Yep.... and no autotune. Just people who can sing.

That's a lot of fun. They named their harmony dynamic "Harvey", and new Harvey was special. Still is...

A lot of early stereo records had the vocals isolated on one channel. I learned a lot of what I know about harmony theory by panning the car stereo to the vocal channel. It was what passed for fun back in the day...

I remember getting the Beatles remastered box set one year as a gift. I got the cans out and imagine by disappointment when the music was on one side and the vox on the other. That's how they did things. It sounds good when played on my little boom box thing because the speakers are really close together and you don't get the stereo effect in the room.

My wife recently described that general era as "the era of harmonies", 60s through 70s, and it's true there were quite a few. The various 'Brothers" and "Sisters, Beach Boys, Simon and Garfunkle, Wishbone Ash, Capability Brown, many more I'm sure,

Yes they could sing. As Gordon's wife said " that general era as "the era of harmonies", 60s through 70s,"
Today one group that can sing with no autotune is Foxes and Fossils:

Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

Oh yes, they've really kept the polish shining very brightly on harmonies. Outstanding.
