I've lost most of my falsetto as I aged, but songs like this are why I worked on having a really good falsetto.
Frankie Valle, Smokey, Phillip Bailey, Eddie Kendricks, Lou, all made me want to be able to sing like that.

I was a stoner and skipped a lot of classes but choir was not one of them, I made A's all through high school but only in choir and I had a couple of tough but great music teachers. Loved singing.

I remember getting my first kiss in the late 60's. Lightning struck.
