PrintableStevie Wonder has a beautiful falsetto... but he never uses it! Power Flower is the only song he sings a good chunk of in falsetto, and then there's a little tiny part in "Joy Inside My Tears" (Nobody ever thought it would *falsetto* BE!) and "If Ever" where he does falsetto and it sounds awesome.
But as far as the best goes, MJ, Maxwell, Eddie Holman, Smokey Robinson... One of my favorite performances of all time... | |

Another great falsetto that a lot of people overlook is Otis Stokes from Lakeside. His performance of "Given In To Love" on the "Solar Galaxy of Stars Live" DVD is absolutely wonderful. Andy is a four letter word. | |

It's funny that some people are answering Maxwell, I saw him in concert recently and he could not hit a high note for shit, the public was singing most of the time, I wonder if he is still able to use his falscetto [Edited 12/22/09 14:03pm] | |
