Prince's Falsetto Voice

Who else can deliver a song falsetto like Prince? Nobody, especially not an uptempo song.(Come to think of it, I don't know of another male artist who has recorded an uptempo song singing falsetto other than him and MJ) Can anyone think of a male singer that can use their falsetto as well or better than Prince? (not MJ)

When I think of Prince...I feel that He has the most unique sound of any person, male or female. Absolutely breath taking and welcoming to listen to Prince sing. cool

I don't think anyone can sing falsetto better than Prince but I like Pharell's voice. And don't forget the Bee Gees LOL!!

I don't think there is a show from beginning to current that can top the 6.7.1984 1st Avenue show

there is a lot of falsetto in this high energy show

^ Al, Al, Al... Al Green...
Actually I'm not sure about Smokey Robinson, I guess it wasn't falsetto but his actual vocal range...
