Michael Jackson [SEP] Vocal style
Jackson sang from childhood, and over time his voice and vocal style changed. Between 1971 and 1975, his voice descended from boy soprano to high tenor. He was known for his vocal range. With the arrival of "Off the Wall" in the late 1970s, Jackson's abilities as a vocalist were well regarded; "Rolling Stone" compared his vocals to the "breathless, dreamy stutter" of Stevie Wonder, and wrote that "Jackson's feathery-timbred tenor is extraordinarily beautiful. It slides smoothly into a startling falsetto that's used very daringly." By the time of 1982's "Thriller", "Rolling Stone" wrote that Jackson was singing in a "fully adult voice" that was "tinged by sadness".
