Inspired by listening to Tony Blackburns Sounds Of The Sixties and hearing a song I haven’t heard for years. Apologies for the very creepy clip of Jimmy Saville at the start of the video

True, or later Bee Gees and The Darkness. I was hoping for some less obvious choices

Yes, obvious, but Wilson's falsetto has never really been beaten and Pet Sounds may be the most vocally perfect album ever. Not including it would be wrong.

...and a slightly less mainstream one. 12:54 for those impatient for the falsetto.
14:13 for a falsetto "and on the guitar..."

This is a bit love or hate but I think it’s fantastic and played it non-stop - Mrs Corner didn’t agree!

The falsetto on this one is Russell Thompkins Jr no less - not sure you can get suits like this anymore in case you were wondering

If you’re allowing female falsetto this one is genius imo

Has there ever been a singer with a bigger range. You have to wait right to the end for him to build up to a falsetto in this one
