post of the week! I promise! This week's final playlist, for all of you high note fanatics out there (myself included), I'm interested in songs in which the singer sings in the whistle register:

The hard part, however, is the exception of Mariah Carey and Minnie Riperton examples

A few that I've come up with:

No Pain, No Gain- Betty Wright

Autumn Leaves- Rachelle Ferrell

Why Can't We Fall In Love- Deniece Williams

What are some others? Remember NO Mariah Carey or Minnie Riperton (as much as I ADORE them)!

After this post, that's all for this week folks! I'll be out of your hair! lol

Chante Moore, has a "whistle" register. Check out her songs, "Searchin'" and, "As If We Never Mer", from her debut.

Besides Mimi and Minnie, Chante, Betty, Rachelle and Deniece are really the only other singers I can think of who can really go up that high.

Shakespear's Sister featured Marcella Detroit singing in an ultra soprano that comes pretty darn close to the "whistle register.'

Check out "Stay" - their biggest hit. Here is a link to another favorite, "You're History."

Roxy Music - Avalon

I saw them live with the female singer that sang this on the album... it was special.
