Paul and Art have quite the cosmic overlap in their respective vocal gifts . . . especially in the early years of the duo.

All of those nights we harmonized until dawn
ironic, as S & G split immediately afterwards
Jayhawks (Olson/Louris) got it right. Everly Bros. And of course, Gram/Emmylou.
Beach Boys edit: Pet Sounds. All you need to know about harmony.

Just to brag: I saw the Beach Boys and CSNY together in concert; first one, then the other, then together. 1974 (I think). Milwaukee. Harmony Central.

Here's a nice duet between Chris Thile and Aoife O'Donovan last night. Not exactly unique harmonies, but nice dynamics, a really tight performance, and I like how Thile pushes her out of her usual whisper:

David Crosby and anybody he has sang with.
Crosby & Stills
Crosby & Nash
Crosby,Stills,Nash & Young
The Byrds
CPR (Crosby,Pevar & Reynolds) reunited with his Son.
Check out the Voyages 3 CD set. Guess I have listened to it (listening right now) about 100 times.
On the 3rd CD is a song he wrote called "The Climber"
The heat of the stone against your face
The incredible presence of mass
The clink of the metal the hiss of the rope
The sky like a piece of blue glass
He clings to the rock with the feeling reversed
As if he holds the whole earth in his hands
He loosens a pebble and hangs there quite silent
Listening to his heart 'til it lands
Listening to his heart moved by his art
Up the wall, up the wall
His life in his hands who knows where it lands
Up the wall, up the wall
Copied from MetroLyrics.com
Been listening to him since the 60's but never heard that song until this copilation came out. In the little book that comes with the set he says that "The Climber" was maybe his best song.
