    Five part harmony never sounded better. Having played many years in bands i know the practice that goes into performing songs. Here you have three older musicians and two teenage school girls in such perfect unison. Harmony is a very delicate sound and you have to have "matched" voices for it to be tops. CSN is a case in point but in this song you have perfect mix, perfect pitch and vocal perfection. My opinion here is that the girls ( who don't even look at each other) are so naturally gifted that practice is merely just sorting out the rough edges. A masterful performance and long live F&F.

      In the 'about us' section on the website Tim described working with the girls for this first show as "seldom did they need direction, and when they did it was usually just a brief discussion followed by perfection".

      F&F has bios on line of all the performers. The girls had been singing in a church choir for about ten years before becoming part of F&F. I think they had done most of the practicing they would ever need at this point.

      Bob Vogel Well, I’m 71 and been in the music business since I was 15, so not as long as you but still, I concur. I’ve been in a few great vocal bands (with Columbia Records, worked at Chess, did a lot of jingle work in Chicago, etc.) but this group blows me away every time I see and hear a new video from them. And to be honest, I’m jealous. Ever since I moved to this one horse town in the southwest I have found absolutely no one with the talent to harmonize like these folks.

    One thing that gets me is that Sammie and Maggie sing these incredibly tight harmonies without even once looking at each other. I have been in the studio and usually singers have to maintain eye contact to even come close to this level of synchronicity.

    • @dougsalzmann2752
      @dougsalzmann2752 4 года назад +13

      Yup. The timing is always perfect and so is the pitch, whether they are singing in unison or one above the other. By the time they made it to the basement studio in the past few months, the whole bunch had perfected five-part harmony to the point that listeners routinely fall off their chairs. And when Tim and Sammie sing in unison on "Seven Bridges Road" . . . space-time pauses. 1:27 ruclips.net/video/lP_eq5cvobk/видео.html

    If one day we are all allowed to fly across the world from Australia after covid-19, I have got it into my head that I want to sit through a few of the Foxes & Fossils 'live' shows. I just can't seem to get enough of your music and your talent -- even after buying 14 songs just recently. I want more. And having watched a moment ago Maggie sing so superbly Let It Be Me (Everly Brothers song), I am kicking myself for not adding that song to my previous purchase. But there is a next time. And Sammie, your song Neon Moon, sticks in my head, so gloriously sung, and Chase, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, blew my sock right out around the galaxy and back. Lovely band, beautiful songs, such terrific talent, every one of you in the group. E-v-e-r-y-o-n-e! Your music eases my day. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
