lloyd,
what you say is certainly true of many singers but, would you include
paul mccartney, stevie wonder, steve perry, maurice white, jack bruce, roy
orbison and freddy mercury (there are others)? if you don't, saying that
these singers exhibit a use of 'head voice', it goes against your proposal
that there haven't been examples of male pop singers using head voice.
however, these singers are often looked on as doing the impossible so the
average singer hearing these guys and then hearing a large number of others
bailing into falsetto, probably opt for the more immediate solution that the
latter presents.
