A Guide to the Best Vocal Harmonies of Rock ‘n’ Roll: 1955 – 1985.
This is the definitive resource for locating rock’s best vocal harmonies. Baby boomers, harmony lovers and adults of all ages will appreciate the quick referencing of Brian’s 1,650 “best harmony picks” from 485 different artists, along with over 10,000 additional song recommendations. If the group/artist had at least one hit on Billboard’s, top-40 survey within this thirty-year period, Brian has listened to their available catalogue of songs to assess the effectiveness of the harmonies from simple duets to full blendings of five or more voices. Find the “logical” harmony groups like Beach Boys, Association, Queen and Earth, Wind and Fire, along with hundreds of obscure artists like Utopia, Skylark and City Boy. Brian includes the name of the CD, best harmony selections from that CD and brief notes on the group’s style, sound and peculiarities. The book is 225 pages in paperback and the perfect companion text for any book on rock ‘n’ roll or vocal groups. The foreword has been written by Larry Hoppen, lead singer with the rock/harmony group, Orleans.
