#NowPlaying #FalsettoFriday

Wasn't every #SFhippie that could harness an effortless #falsetto like #BillChamplin. This helped #SonsOfChamplin pivot seamlessly from Bay Area #HippieRock into funky R&B ala #TowerOfPower. But it also meant that even their gentle, spacey numbers had a soulful core few other psych bands ever knew existed.
