  • I don't think this ever came up before

    From Steve Mc@21:1/5 to All on Fri Aug 23 09:55:18 2024
    This came up on my bike ride today:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-cNdG_sXkU

    I've never really isolated much on the background singing, but I do feel
    that the Jordanaires, who were on many of Elvis' records, did a very
    nice job in complementing his vocals/records. And for me, too many to
    actually chose from as the better ones.

    Do any of you have any background singing that stand out, either from
    the Jordanaires, or even from other artists, or vocal groups ?

    I'd imagine the vocal groups would dominate any list like this.

    This artist almost never used backing vocals, so this track really
    stands out for me:

    Interesting. I haven't heard that in years. Not a very common one, but
    good catch.

    Most of the Atlantic acts used the Cues and called them different names.

    Exactly--a *few* times.
    I was thinking of mentioning the times Bo Diddley used backing vocals,
    but that was more than a few, and it was always a different group.

    Perhaps I should also mention the Raelettes. Or are we only talking
    about male groups?

    I'm not Steve, but ISTR that Johnny Winter did a good version.

    Thanks DianeE, I have this, the instrumentation is good, but on this
    occasion I don't like the rough/raspy vocal.
