The solo high C moment, added for the Lane/Prince revival, is really a stolen moment from the original version of "Brotherhood Of Man," when the also usually non-singing (until that moment) Miss Jones joins in with the song, and holds a high F over the men singing "Oh, that noble feeling..."). Just so no one has to correct me on this, lol, I do know she sings before that moment in the song (she in fact starts the "oh, that noble feeling" section on her own, before the guys join in) - but it's the "holding the big high note over the full company" aspect of the number I was focusing on. ;-)
