    #Syreeta feat. #GCCameron - "I Wanna Be By Your Side" (1974)

    This song has an ecstatic, pearly-gates quality to it, like Syreeta and G.C. are indeed right there by your side, clad in white, ushering you across a warmfuzzy threshold into heaven. But what to make of producer #StevieWonder's totally wild - some might say ecstatic - drumming during the crescendo? Or for that matter, the way the song doesn't end, but just cuts off cold . . .

    You might not, but me I still mourn the loss of #JuiceWRLD - in all his drug addicted, anxiety ridden, auto-tuned glory. He had lots to say! Sometimes, even in #falsetto. No doubt he would've said a lot more had he lived. RIP.

    #KingdomMolongi - "Emanuel" (#NyegeNyegeTapes, 2025)

    "singing together in an imagined language concocted from elements of Lingala, Swahili, Kikongo and French . . . Considering pre-linguistic communication, liturgical music and glossolalia (better known as speaking in tongues), their improvisations evolved into trances"

    #LutherVandross - "Take You Out" (2001)

    I don't always love this man's material, but I'll never fail to give props to his velvet tenor - especially when it's this song. Plus he's improvising with a little #falsetto at the end. For once, #JayZ and I agree: this is late-life Luther greatness.

    The keen ears at @blogamf hipped me to #CrammedDiscs’ 2022 release of this lost 1987 album by Congolese-born/Belgian-raised #MauricePotoDoudongo. It's future forward electro-funk, ala #ZazouBiyake - or #Prince, fr christs sake! - but steeped in the rhythms and textures of #CongoleseRumba and #Soukous. Rich, joyful, and really quite beautiful, this one gets me moving and still sounds relevant today.

    The life struggles behind #Debarge couldn't be more tragic - it's astounding that to date only Bobby has passed. But on record, their collective voices were nothing short of angelic. "I Like It" was a great illustration of just how celestial Randy, Bunny, & Eldra could be when they flew high.

    With the 2025 #NBA season now officially over and done with, how's a desperate, basketball-addicted fanboy supposed to get by? Me, I always ask in my best #falsetto: What Would #CheechAndChong Say?

  17. #NowPlaying #FalsettoFriday #RootsReggae

    How I love those old 3-part #reggae vocal groups: the Wailers, the Maytals, the Meditations . . . but especially the #Heptones. And their Danny Holloway-produced Night Food LP has always been my go-to album. Is that #BarryLlewellyn or #EarlMorgan singing those high #falsetto harmonies here? Man they hit me deep.

    Can women sing in #falsetto? If it's understood to be that breathy/reedy span of pitches somewhere above one's normal singing range, then damn right women can. "Love On The Brain" demonstrates it beautifully - #Riri was born to sing falsetto.

  21. #FalsettoFriday #NowPlaying #RoxyMusic

    These days, #BryanFerry is a pro-fox hunting/anti-Scottish Independence Tory blowhard - albeit one with impeccable taste in men's formal wear. But that says nothing of his graceful musical instincts and beautiful #falsetto, still utterly captivating as he nears 8 decades on this planet. His take on #JBlackfoot's "Taxi" (from 1993, produced by #RobinTrower) lends quiet desperation to the original. This one's always on repeat somewhere in the back of my mind.
