[1] marks yelps and short trills in high range or anacrusis and short dips in low range.
[2] marks notes of questionable identity that cannot be confirmed to be the singer in question.
[3] marks non-melodic notes that don't have a significant enough pitch to warrant inclusion.
[4] marks notes that possess uncertain pitch or have been pitch-shifted.
[5] marks notes that do not fit the previous criteria but are not of a substantial enough quality to warrant counting towards the singer's range.
{Albums Checked}Note I haven't listed album ranges as nearly all I could find of him were compendiums of tracks from different times- some song versions listed in the thread specify a year if he recorded the song in a different key at a different time or added different notes- the year comes from which compendium I found it on first.
