[edit] Source

How did whoever added her as a whistle register singer find out about that? I've never heard her sing high enough.

Well I have. I just saw a performance from her (from like four years ago) on the BET Jazz Channel and she hit and sustained some very high notes. I'm pretty sure that she has recorded some songs in which she sings in the whistle register, that's why I added the category. Lesanichelle 07:02, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Is it this video cus the high note she sings is C6(although i see why you would think it is whistle because she makes it sound higher)

That's pretty impressive, but no that's not the clip. She hit a note higher (C#6) on the other clip that I saw.

But can she hit notes E6+? Myke 02:01, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

I took her name off of the whistle register list, because I couldn't find any notes that Miss Moore hit higher than Db6. If anyone else finds something, they can add it. Not saying that she doesn't have the ability to, but there needs to be proof.TamYum 04:56, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1965?

The musical, HAIR, started in 1967, so I don't know how she could have debuted in 1965 in the production.

[edit] Melba's Vocal

It is said that Melba Moore held a 35 seconds note in her song Lean On Me, and she also held about a 31 second note in The Other Side Of The Rainbow. I bought one of her compilation albums and the writer states that Melba Moore held a 3 minutes note. What I want know is if there has been others who have held these notes, and if not, why is it that Melba is not listed in the Guinness Book Of Records.
