There is a funny story told. I don’t know if it’s true. According to the story, Karen and a friend of hers were driving somewhere with the radio on and she was singing along with all the songs on the radio. Her friend said, “You have a great soprano. Why don’t you ever use it?”
To which Karen replied, “The money’s in the basement.”
...
I wonder if Barry Gibb knows that.
I think her voice was lower than his.,
But in opera, they have what are called countertenors. They’re pretty much up there in Bee Gee rang, but their natural range is usually baritone. David Daniels is perhaps teh most prominent operatic countertenor.
(BTW, I do a pretty good Bee Gee. I’m told it sounds like Maurice.)
