DON’T STOP BELIEVINGZIGGY11rank/position
ZIGGY is a band that greatly energized the rock scene of the 1980s.
Known for bright, powerful songs that embody classic rock ’n’ roll, they’ve released many tracks over the years.
Among ZIGGY’s songs, the one I especially recommend for men in their 50s is “DON’T STOP BELIEVING.” While the vocals aren’t particularly low, no part goes beyond the mid-range, and there aren’t many long sustained notes, making the vocal lines quite easy to sing.
