The Best Falsetto Singers - a "Men Only" Club

Best falsetto performances: “Bennie & the Jets,” “Tiny Dancer,” “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.” Elton used falsetto often, especially in his early-to-mid 1970s heyday. And although he never professed to be an R&B singer, nor even pretended to be able to hit the notes of his R&B contemporaries, his use of falsetto proved effective. The video below is of his classic “live” Soul Train performance a year after “Bennie & the Jets” was a hit. You’ll have to wait until about two-thirds through the performance to hear him unleash his falsetto on the all-too-happy group of Soul Train Dancers that surrounded him on stage.
