[EddieCheivz]

Voice Type: Tenor Del Olvido
Vocal Range: C♯2-C5
Years Active: 1965-2001 (actually until his death in 2019, but just doing concerts almost toneless in his voice, without new material)
Associated Acts: Los PEG
Nationality: Mexican

José Romulo Sosa Ortiz (José José) was a mexican singer and interpreter, being very famous at 70s and 80s (and currently as well lol) in whole Latin America for his ballads and his latin music. He's known also as the nickname "El Principe de la Cancion" (The Song Prince) since 1976 for his album with the same title. He started with some bossa-nova and jazz groups playing the guitar, the double bass and singing at mid 60s.
Since the beggining his voice was very warm, able to reach solid high notes and constantly keeping good resonance in his low register too, here for example even sounding really strong while he's singing B♭2s when he was just 17.
Mainly at early 70s was his vocal peak: strong high notes, usually going upper E4 and with good resonance in his low register, sounding pretty solid until A2, always having a voice pretty clear in his singing. Around 1974-1976 he lost in good measure his ease and solidity to can sing that well supported 4th octave notes, (it's appreciable how the controll in his voice in "Vive" 1974 album, decreased). Practically since this incident i can hear his voice more contained, not so freed and definitely with less ponderous and potency.
By early 80s he still continued hitting high notes, sometimes even until G4 or A4, altough the impersonation was good, the potency in his voice and his brightsness had lost. But after that a new decrease was notorious in his voice: by late of the same decade, around his 40, and yet at earlys 90s too, Jose Jose practically left behind any note above E4, barely having the enough technique to continuing his career as singer, just few times keeping good tone around F4. He recorded some albums more at 90s, his last album (the 31th) was released in 2001.
His work in this century it's almost null: since his last album in 2001, practically all are more concert and gigs without new material: this probably because his alcoholism dented his voice practically his whole life, it affected to his voice even before 80s, and after some alcoholism relapses in his life, continued to rolling with the voice he still can to preserve.
He died at September 28th 2019, he was very famous in his country and in speak spanish countries, being a big star from contemporaneous latin music.

{YOUNG SINGING NOTEWATCH}

By late 60s and early 70s, when his voice was capable to support with good tone and position his highs, his higher register was much more satisfying and predominant:

For example, for his highs he usually going until F4 omitting E4s he could be sing lower, and that's the reason why in his young thread E4 section is considerably smaller comparing with the long section in the final thread. Also Jose was uncapable to reach good high notes by 80s, so almost half of his 31 albums were recorded with him hitting constantly just E4s, avoiding notes above F and using his low register with the same efficiency than before.
F4 section here is the biggest. Also now is appreciable how F♯4s and G4s areas are bigger than in the complete thread, where there's a considerable size contrast between E and F sections (really huge), and F♯ and G sections (not so big). 
The difference in the threads is overwhelming: High notes section here is bigger than the Lows one, even he reached G4s with the same frequency sing comfortable C3s, leaving out the equal amount with A2 as in the complete thread. Here he really sang in his comfortable high range, when it's appreciable how he always can support his voice good until G, and somtimes going up until A.

Without further ado; here's his range thread until 1974, his first eight albums (since 1969) and his first lp recordings from 1965 as "Pepe Sosa" and the other one with his group "Los PEG", when his voice and mainly his high notes sounding better than ever.

Wonderful voice from Mexico, a solid singer with a great tone.
By the way, you left a [/font] at the end of the post.

[EddieCheivz]

I just include his Young Thread, to make more visible his young capabitilies, the range extremities and the ease he sang in his higher register before starting to loose the tone and weight in his highs around mid 70s. I attached a spoiler box with it at the end of the post.

On the other hand, i'd like to receive opinions about the inclusion of this: I counted them as non melodic notes, but i don't really see too much musical intention in it, even keeping in mind that is an italic note.

[Siren]

No me digas que te vasssssss
What a singer

[EddieCheivz]

I think I got an awesome range expansion I never thought see :D


Please tell me I'm not the only one who hear an F♯5 above: "Cuando me lo vas a daaaaaa aaauhh"

[Macca]

I'm actually hearing that on the da but it could possibly be an overtone

[senatorsenpai]

That does sound like F♯5 alright, but I'm not sure "awesome" is the word for it.

[Macca]

On his Wikipedia page, his years active was 1963-2012

[EddieCheivz]

-Macca I don't know mate... I really hear a quick glissando from 4^th octave to slide to the F♯ and the sound of note itself also sounds as a fifth octave imo
-senatorsenpai the awesome thing is the range expansion, not the note that make possible that range expansion
-Macca I read about he started in 1963 yeah, but I've never seen any material or little stuff from him actually before 1965, also he was just 15 at 1963 thing that make me doubt a bit more. So I don't really know.

Dude, you're looking for "quality" in a thread from a forum that determinate singers vocal ranges, aaaaand vocal range size does not determinate at all "quality" but "quantity" in fact, then you should search quality on other things as the bold notes for example.
I just said I got an awesome range expansion with that shit, and one from C5 to F#5 yeah, it is :D

[BAZanine]

That F♯5 caps at G5 to my ear and I do not think it's countable, especially when it's expanding his range by that much.

[EddieCheivz]

Noo please don't say that, my wishes for free him from "Less than 3 octaves vocal range" catacombs finally came true 🤧🤧

[EddieCheivz]

Ok, im going to give my honest opinion I accept happy any feedback or input:

I'm sure thing make this note so unacceptable for some people is the big distance between C5 and F♯5 as BAZ said, first of all note itself aren't that bad as I think It's been judged. The expanding is big yeah, but there is enough reason to justify it, and that's mainly beacause José never really looked like particularly interested to focus on his falsetto notes and few times he did it at least publicly he did it on a very conservative part of his falsetto register.
I agree to exclude notes that expand a singer vocal range that much for other cases; where note is a shit (I'd say not quite here) or where singer in question, judging by her/his whole material and capabilities really looked very uncapable to reach alleged note, and the inclusion of tha extremity would look some strecht for that singer.

That's not the case here imo beacause José actually sound very comfortable singing on his highest previous notes.
If I were hearing José going for his previos notes with much difficulty or some trace that make us realize he actually is going until his actual upper register, as a strain tone or something I would agree with no bother with that F♯5, but I don't think that's case.

[Platypus]

bad note

[EddieCheivz]

Legend goes it was such a bad bad bad bad note that it beat all tiny notes.

[Bink]

It sounds like the aftermath of when I breathe too hard.

But this is the exact reason why the likes of Susanna Hoff's C6 isn't included in her respective thread, so I disagree. And that note is far better than the F#5 in question here and that's the main reason why people are arguing for it to be spoilered - the note itself is admittedly poor and doesn't justify its own inclusion and that's not even considering the fact it adds a tritone worth of range expansion. 

[Homelander]

I don’t mind the range gap (I always thought that was a bogus reason for discounting a note), but the note itself sounds like a very low-quality note.

I see your points,  I'm having second thoughts for the note yeah, but I do think note could justify its own inclusion if the circumstances were different: "the note itself is admittedly poor and doesn't justify it adds a tritone worth of range expansion" I prefer to use that phrase.
Probably I'd bother with counting it if his previous note were something like E5 also think very less people would do any objection for it but yeah, I think it's fine exclude it.

Maybe someday I'll find an usable 3 octaves vocal range extremity for him tho.
