Why We Love The Bee GeesBy Helen Pridmore/The ConversationIn this dreary COVID-19 winter, there are some high points - and high notes - available to people cooped up at home. The documentary The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, which premiered on HBO in December, explores the musical significance of the group and is interwoven with performance footage. At the Super Bowl on Feb. 7, the halftime performer will be Canada's The Weeknd. What kind of sound do these singers share?

Falsetto is associated particularly with the male voice singing in the range normally used by women and children. Posted on February 6, 2021
