Robin Gibb celebrates the story of the falsetto voice from church music to chart hits.

Robin Gibb celebrates the story of the falsetto voice from church music to chart hits via castrati, doo-wop bands and, of course, the massive success of the Bee Gees.

Singer and songwriter Robin Gibb presents a celebration of falsetto singing, which he and his brothers took to previously uncharted pop heights during their late-1970s disco reign, with Stayin' Alive (1977) from Saturday Night Fever as perhaps the apotheosis. The programme looks at the history and technique of the falsetto voice, from early music to 1950s doo-wop and beyond, encompassing heavy metal, comedy pop and and power ballads. Producer Tom Alban
