What is Barry Gibb’s vocal range?

Barry Gibb's vocal range is commonly cited as F2 to D6 — about 3.8 octaves, or 45 semitones, and is usually classified as tenor. Full voice is cited up to around G4; everything above that comes from falsetto or head voice.

Natural voice sits low and reedy; the disco records ride an insistent, vibrato-heavy falsetto. That cited span is wider than 93% of the 357 voices in this library.

Reading the numbers

  • The top note beats 94% of the 127 tenors in this library.
  • 19 semitones — 42% of the whole span — sit above the cited full-voice ceiling, so much of this range is head voice, falsetto or whistle rather than chest.
  • The ceiling clears the conventional tenor top of C5 by 14 semitones.
  • The span runs 13 semitones past the median voice in this library (32 semitones).
  • 1 other voice here carries the identical cited range — at the resolution these figures are quoted in, those voices are indistinguishable on the chart.

Commonly cited figures, not lab measurements — extreme notes are one-off recorded moments, not the singer’s everyday range.
