Blue marks notes sung in falsetto or with a lighter approach.
Underlines mark notes that are obscured in the song mix or fadeout.
Italics mark spoken or non-melodic notes.
Bold marks notes that are considered to be particularly notable examples of this person's vocal capabilities.

Thanks to Platypus for being so understanding, supportive, and all-around awesome, both in regards to this thread and in general.

[Homelander]

Normally, I wouldn't count spoken notes. However, I decided to count them for this thread due to how common they are in Barry White's discography.

[Bink]

Yo, Nice thread! Just a couple of suggestions

1. For bold notes, I wouldn't mark them as italic as they are bolded and for the most part just follow the same tonal structure.
2. Purely a personal thing, but if were bolding G♯4s, I would suggest bolding the "Love Is Good With You" G♯4s instead of the "As Time Goes By" G♯4s, simply because they seem much more impressive to me than the ones in "As Time Goes By".
3. THREADPIC!

[senatorsenpai]

Really great work here. I'm a fan of Barry but didn't expect this much range from him!

That E5 from "Who's the Fool" is sounding closer to F5 to me, but personally I would say it's more italic than bold.

Barry's the king of the sexy monologue. Nice thread! I'm not sure about bolding that F5 though.

Am I hearing things, or does "Dark and Lovely (You Over There)" get down to D1 at 1:07 "You're one of a kind" on the word kind?

Nice catch! I didn’t notice that the first time. Definitely sounds like a D1 to me.

Does anyone have a link to the F1

I think it’s here.

[Macca]

Sounds like E1 but the echoes sound like Eb1

[Macca]

That A1 in Responsible sounds like there’s some kind off effect on it
G#4 in as time goes by sounds like G4
Who’s The Fool F5 sounds like E5

I think it bottoms at G1 only... same for next note, other oppinions? EDIT: maybe touching F♯1

[Platypus]

pal, you call this a remake, but you basically just copied and pasted all the notes below, like, D2 from the old 2018 thread. Back then I was notewatching way too fast and missed a bunch of shit


also, ftr, I think all the notes below F1 are bogus

I was not “copying and pasting” your old thread. Perhaps the notes are the same because it’s the same singer and there’s really not a ton I could have added. Also, I’m really not good with low notes, so there’s a good chance that I missed many low notes as well. I just used the old thread for reference with the spoken notes to see if I was getting the right pitch.

You literally changed 4 notes below E♭2.

* You moved one B♭1 to A1 ("Who's The Fool")
* Three notes are inexplicably missing from the new version ("I'm Qualified To Satisfy You" D2, Quiet Time B♭1, Sho You Right B♭1)

Barring that, all notes D2 and below are the exact same as the old thread.

I'm not trying to go at you for "plagiarizing my work" or anything like that. My point is that my previous research was dodgy, and copying it wholesale like you've done here means that you're grandfathering in all the mistakes that I made.

['S]

To say you're really not good with lows begs the question: why take on Barry White's thread? Especially when Plat himself is known to do well with the stupidly low non-melodic and subharmonic stuff.
Fwiw I wouldn't count any stuff below F♯1 other than the "Love Is the Icon" note.

[Baronessa]

Doesn't look like it's the end of the world or anything, frankly. Since we're so happy to point out mistakes in this thread, I'm sure we could help the OP to chip away at it until the quality of the research satisfies us.

Yes. I'll admit, I kinda got in over my head with this one, so any constructive feedback will be taken into account.

[Homelander]

Alright, so I decided to exclude the spoken notes from the main thread. They're still there and can be found in the spoiler box under the "Questionable Notes" section. However, I decided that his speaking isn't really representative of his range overall, so they are now officially excluded from the main section of the thread. Barry White's vocal range is now F♯1 - F5.

Edit: I might include some of the absolute strongest spoken notes, but my general policy now is to not include them.

R.I.P. Barry's spoken notes. It was such a fixture of his music that I would have thought at least some of them would have had enough of a musical cadence about them to be keepers. The bolded ones at least were surely sufficiently good to be thread-worthy.

Don't worry. I'll go through later and re-add some of the best spoken ones. The bold ones I will definitely keep and maybe a few others too. But certainly not all of them.

Don't look now, but I'm also hearing the F5 as an E5

Additionally the F♯1 you have linked for "Low Rider" is actually an A1. The F♯1s are in this section:

To me they both the linked one and the one you linked both sound like F#1 to me

Something went terribly wrong in the quoting process.
