Yes, he does sing just fine, but just not as great as needed for this type of material. Brian sings Ok, but he is 68 years old. Nobody's pipes are that great at that age. I have no problem with autotune if used sparingly.
It's not used sparingly, and what I'm saying is that if they'd applied a bit of pitch correction to the few notes that needed it, it would sound worlds better than running the entire vocal through an autotune filter.
Thing is, they didn't. No auto tune on this song or, I'm lead to believe, the whole album.

Funny you mention this now. I was watching a clip of Petula Clark from a couple of years back. (she's 78 this year) This is the last song of the gig and she must have looked after her voice compared to Brian. At the end of a show he's struggling.

Wirestone:
Brian's voice is actually in decent shape -- not great, but nowhere near as bad as it could have been (and arguably better than it was 10 or 20 years ago). His tone and phrasing are better than they used to be, and his pitch -- well, some days are better than others. (See the other thread about Elton John -- he's five years younger than Brian and arguably has the voice in worse shape.)
Female performers tend to take better care of their voices, I think, and certainly jazz and standard-type singers like Ms. Clark often sing into their 80s with great accuracy and emotion (and Petula Clark is doing a lot of work in that performance to disguise any age in her voice -- she shouts instead of sings at one point, and her vibrato is a little wobbly, but the spirit and performance make it all fade away).

Anyone else hear a snippet of "The Spirit of Rock n' Roll" in the intro to "The Like In I Love You"? Specificially the "as long's there's music we'll all live forever" melody.
Yep...That's the first thing I thought too...
Every time I play the song...I sing that snippet during the intro... :banana
