You're not just a pretty face NG Toward the end of the song, Withers holds a note for 18 seconds.[4] This is believed to be the second-longest note in UK chart history; Morten Harket of A-ha's 20-second note in "Summer Moved On" (2000) is the longest. Withers' note is sustained in chest voice, whereas Harket utilizes the falsetto range. The former remains the longest of any Top 40 hit in the United States. Some[who?]claim Freddy Curci of the band Sheriff holds the final falsetto note of "When I'm with You", a number one song in the U.S. in 1989, for about 20 seconds, although his voice seems to transform into a sound effect, created in the studio.

My ears perked up when Bruce Springsteen made a glowing tribute on CNN. Yeahh.... revered by Springsteen, Dylan and Kristofferson among others. Kristofferson said when he introduced him to the world something like if he kept writing like that they'd have to break his thumbs! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
