LEJ Songs I can't sing (55* d) RE: Songs I can't sing 19 Jul 99


Peter T... Roy's range was absolutely phenomenal. And I'm not sure he actually went into falsetto to hit those skyrocket notes- his transition from the baritone notes on into the top of his range was seamless. And so many of his songs were constucted to capitalize on that multi-octave range, starting low and building to that transcendent peak, and sustaining it! Springsteen said that Roy's music came straight from his soul, unhindered by physical limitations, and I agree that there was something spiritual about his voice, a certain harmonic that left the air ringing long after he had ended his song.
