How Kenny Loggins uses that range
Breath control powers the style: long, arcing phrases that move from feathered, airy intimacy to bright, sustained top notes without losing line. He mixes early, keeps vowels narrow on the climb, and uses falsetto as a deliberate color at the extremes. Rhythmic feel is supple, floating around the beat. The imitation error is starting loud; his crescendos work because the first bars are genuinely soft, and singers who open at full voice have nowhere to build.

Reading the numbers
- D2 is a deep floor for a tenor — lower than all but 10 of the 223 tenors here.
- 14 semitones — 30% 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.
- That floor is a full 10 semitones beneath where a tenor's range conventionally starts (C3).
- The ceiling clears the conventional tenor top of C5 by 13 semitones.
- The span runs 14.5 semitones past the median voice in this library (32.5 semitones).
Commonly cited figures, not lab measurements — extreme notes are one-off recorded moments, not the singer’s everyday range.
