For me Eddie Holman had the cleanest purest falsetto in the business. This was a massive US hit in 1969 but failed to chart in the UK. It was rereleased in the UK in 1974 when it reached No4 on the pop chart. Despite having such a fantastic voice Eddie didn't record a whole lot of material over his career. He did briefly return in the late 70s with a superb disco album on Salsoul Records worth checking out.

Hey guys. Another song with a male falsetto but more uptempo that will have you toe tapping, dancing, head shaking from the very early '70s is " Where Did Our Love Go" by Donnie Elbert, originally sung by The Supremes . And a really strong, soulful, powerful song from this era is " Black Pearl" from Sonny Charles and The Checkmates.
