re: Let's talk male falsetto lead singers

Over half of the ones you listed are tenors. Marvin Gaye is the greatest tenor of all time. He could hit falsetto notes like in Trouble Man but most of his vocals were in the tenor range. Dude did all of his own background vocals on several albums including Trouble Man, Hear, My Dear, and What's Going On.

Hear My Dear is one emotionally packed album due to the fact that a stipulation in his divorce settlement required that a portion of royalties from his next album go to his ex wife, Anna Gordy who was 20 years his elder. So, he wrote every song on the album to her as kind of a frick you. The song "Anna's Song" is haunting in a way when listened to with this in mind. That whole album ( which pretty much bombed) truly highlights his vocal range. Live "Distant Lover" from Madison Square Garden is another that gives me chills as you can hear the pain in his voice as he gets to the last 1/3 of the performance.
