Vocal Harmonies

hey what are some great songs to practice 3 part vocal harmonies?

Boyz 2 Men. You may think I'm kidding, but those guys can harmonize like its nobody's business. They did a cover of "yesterday." Its pretty legit.

Is it really legit? Is it not bogus fo sho?

... I feel sticky now.

Your mom felt sticky too.

(sorry, I had to lol)

Well, if you like the older stuff, there is always the beach boys.
Phip

The beach boys. Period.

I've know fallen into a Beech Boys phase! Thanks! :D

aterrell, it's Boy II Men, not 2. Just thought I'd let you know. :)

I'd also recommend them. If not, you should check out some classical stuff. Eric Whittacre - Lux Aurumque. Blows me away every time I hear it.

Depends on what style you're into, too.

"Ghost In The Shell - Inner Universe" is an awesome song to sing to, though it doesn't have loads of harmonies, I challenge you to create your own harmonies to this song.

@Jazz: My bad. :/ lol

But anyways. yeah, the Beach Boys are really good.

Check out The Byrds :) For extreme over the top whoopdeedoo wtf stuff: Nymphes des Bois, by Josquin.

Yo Cune! You haven't been round here in absolutely AGES! Where the hell ya got to man? Remember me yeah? Most of the ORIGINAL crowd don't come here any more, it's just me, blackholesun and a coupla others.

Afro

You know us new people make this place legendary. *puts on shades* :D

No worries aterrell.

Its part of the internet communities Afro isnt it? Nothing is permanent.

for vocal harmonies, try this: The Ravens' - Count Every Star

one of my all time favorites is The Mamas and the Papas-Somebody Groovy

Cheers!
Empirism

Yeah, some of the old 40s-50s bands are good for harmonies.

Skold, you say that, yet don't name any.

Quite funny how we're listing a bunch of stuff, and we have had no feedback from hippie cune if this is his type of harmonies or not.

What I personally find more entertaining, is to make the harmonies myself, it's also a good way to challenge your ear and theory.

That's because I don't know any of their names, r-tard.

Violence ensues?

GENDER WAR!

Doh, Doh...take it easy kids :P

lets mention few then :p

Lambert, Hendricks & Ross (one of the revolutionists on vocal music)
Four king sisters
Boswell sisters
Spirits of rhythm (darn good)
Deep river boys

The Eagles had some great 3 part harmonies. Listen to Seven Bridges Road
