1991 may keep it out of the 'disco' category but for falsetto, give me Orlando Johnson rockin' the background vocals on Secchi's, "I Say Yeah". Great Italo Disco!

Sylvester: "I (Who Have Nothing)" - 1979

"Power" by the Temptations (1980). Excellent vocals by Glenn Carl Leonard who was the groups falsetto voice at the time.
Surprisingly, Berry Gordy himself produced this one.

Here's some moe

Stylistics - Hey Girl, Come And Get It
Chi-Lites - Stoned Out Of My Mind

My vote goes for "Hey Girl, Come and Get It" from the Stylistics as well. Back around 1997-1998 I heard the Van McCoy version of this song and thought the melody and lyrics sounded familiar, especially the "Oompah Oompah Oompah", even though I hadn't heard whatever it was since the early '80s, but I knew that it couldn't have been the McCoy version that I had known, because it was too obscure for pop radio. Finally, earlier this year I discovered the original Stylistics version - that's what I had heard 20 years ago! It's very nice indeed.

Also, Michael Jackson's falsetto in "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough" is great.

I like most of the choices thus far,

BUT don't forget EDDIE HOLMAN'S thrilling falsetto on...(Yes folks, I'm shilling once again).... :P

"THIS WILL BE A NIGHT TO REMEMBER"!!!!!!!!!!
