You're so right. His voice is manna from heaven. My favourite vocal performances of his are "Frankie and Johnny" and "Holding On To You". | |

which song? "One Hundred Ways". He does the middle part in falsetto. Like I said it was just a mention. He didn't normally sing in falsetto. | |

He didn't normally sing in falsetto. ..not to mention the intro to 'Yah Mo B There'.. to me it's Philip Bailey on 'I'll Write A Song For You'... especially the last minute. Jeff Buckley in 'Grace'.. also last minute but if I wanted a falsetto voice in my band -not that I'm capable of playing any instrument- it would be Sylvester, listen to his version of 'I Who Have Nothing' or his little but very important contribution to Diana Ross 'No One Gets The Price' and..... be amazed! | |

My gosh. I just think folks don't know the depth of TTD's voice, lyrics and writing sometimes. (I'm not calling people clueless or parochial -- I just know how cool I think he is as an artist.)
I'm listening to "Sweetness." The man is just blowing. Wonderful song. And, Wendy's on the bass.  | |

I've always said that Ron Banks is one of the most underrated falsettos in R&B history. | |
