Yeah i’m not seeing it. He goes near falsetto on A Man Needs A Maid
And still holds the notes. Granted barely.
I love Jim Croce. He created wonderful characters in his songs. I have two songbooks of his music. It stays within an octave. It’s more of a speaking style.
Alan Jackson is a baritone. He stays within an octave. But he’s far more versitile than Croce. I like singing Alan’s material. It’s in my comfort song of singing.
As others point out. You don’t need a large vocal range to make music that people love.
A large range does give more flexibility in the songs an artist sings.
Drake. Two notes. Flat and slightly flatter.
Considering that he was one of the best popular singers ever, Nat King Cole had a pretty limited range.
Judging from “Strong Enough”, Cher has a range of 3 notes.
O god yes. I can’t stand him. Every track sounds the same with those one-and-a-half notes.
Her vocoder tho has a 6 octave range.
He used to have more range, but he’s now at a point where he shouts a lot of the words instead of singing them, because he can’t hit high notes OR (more importantly) the low notes that used to define him.
What?
Are you daft? or deaf
Just listen to the wonderful vocal ranges presented in WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS or YELLOW SUBMARINE, he must be spanning…
…ummm
…yea nevermind, i got nuthin:D
Yoko.
Madonna.
Her voice is pretty average with limited range. F3-C5 which is about 1.5 octaves
Both of the ones I was thinking were already covered: William Shatner & Neil Diamond (today, anyway).
In fact, both “sing” in pretty much the same style…
I’m not sure what the intent of the original OP was, but if it was that vocal range equated to ‘good singing’, then Yma Sumac must be the best singer of all time…
