I am not talking about Barry's interview, but about John Merchant's May interview where he indicated Robin was reluctant to sing lead in and after the late '80s.

I do not think that Mo'voice could achieve falsetto, but Rob clearly did (ex.

Barry s= ang more, but there was a balance of sorts on those later albums. So, I'm s= till not to sure what Merchant was trying to say. Barry wanted Robin to sin= g lead more than he did?

I keep going back to the Meyer interview about the upcoming biography, with= Meyer asserting that Barry didn't let Robin sing lead (presumably the Feve= r period).

Could the Merchant interview be a clumsily coordinated effort with Barry= to spin this potentially negative revalation? I'm probably too far afield on this one, but the timing is a little peculia= r.
