I was watching a beachboys documentary a few years back and it went in depth on how the harmonies of the Lettermen were perhaps the greatest influence on young Brian Wilson as he would play the Letterman albums for days at a time and spoke of this in an interview. Naturally I then had to begin listening to them and wow, it's amazing. It's almost like Brian is doing the arrangements for them. Glad I saw that documentary and have added the Lettermen on my "harmony-centric" playlist along with the Beachboys, CSNY, 3 Dog Night, Queen. ABBA, Bee Gees, Momma's & Poppa's, Cowsills, E.W and Fire, The Association, Peter-Paul& Mary, Certain Beatle songs with lush vocal arrangements, Manhattan Transfer, and a good grouping of individual songs that have harmonic magic.

Moody Blues, "Lovely to See You", when they sing the line "Where empires have turned back to SAND!". I definitely get the voltage up and down the spinal cord when the group harmonizes the word "sand".

Hello, Queen? Bohemian Rhapsody? Killer Queen? Somebody To Love? Not even an honorable mention!

The Beach Boys are widely regarded as one of the most innovative and influential groups in the history of popular music, especially for their use of complex and distinctive vocal harmonies. However, the origins of their harmonic style can be traced back to an earlier vocal trio, The Lettermen, who were a major inspiration for the young Brian Wilson, the creative leader of the Beach Boys. According to a documentary I watched a few years ago, Wilson was fascinated by the close-harmony pop songs of The Lettermen, and he would listen to their albums for hours on end, studying their arrangements and techniques. This prompted me to explore the music of The Lettermen myself, and I was amazed by their beautiful and smooth blend of voices. It seemed as if Wilson had learned from them how to craft his own intricate and expressive harmonies for the Beach Boys. I was glad that I watched that documentary, as it led me to discover and appreciate The Lettermen, who are now part of my “harmony-centric” playlist. This playlist features other groups and artists who are known for their harmonic magic, such as Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Three Dog Night, Queen, ABBA, Bee Gees, The Mamas & the Papas, The Cowsills, Earth, Wind & Fire, The Association, Peter, Paul & Mary, The Beatles, Manhattan Transfer, and various individual songs that showcase the power and beauty of vocal harmony.

You almost got it right...California Dreamin' #1 in my book, sends chills up my spine every time I hear it. And Cass Elliot was the band member who gave the Mamas and the Papas their distinctive sound.

The Moody Blues had some of the most lush harmonies of the late 60's and early 70's. Hypnotic and tight, and like most prog rock, best experienced while "under the influence." And although they were more of a jazz quartet, The Manhattan Transfer had some of the tightest and most intricate harmonies in all of music. Two of their biggest crossover hits are great examples of this: "The Boy From New York City," and "Soul Food to Go" (which also had an amazing music video featuring stop frame animation in the style of the old award-winning California Raisins commercials).

Your picks are spot on! As a child of the 50's ,60's and 70's these are bring back a lot of memories!!

My favorite is and always will be the Eagles and Seven Bridges Road. Five guys with very different voices singing in absolutely perfect harmony!!

I'm glad that Seven Bridges Road made the cut. It's probably my all-time favorite harmony. The Dirt Band could probably have contributed to this collection, too.

I grew up with many of these classic tunes. I can thank my parents for introducing me to them all. 🎶♥️

In the 60-70's it was all we could do to listen to them behind our parents back. I remember my Grandfather in disgust saying how it will all be forgotten in 2 or 3 years.

Don and Phil. The personification of vocal harmony.

Their pick here was worthy, yet nothing topped "Cathy's Clown" for harmonic perfection.

Two other notable omissions are any one of several big hits by Chad & Jeremy (Yesterday's Gone, A Summer Song, or Can't Get Used To Losing You), or Peter and Gordon doing World Without Love.

I would include “Hang On” (Wilson Phillips), Good Vibrations (Beach Boys), and She's Gone (Hall & Oates).

Wilson Phillips is NOT a good example of harmony. That was just singing in thirds. When the lead went up so did the harmony, when the lead went down so did the harmony. No separation. Good harmony is Simon and Garfunkel, Everly Brothers, CS&N, Beach Boys and The Association.

Another list please, at least two more, maybe. 🎶❤️ The harmonies of the Everly Brothers influenced The Beatles, The Beach Boys and so many more, plus related people's harmonies are always more amazing and again there are so many to choose from, for example you completely forgot the Bee Gees entire catalogue, from the 1960s onwards. 🎶

Why bother desiring another video? If they’re so stupid they didn’t prominently feature The Beach Boys and Queen, it’s obvious they’re stupid.

