Blue marks falsetto or whistle notes.
Underlines mark notes that are obscured in the song mix.
Italics mark non-melodic notes.
Boldface marks notes that are considered to be particularly notable examples of this person's vocal capabilities.
But the belted E♭5 in "Doin' as I Seen on My TV" sounds great, and much cleaner than I would have expected! It seems like he had some unexplored potential in that range, at least on record.
