Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2018 21:38:56 -0500 From: "Chris Mathis" <cmathis@brothersgibb.com> Subject: Too Much Heaven - UNICEF My son mentioned a current entertainer that recently donated some money to charities in Florida. In the conversation I mentioned how the Bee Gees donated the song royalties from Too Much Heaven back in the late 70's. Does anyone know how much that donation has raised to date? Back to top

Date: Mon, 5 Mar 2018 21:35:50 -0600 From: KittLarue <marjlarue@gmail.com> Subject: Re: Falsetto Quite a high vocal but Rob doesn't have to be singing in falsetto. I think this was him singing in a higher vocal range. Outside of Baz using falsetto, he could not reach the highs that Rob could in his natural voice, at least I've never heard him.
