Thread Name: Best harmony singers
Subject: RE: Best harmony singers
One of the best harmonizers I ever met in this life is a gal named Liz Tanzey. I sang a few times with her in Montreal, and she never failed to blow muh mind with her vocals. She had a natural, instinctive 'feel' for just the right timbre, vocal clarity and projection. What a gal. She could rock and roll or provide just the thing on tender ballads like Wild Mountain Time (Thyme/Tyme). She had the ability to provide a backup that was considerate of the 'lead' singers with whom she worked, and the tremendous ability to split the mike and make the song bigger and better than it could ever be with just one voice. She could drift in and out of unison-singing to third or fifth part harmony with the ease of a duck swimming under water. I do not know what has becaome of Liz. I hope the Universe has been good to her. If anyone reading this knows her or sees her singing somewhere, please give her my love and tell her I have never forgot those times we shared the stage and the mike. What a singer. Here's to ya, Liz.
