When it comes to falsetto, no one comes close to the Super Philip. For someone who’s a natural baritone to hit frightening ranges in the falsetto, you have to give it to him.

I always thought Philip was a female singing because back in the day, no one knew. All we had access to was sound. When more technology became available, I went into shock to learn it had been a man singing those lyrics in that range the whole time! He's extremely impressive. Just an amazing human being.

I love Earth, Wind, And Fire! I remember hearing there music when I was a child and getting goosebumps. I still get goosebumps and that great feeling that pure music from the soul gives you. I am so thankful and blessed that my parents was playing this music in our home. Their impact on music is so wide ranging and you can see their impact on Hip Hop with Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, The Roots, all the way to Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak.

Phillip Bailey was incredible on the 1980’s Prog Rock album “Smallcreeps Day”. Hired as the lead singer by Bassist Michael Rutherford of Genesis. A forgotten gem. One of my favorite Prog Albums. It could have easily have been the next Genesis album after “And Then There Were Three”. Please check it out if you can find it.

Another bad mamma jamma! My high school was just like a school for the arts. People singing in the hallways in all high pitch fascetto ranges. Everyone back then had to sing in high ranges! That was the thang and Phillip Bailey was the one we all modeled after. Beautiful high pitch voice with the song, "Keep Your Head To The Sky." Every one used to sing that song practicing the highest ranges of Phillip Baileys riffs. Definitely one of my inspirations for singing in high fascetto! The group EW&F was and still is a beautiful group with positive music and lyrics!

I loved EWF since the mid-seventies, however once their music began to become more mainstream by the early 80's, their R&B sound changed dramatically to a more POP sound (songs like September, Let's Groove Tonight, and Philip Bailey's duet Easy Lover, with Pop singer Phil Collins, 😤, Earth,Wind&Fire's career was coming to end, and despite Philip Bailey's dynamic 💥💯 Falsetto range 🥰🌟 for those of you who are true R&B music fans, there are so many more dynamic 💥 💯 BLACK male FALSETTO 's especially from the 70's with the ranges that were equal or even better than Philip Bailey's, however most of these powerhouse male FALSETTOS were the LEAD VOCALISTS of their perspective singing groups, the Stylistics, Enchantment, Delphonics, and so many more to mention 🥰, i loved their music unconditionally!!!!

Unbelievably, he replaced the late, great Eddie Kendricks as my all time favorite falsetto guy. In the early 70s, I called him "Eddie 2.0", but surpassed and exceeded the historical marks Eddie (and even Smokey) made. He's "Eddie 3.0! He's the greatest.
