You fellers are all too young, I guess, but the epitome of male falsettos is Frankie Valli of the Four Seasons. However, my favorite song with falsetto is Lou Christie's Lightnin'Strikes. See attached link.

He has a very good regular voice but cranks it high for the chorus.

Generally, though, I don't care for falsetto singers.

Lou Christie - "Beyond The Blue Horizon"
I just learned LC based this on an earlier version:

Michael Nesmith and the First National Band - "Beyond The Blue Horizon" (1970)

Randy Jackson (Zebra) was the first person I thought of.

From current, probably should mention Adam Levine. (no gay)

What about my guy James Vincent McMorrow?


Get Low

Whoever mentioned Justin Vernon is spot on, also. His voice is fantastic and almost always in falsetto.


And as much as most of you don't like the next suggestion, any mention of falsetto singers in modern times probably has to include Sam Smith.

I actually like Barry Gibbs voice


Man, I just went on an early Bee Gees bender. So good. Like a totally different band. I think I read or heard in an interview that he didn't even know he had the falsetto until the album "Main Course."
