Examples Of Stevie Doing Falsetto?

[blinker12]

I can think of a few other examples...

“Wild Heart” - toward the end, the ooh-hoos
“Sorcerer” - “of your misery yeah yeah” (oops just saw someone else mentioned this already)
“It’s Only Love” - “melted all the ice”
“Dreams” (Deep Dish version, she re-recorded the vocal)


To answer your question in your other thread, she seemed to stop doing falsetto on tour as early as Rumours, and on record after Wild Heart. She briefly returned to doing it on record during the TISL era, then stopped again after that. I don’t think we’ve heard true falsetto from her live or on record since.

It’s too bad, cuz I love her falsetto voice. My theory is she feels too exposed doing it on stage... it must feel unreliable. Seems like her vocal coach should be able to help her with this, though. Trained sopranos (which I know Stevie is not and has never been) sing almost exclusively in their head voices well into their 70s and beyond.

VERY RECENT! Lana Del Rey's duet track she did, Beautiful people, beautiful problems. Also, there was that random movie track that never got released that she did not too long ago and I think she did on that, can't remember the name of that song tho.

Sounds like she gave it up on stage c. 1977, but never gave it up in the studio (just employed it sporadically).

If anyone knows further examples, please add them.

Are you thinking of "Call on Me for Magic"? She definitely does falsetto on that one.

The final note of Moonlight is falsetto.

In the olden days, she'd often do the last line of Landslide in falsetto—like the Trod Nossel Wallingford show.

Relistening to 24KG yesterday, I think she does a prolonged falsetto note at the 4:27 mark of “Belle Fleur,” as the song goes into its musical outro. It’s kind of an eerie tone, almost sounds like it could be a guitar or keyboard/maybe is?

Thanks. Can't tell for sure whether it's a voice, but if it is I don't think it's hers.

I posted this in a different thread a while back but I believe this is what you are speaking of. https://youtu.be/ecQ-1NBMWp8 4:00 mark

Thanks! Is that Stevie on the backing singer/s on the high note?

Wow, that's exactly it! No idea she did it live too!

No. Pretty much the whole song. Just compare the vocals to anything on Buckingham Nicks.
