{questionable notes}
*Bobby had a lot of intentional low sing-speaking, a lot of which sustained solid pitches. I tried to only include it in the main thread at its most melodic and only mention it here at its most quasi-countable
G5 ("Simple Man" Questionable control)
A2 ("Jealous Love" questionable identity (not as raspy as I'd expect of Bobby))
E2 ("You're Welcome, Stop On By" Spoken)
D2 ("Fire and Rain" Spoken, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" brief octave slides, "You" spoken)
C♯2 ("One More Chance On Love" Spoken, "Stand Up", "When Love Begins Friendship Ends" spoken)
C2 ("(If You Want My Love) Put Something Down On It", "Interlude #2" spoken, "Jealous Love" spoken, "Quicksand" questionable tone, "We've Only Just Begun" spoken)
B1 ("One More Chance On Love" Spoken, "Sweet Caroline" spoken)
B♭1? ("I Can Understand It" indeterminate pitch)
A1 ("Trust Your Heart" spoken)
