Paul Beasley was the greatest falsetto in modern quartet history and the heir to the throne of Claude Jeter. Here he is singing his signature song with The Mighty Clouds of Joy. This is the morning Paul was singing about when he’d have nothing to do but just “Walk Around Heaven all Day.” Rest in Peace.
