I posted my list - focusing on sibling harmonies - below. Note that The Ronettes' "Be My Baby" - their vocals with Phil Spector's Wall of Sound production - was the great inspiration to Brian Wilson for his developing studio skills. Wilson wrote "Don't Worry Baby" for Ronnie, though Spector turned it down.

Not just talent. Many of these recording have double tracked vocals where the singer sings the part multiple times and overlays the takes to create a fuller sound and cancel out imperfections. And All of these singers sang the parts over and over to find their best version. Singers use what technology they have to get the results they want. It’s not always purely talent or strictly the truth.

A lot of bands used multi tracking for effects. Queen was talented, never used synths until 1980. But Bohrap, vocal overlays to create a chorus sound. That's talent to even come up with that and to work to record overlays. I don't think it's cheating. It's art..

I am not sure why there are not more modern songs on this. I get the feeling this list was made by a Boomer. Harmonies are still strong in music, but not on the charts as much.

@jamesbaugh2602 2 месяца назад

Simon and Garfunkel's "Scarborough Fair/ Canticle" is a harmonic masterpiece that outshines "Sounds of Silence" in the evocative harmony department. The melancholy minor chord harmonies transform the traditional toung-in-cheek courting song into a sad longing piece interweaving with the tragic anti-war message of Simon's "Canticle".

So great the see The Seekers in your list. I love their vocals, and I’ll never find Another You is one of my favourites, but they seem to have been forgotten

@longfield0023 7 дней назад

So true! Not only underrated but barely mentioned. Judith Durham had the clearest most pure and beautiful voice. I saw her in London in the 90's. She still sounded perfect. I'll Never Find Another You almost always makes me cry. The Seekers were a little before my time but I feel it is timeless. I really don't know why they are not acknowledged more. But I am going to listen to them this weekend!

@ronaldpiccoli8063 2 месяца назад

At the very end of the list, we saw a hint at one of the greatest harmonies of all time, Scarborough Fair/Canticle, featuring Simon and Garfunkel and Andy Williams. This song, sung live on the Andy Williams show, demonstrated how three talented singers from different generations, could come together and harmonize, while singing two songs at the same time. This is the way music was meant to be. Talented artist coming together to mesmerize an adoring audience. No special effects, no electronic wizardry just singing.

There is ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT that The Everly Brothers sang THE GREATEST harmonies EVER in R&R/Country music. This song is great, but so is every song they sang. Listen to "Let it Be Me," or their final hit, "On the Wings of a Nightingale," written by one of their biggest fans, Sir Paul McCartney. When John & Paul were young musicians singing together, they often imagined themselves as Don & Phil.

A little known fact is that this song was written as the last resource, because the author was going to be laid off that day if he couldn’t produce a song that was worth recording. So he started the song with the first phrase “talking to myself, and feeling old“, and when I’m from there because he was depressed about losing his job.

@childofmary7959 2 месяца назад

Yes, that has to be taken into account. Those old hymns were lovely, and I’m sure they influenced the music of the 50’s - 70’s. Nowadays, they have ‘praise choruses’ , which are barely musical at all. And most children don’t go to church anyway.

And while Thank You for the Music by ABBA is a great song, it doesn't contain their most evocative harmonies; check out Knowing Me, Knowing You, What's the Name of the Game, and my fav: Baby You Owe Me One. Other notables would include Herman's Hermits (No Milk Today, Baby Can't You Hear My Heartbeat), The Zombies (Time of the Season), and many of the songs on Linda Ronstadt's Simple Dreams album. Also: Little River Band, Steve Miller Band, Indigo Girls, Peter and Gordon, the Drifters,... okay, so we need like, the top 500 list of goose-bumply harmonies!!!

From those you listed I'd say my favorites for harmony are Xanadu (ELO/ONJ), Angel Eyes or Eagle by Abba, Different Drum L Ronstadt, Reminiscing or Night Owls by LRB and I don't know if it counts as harmony if it's an extra dub of your voice, but In The Wintertime by Steve Miller is gorgeous and I've loved it since I first heard it in the mid-80's.
