I'm still going through the Rockapella albums with Baldi. No footage I can find of him singing with Boyz II Men in the 1980s and the Voices of Liberty in the mid 1990s. He also sang as Frankenstein for the Beetlejuice Rock and Roll show at Universal Studios Japan in 2001. Boyz II Men was previously known as Unique Attraction when Baldi left the group in 1988.

There's not much live footage I can find of Baldi singing in his upper register. On one Rockapella album, Smilin, I'm still unable to pinpoint his low notes in the songs with his additional vocals.
