What Is The Key To Varying The Level Of Grit You Sing With?

I've done so much work to try to create as much distortion as guys like Anselmo and Halford that if rather than a metal type distortion, I want more of a Mick Jagger type grit, I don't know how. The false folds are either activated or they're not and when they are, it's like a metal type grit. The lighter, more rock type grit like on "Start Me Up"...I don't know how to do it. If I tried to sing this it would probably sound more like Rob Halford than Mick Jagger.

For those who don't know the sound I'm talking about, this is Start Me Up:

I would think Jagger just isn't activating the false folds as much as Halford does, but with me, it's like my false fold are either on or off.
