I have more favorites but I can't think of them right now.

Mike Lindup (Level 42)
Jon King (Gang of Four)

Now how the hell did I forget about the Temptations? YES.....wonderful falsetto. I think his name is Eddie Kendricks though...I'm not sure.

Two more I forgot were O'Bryan and Sylvester. Oh yes, and Con-Funk-Shun....."Got To Be Enough", "Too Tight", and especially their ballad "Straight From The Heart".

PHILLIP BAILEY

For Reasons alone.

Are y'all forgetting TTD?

I quite like it when John Mayer goes falsetto at the end of "Clarity".

Forgot Philip Bailey. Someone else mentioned Terry Huff & Special Delivery. That's a great one and I saw that the "Lonely One" was finally available on CD!
