Sal Valentino "Dreamin' Man"

(www.gragroup.com) Though Valentino sung with the Beau Brummels in the 60s this is anything but an oldies album. Valentino's voice is a magnificent instrument, a high falsetto that's crisper than most non-falsetto's, and while I'm not usually invested in this kind of mature adult pop, SV's voice lifts the material out of any rootsy or singer-songwritery ruts.
