Obviously Mike usually goes the low route, but he has a pretty wonderful range. I was just wondering if there were any examples of him going higher, and beyond what you thought he could? And, what song with Mike on lead impressed the heck out of you most?

Same here. He goes pretty high on that and even a brief falsetto. One of his best songs vocally.

Cassius Love vs. Sonny Wilson

He sings plenty of falsetto there. And even if it sounds miserable because it's a joke, he shows he could hit the notes.

Am I the only who's shocked that Mike hasn't named one of his solo albums Mike Love To You?

He should cover The Stone Roses' Love Spreads.

Also, say what you want about Sumahama, but Mike's highish vocals are just beautiful.

Aren't You Glad! Definitely one of Mike's best vocals.

"All I Want To Do" seems pretty high in his range and is a great vocal performance. "All I Wanna Do" indeed has a bit of rarely heard falsetto from teh lovesterzzz, which is also well performed.

Mike hits quite high notes on 10 Little Indians ("...never did a thing"), That's Not Me ("I miss my..."), Sunshine ("Sailing on..." etc.), Here Today ("a BRAND... IS..."), All Summer Long. That's all I can recall at this moment. And agree with Cassius vs. Sonny, AIWD, AIWTD & Sumahama.

As for the 2nd question, first song where I was impressed by Mike's vocals - Add Some Music to Your Day; from all the vocals I liked his the most & thought he's the best singer of the group.

Thanks!
Yeah, he did great on that one.
I wish Bruce had bigger parts in it though.
His voice sounds great on it.

Also, I was just listening to Anna Lee, The Healer, and he gets pretty high on that too.
