Sad to say we just lost one of the greatest harmony singers in pop music. When I do their songs I get to be both brothers as my Digitech bumps my voice up a third so I can have Phil accompanying my lead vocal.

Here's one from the days of their waning popularity. "Crying In The Rain" was recorded in the sixties probably around the height of Beatlemania. Great Song!!! Rest in peace brother, Phil.

Thanks Guys. I really enjoy that song with it's signature Phil and Don format.

I used my PSR S750's 12 string layered with VAPOUR PAD for the accompaniment.

God Bless,
Don

Another great rendition, Don ... no slight to anyone else, but it seems some of the best singers here are named Don or Donny ... is it too late for me to change my name and would that help ?!? ... laugh2

Great job, vocals & keyboard,, & the Digitech Harmonizer sound great. I initially thought I was listening to a real guitar, rather than being played on a keyboard. Very nice tune, brings memories from way back. Looking forward to more if available. Thanks.

Here's one more I knocked off a while ago while experimenting with my Yamaha PSR S750. It's much heavier than they would do it.
When I first started working with a drum machine and guitar years ago. I thought it was cool to do the Everleys with a beat. When I started listening to their old stuff It was often just guitars, acoustic bass and drums played with brushes. Not many drum machines had a setting for brushes. This light approach allowed their voices to shine through the mix. Two very talented siblings who helped inspire my desire to be a musician and singer.

One thing I learned about singing with a harmonizer is you can't get lazy. It takes a lot of concentration and proper breathing. I noticed in listening to this that the first word in the verses is a little wonky. Mostly because I assumed I could sing this in my sleep. The harmonizers definitely keep you honest. I don't use their pitch correction.
God Bless,
Don
