Subject: RE: Male singers: What's your highest note ?
Hello Murray:
There's a forum called "The Range Place" where you can search for such things.
FOR JOHN DENVER

Not counting the falsetto. You can find the following on YouTube:
1973 "John Denver and Paul Williams Drift Away" a sweet C5
1982 performance of "Eagle and Hawk" twice reaching B
1969 "Civil War Medley" for Bb - two steps higher than Bob Gibson's original
Any performance of "Eagle and Hawk" the first verse is A throughout
But two of his collaborators would kill him when it comes to high notes: Placido Domingo and Alexander Gradsky. With these two he only sang low harmony.
FOR PHIL OCHS

I remember him reaching A on "Tape of California", the second bridge "The scene is coming soon".
FOR ME
I have no trouble singing any John Denver song
