Don’t know if we’ve done this before or not. Thinking about Art Neville’s death yesterday, my mind wandered a bit and I remembered Aaron Neville’s collaboration with Linda Ronstadt on Don’t Know Much, which was fairly jaw-dropping for me when it first came out.
That led me down the mental path to the Ronstadt-Harris-Parton 3-part harmony on the remake of the old classic Mr. Sandman, which in turn let me to the 4-part harmony of The Chordettes on the same tune.
There have been scads of great duets from The Everlys to Simon & Garfunkle, of course.
Feel free to post your favorite duet numbers, but what have you got in the three and four part harmony realm?
To this day, I’m still astonished how well done that is. It’s just an echo chamber with two repeats. :smack: (It’s really probably some kind of tape splice trick.)
Perhaps best known for gospel and other religious music some 75 years ago, the Golden Gate Quartet also recorded more secular songs such as “Atom and Evil”.
