Bluegrass is probably not in “popular music” but the group IIIrd Tyme Out used to do a lot of acapella stuff (members have changed - don’t know about now). This version of “Only You” is a good example:

I’m listening to Pink Floyd’s \*Animals \*album this morning, and it reminded me of the harmonies in [The Show Must Go On](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHxa9YqmVI0) from _The Wall_; they’re present throughout the very short song, but especially strong in its final seconds before the segue into _In the Flesh_.
