Truly amazingly sustained high notes! The only two other popular music singers I can remember being able to do that were Roy Orbison "Only the Lonely", "Crying," and Nancy Ames's "Cu cu ru cu cu Paloma." There may be others, also, but in every case these were singers with tremendous lung power and superior vocal range talents. Opera singer skill sets which emerged from the depths of in popular music and rock, redefining their respective chosen venues. Present day "music," or what passes for it, has more pretenders than true talents with genuine singing skills. Moreover, the popular music of today utilizes very little worth listening to, mostly what would have been considered to be unworthy of recording in the long years of leading up to the present.

It's the world's loss when music alters so much that it ceases even being musical. No wonder these memorable past songs remain popular, even with some younger generation listeners. The fortunate silver lining to all of the downer sounds of today is that, so long as there is an internet, the great music of the past will be available as an alternative to the mush that is labeled as music now. Whatever the future holds in music, the option to choose to listen to great sounds will be preserved, and be available for new generations.
