  • 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.

    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”.

THEY were EXCELLENT MUSICIANS, which according to Q.J ,the beetles were NOT . AS well as wrote their own songs .While embracing an afro-centric spiritual belief philosophy
    No there's no comparison.

    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!!!!

    4:55 - LOL - Um, how about The Beatles being 'dubbed' "The white Earth, Wind & Fire", instead of EW&F being dubbed, "The black Beatles"??! Why is it always Caucasians that are automatically seen as the benchmark for every dang thing? I mean, it was black folks who created Rock & Roll in the first place, lest we forget. There would be no Beatles if it weren't for Little Richard, or Chuck Berry, or Big Momma Thornton, etc., etc., etc. Just about every form of popular music in America was formed and pioneered by black artists. And it is about time that these pioneers be considered the benchmarks upon which all others who come after them are compared. I mean, it's no different than how many of these ignorant arse young folks these days are under the mistaken impression that Hip-Hop and Rap began with Eminem, LMBO! Just keepin' it 100% real, folks.

    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!
