Name me some great vocal songs for a duo

[harpinon]

I just hooked up with a great singer/ guitarist.
We are going to put together a duo with an emphasis on big vocal songs.
Mostly 60's & 70's stuff and some newer stuff also.

Name some good harmony rich songs that would go over well at wineries and dinner clubs.

[frickengruvin]

Your vocal attributes not withstanding, anything from Simon and Garfunkle or the Beach Boys. Many of The Beatles releases have some awesome harmonies...

[harpinon]

Yeah, we were thinkin Beatles, Eagles. Any specifics?

[JSeth]

Just get yourself a Stevie Wonder Songbook... there are literally dozens of his tunes that fit the bill... anything from "Tuesday Heartbreak" (from "Mucis of My Mind"?) up through "Hotter Than July"...

I do a solo arrangement of "Another Star" that people really connect with, regardless of whether they can place the tune or not...

Although it's nice to play some songs that EVERONE knows, I have always focused upon the material from artists that folks may not have heard, much if at all...

Other groups to check out are The Band - can't beat 'em for great songs with great vocals... ANTHING by Steely Dan will catch folks' ears... a lot of Van Morrison's earlier work has room for solid harmonies, too!

Have fun!
