Murray MacLeod Male singers: What's your highest note ? (34) RE: Male singers: What's your highest note ? 09 Jun 17


No Matt ...I don't mean operatic soprano's high A's ...I am talking high A's reached by male singers singing folk songs. ...as in this inspiring performance by John Cowan ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvRdUz96WCA .

Fast forward to 1.33 to hear the first sustained high A ( he repeats it several times during the song) . He also hits a high B as a passing note later in the song.

Cowan's high A here is the same as the high A to which I referred in the OP, sung by James Hickman at our club on Wednesday night...non-falsetto, unforced, natural tenor voice.

I will check out GUEST's suggested John Denver videos later when I have time.
