your favorite FALSETTO songs

alieNDN · July 2007

This is a thread I always wanted to make but forgot to make, I'd like to know your fave tunes with falsetto. I will start by saying one of my faves is Earth Wind and Fire's "Devotion", the vocal arrangement is priceless.

"La La Means I Love You," Delfonics
"Bread & Butter," Newbeats
"Ruby (Are You Mad)," Osborne Brothers
"You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling," Righteous Brothers (during that mid-song breakdown)

Robert John - Sad Eyes

Another AM gold classic. Best part is during the last chorus where the extreme falsetto vocal starts kicking in screaming "turn the other way ... cry cry cry". That song was making a Sunday evening grilling experience much more pleasurable last night.

"Only The Lonely Knows" by Ted Taylor.[/b]

I was waitin' for someone to post some ol Ted....I gotta go with his Okeh sides "You Give me Nothin' To Go On" "Daddy's Baby" and of course "Ramblin' Rose"

also, not soul, but I gotta ride for

"Assim Asado" and another one form the LP, but I cant for the life of me remember it off the top of my head, I believe it is called "Amor" but I am not sure...
