...falsetto in the gospel group the Swan Silvertones, which he founded, Claude Jeter influenced a number of performers with songs such as "Careless Soul" and "Mary Don't You Weep." The latter has a lyric that inspired Simon and Garfunkel's famous tune "Bridge over Troubled Water." Jeter...
What's clear within the first moments of Chinese Democracy is that Rose still has his snarl.

On “Sherlock Holmes,” the synth flourishes of the original are replaced with a heavy guitar line while Collins showcases his impressive falsetto, transforming the glam rock tune into a darker affair. “Fire in the Western World” conveys less all-out hysteria than the original punk song, with the vocals pushed into the background and a slower tempo, but a military-style drumbeat maintains the song?...
