Friday's Playlist: Gorgeous Vocal Harmonies

>

Happy Friday!

In this Playlist we feature beautiful voices meshing together, and creating gorgeous harmonies. There are numerous bands that are famous for that: you could fill several playlists of beautiful harmony songs performed by The Everly Brothers, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, or any permutation of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, including their works with The Byrds to the Hollies.

There are also quite a few musical genres that make extensive use of the technique, chief among which of course are Doo-Wop, Soul and Country.

So all of these will be heavily featured in this Playlist, as well as some curveballs that you're hopefully unfamiliar with.

So enjoy these heavenly songs and let us know which ones you'd include in your own Pantheon of gorgeous harmonies.
