Best male falsetto?

Peter Lindelauf asks is there any better falsetto than Randy Meisner on Take it to the limit.

I say Freddie Mercury on You take my breath away is my pick.

Although I like all types of music, well except country music, let’s limit this to rock. I’d probably vote for Prince if we include R&B/Pop.

Examples:

Roger Taylor on Somebody to Love – backing vocals

Rick Wright on Echoes

Jeff Buckley on Last Goodbye

edit if you agree with Peter Lindelauf, please select other and give a plus on his post. I’m limited to 5 options and I’m a jerk because I didn’t include Randy.

Let’s Do It Again – Staple Singers

Thanks Peter Lindelauf for pointing to the Hot 100 list from 1975. I have to disagree that the list is bleak. I had fun going through the list on YT. Although I was only 5 years old, I think 1975 was pretty good. So let’s do this again.

You Sexy Thing Lyrics – Hot Chocolate

Today’s earworm, courtesy of Michelle C 

I believe in miracles

Where’re you from, you sexy thing, you sexy thang you

I believe in miracles since you came along, you sexy thing

Where did you come from, baby

How did you know, I needed you

How did you know I needed you so badly

How did you know I’d give my heart gladly

Yesterday I was one of the lonely people

Now your lying close to me, making love to me

I believe in miracles

Where’re you from, you sexy thing, sexy thing you

I believe in miracles

Since you came along, you sexy thing

Where did you come from, angel

How did you know I’d be the one

Did you know your everything I prayed for?

Did you know every night and day for

Everyday, you’d give love satisfaction

Now your lying next to me, giving it to me

I believe in miracles

Where’re you from? you sexy thing, sexy thing you

I believe in miracles

since you came along sexy thing

Kiss me, you sexy thing

Touch me baby, you sexy thing

I love the way you touch my darling, you sexy thing

It’s sextacy, you sexy thing

yesterday I was one of the lonely people

Now you’re lying close to me giving it to me

I believe in miracles

Where’re you from? you sexy thing, sexy thing you

I believe in miracles

Since you came along, you sexy thing

Touch me, Kiss me darling, I love the way you love me baby

ahh It’s ecastacy, ahhhhh its ecstacy, sexy thing,

I love the way you kiss me darling

Love the way you hold me (sexy thing sexy thing), keep on loving me darling

Keep on loving me baby (sexy thing sexy thing)
