    Yeah, Smokey is really the first name in falsetto soul. Curtis, of course, Johnson, Hawkins, Tatum & Durr, Derrick Harriott, the motherfuckingWhatnauts, Moments, Billy Paul at times, Earth, Wind & Fire in parts, and I'm just naming all the obvious shit, but IT'S SO GOOD. The Delfonics, althought I keep picking up and putting back their "Alive & Kicking" album, because unlike "La La Means..." the vocals on "Kicking" are TOO sweet. Almost like someone is sticking a Q-Tip caked with sugar into my ear. I didn't think I'd find anything too sweet, but I now know that it is possible.



    And just so ya'll know where I got my thumbs-up for quality from:

    Hey,

    Here are some of mine:



    Some of Claude Jeter's best work was with the Swan Silvertones (their 50s and 60s stuff is legendary). Two other favorite falsettos of mine are Paul Beasley of the Gospel Keynotes (check their 70s LPs) and Charles McClain of the Gospelaires of Dayton, Ohio (the 70s era stuff is best). McClain later joined the Gospel Keynotes during a stint where Beasley left the group (only to later return). Gospel music has produced some of the sweetest-singing falsettos.

    Peace,

    If you're gonna run an unfamiliar photo of Prince (OR ANYBODY ELSE, NOW THAT I'VE READ THE REST OF THE THREAD), you could at least IDENTIFY it, man! I wouldn't-a caught on myself if it hadn't been for the credit line that turns up when I hit the "quote" icon...

    I don't recall offhand which Osborne sang the high harmonies, but damn if he didn't nail it...
