I was on a late night train journey from London to Newcastle at some point in the 90s and Mark Knopfler was in the same carriage as me. For the first hour or so he sat quietly eating a KFC mega bucket and washing it down with first a bottle of Bombay Sapphire gin and then a bottle of Bells whisky. What a rock star! When the train had departed Retford I realised we were the only two people left in the carriage. After a few minutes he grabbed an acoustic from his luggage and wandered over to me.... "Do you want to hear a song, pet?" he asked. I replied that I did. He said "I wrote this one for Gordon as a favour for the Money For Nothing backing vocals" Then he played a note-perfect rendition of Every Breath You Take, singing in an effortless high chest voice. When he'd finished he said "don't tell anyone about this okay pet, howay" and went and sat back down in his seat. Things took a darker turn a short while later when the conductor arrived and it was apparent that Mark neither had a ticket nor the means to pay for one. He was forceably removed from the train at Durham by the British Transport Police. only now is it becoming apparent that Ivan Rebroff's C7 doesn't exist |

Any singer of popular music less interested in upper range singing than Knopfler? Father John Misty - The guy has a fairly high-placed voice, but almost never passes E♭4 without falsetto. Nick Drake - Basically nothing of decent quality above E♭4. Randy Newman - After listening to his entire discography, he's only gone above E4/F4 a handful of times. Corpse Husband - Obviously. Dan Reeder - Weak upper register and almost never uses high range (if he even has any). Bing Crosby - Anything above F4 is sparse and very far between. |

Any singer of popular music less interested in upper range singing than Knopfler? Phil Elverum: a tenor who, as far as I know, maxes out in chest at E4. Greg Gonzalez: effeminate voice but tops out at E4 in chest and A4 overall. J.D. Sumner: this one is self explanatory Richard Fairbrass: delivers nearly all his vocals in the same almost monotone way Frank Watkinson: he's Frank Watkinson |
