@@donnievick3076 There's _loads_ of "wiggle room" when it comes to harmony. Take the Beatles 'Love Me Do'... Add a straight close 3rd or fifth harmony following either Lennon or McCartney's notes exactly and you have mediocrity. The artful moreish genius on this first little gem is that they don't follow each other. Instead, there are two brilliantly melodic memorable phrases sometimes harmonising in 3rds and sometimes in 5ths but each going their own way. It's perfect musical metaphor for the brilliance of the combination of both competitive songwriters. They sing the same words, together, but the contrasting melodies and the way each singer sounds conjures tellingly different meaning. McCartney's higher, ascending, apprehensive romantic melody is asking her, perhaps pleading; whereas Lennon's stridently up, then firmly resolving down, no nonsense alpha male cluster is telling her straight. Either melody is pop-glorious alone; together, they're rebellious.

David Crosby didn't exactly "discover" Joni Mitchell. She had already performed on national Canadian TV from 1965, & Tom Rush had already recognized her songwriting ability by recording "Urge For Going". Crosby made the connections in L.A. that launched her big-time career, but she wasn't exactly an 'unknown' at the time.
