I wasn't so much thinking about the singer's (upper) range, but the range combined with the vocal style. I kind'a go into this above.
When I think about a male "Broadway belter" (as in throw your head back and sing at the top of your lungs), I'm more inclined to expect to hear a baritone voice. To me, Frank Richardson sounds more the way I'd expect a
female "Broadway belter," such as Sophie Tucker or Ethel Merman, to sing.
I agree, Will Oakland could definitely pass for a female singer to the uninitiated. As for Tiny Tim, who rose to fame because of his falsetto singing, I've read that he was actually a baritone.
I watched the Laugh-in episode that clip came from when I was a kid. (The emotional scars have yet to heal.
