Phillip Bailey's vocal range is very impressive. This man started as a false-setto supporting singer to Maurice White during earlier days of EWF. The last album with Maurice White was Illumination released in the mid-2000's, and he quit touring some time before that, and passed away about 10 years later due likely to complications of Parkinsons. Mr. Bailey has done double duty replicating Maurice's lower tones, as well as singing his own parts on tour for more than 20 years. Hats off to this guy.