I’ve recently been listening to America a lot. A Horse With No Name Ventura Highway Very nice harmonies there.

One of my Favorites.

Plenty of songs & groups are left out here, simply because there are so ridiculously many that you'd have had, not a 13-minute, but a 13-hour video! My own 2¢ - Almost anything by The Seekers, maybe choose _I'll Never Find Another You,_ lead vocal by the late Judith Durham; wr. by Tom Springfield; _You Were On My Mind,_ by We Five; lead vocal by Beverly Bivens; written by Sylvia Fricker of Ian (Tyson) & Sylvia. Many songs by The Roches, 3 sisters with fantastic vocal harmonies; _Losing True_ (their own composition) or the _Hallelujah Chorus_ by G. F. Handel (from The Messiah) If you can find a better 3-voice, _a capella_ version of that work, I'd like to hear it!! All these (& more!) are highly recommended. Have a listen! Fred

I appreciate the diversity of your choices! Well done! You could add to this list 50 more Beatles songs, 40 more Beach Boys songs, a dozen Carpenters songs, a dozen Bee Gees ("Lonely Days"), more Simon and Garfunkel, a few by the Association and the Turtles, "He Aint Heavy" by the Hollies, and if you want your socks knocked off, WATCH and listen to the KZread of "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" Andrews Sisters. I love the harmony singing on Contours "Do You Love Me"

10 Just isn't enough how can you have this list without the ASSOCIATION ,every thing they did fits perfectly

En Vogue also has amazing harmonies, I especially enjoy them in Free Your Mind.

You can't put all the songs that were the 60's just glad I live it and grew up with the 60's music.

The Ventures "Walk Don't Run" plus all the other great songs of the times. Memories I was 19 we were the Smoke jumping crew out if CJ, Oregon! We parachuted into forest fires in the big timber where you hung up in the trees 50% of the time then repelled down maybe 60 feet. But Saturday was full of Grange dances filled with a lot of beautiful women and exciting times. Those were the days my friends!

How did the Wilson Phillips miss the list, they are such good harmonies

For me it's always "Southern Cross" Crosby, Stills and Nash. Love the harmonies.

Wooden Ships was also darn good.

Many of the groups followed the Everly Brothers sound, they were amazing. Got to see them in the late 1980's and they still sounded great. Love this post. Ty

A friend of mine once gave me a link to 'The Mull River Shuffle,' by The Rankin Family. I love that one. It's so exciting and energetic and happy, and I can't help tapping my feet when I listen to it. If I had something with loud speakers, I'd get up and dance to it (I only have a laptop at the moment, and that's not really adequate to play anything loudly). I get goosebumps when some of the other singers come in with their harmony, and yet, it's an energetic, happy feeling.

Huey Lewis and the News used so many amazing harmonies. Listen to “Naturally,” lesser known, but AMAZINGLY tight harmonies in this fun acapella song!

Bee Gees. Everything they did truly amazing.

I personally, for the harmonic balance put " California Dreamin" at the top of the list. The singers loft the tune into the air and its just "picked up" by the others, who "answer" the sound by adding to it, rather than all singing the same notes, demonstrating a " group vocality". They "echo" each other! Thats why i think it should be top of the list

While I agree with all of these picks, I feel that En Vogue (pretty much anything) should have also been mentioned. Their harmonizing was amazing.

Excellent!

My father loved Country, my mother loved folk & 50/60s pop. Forever grateful that music was almost always playing in the home and that we were each encouraged to find our own favourite music.

Phil Spector was a genius with his wall of music. I was just a kid, but every single one of his songs just blew my mind. I loved his harmonies. I loved everything about them. And, the Beach Boy harmonies were so much better than the Beetles. While other teens were going crazy for them, I was sticking with The Beaxh Boys! ABBA came much later, but they were great, too! And the BeeGees! So many more!

“Turn, turn, turn” was Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, from one of the “wisdom books” of the Old Testament, collections of truths and sayings. The words attributed “a season” to a series of opposing actions: “A time to be born, a time to die; a time to plant, a time to reap; a time to kill, a time to heal,” etc.

What? No "Hold On" by Wilson Phillips or "Sweet Judy Blue Eyes" by CSNY? You missed several harmonic gems in making this list I'm afraid.
