Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

When I have children, I want ye to raise them.
Can anyone recommend me poppy records with lots and lots of man/woman dual vocals? Or multiple vocals? Or whatever the words I should be using to articulate what I mean?
Somewhere between the Swimming Pool Qs and The Mamas and The Papas.

Do you want more duets (trading vocals) or more male/female harmonies?
X has excellent tradeoff vocals.
Lee Hazelwood / Nancy Sinatra
Serge Gainsbourg / Nancy Birkin
Male and female harmonies....Hmmm. The Miracles. Uh...Spanky and our Gang.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I love love love male/female vocals together. It's one of my favorite musical things.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Non-Spring, if you're thinking of '70s pop with a soulful bent, there's Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr. Members of the 5th Dimension (who were originally marketed as the black Mamas and Papas, though their later work doesn't really have the male-female interplay) who went on as a duo after the group broke up.

Harmonies. Less relay, more two-legged race.
Thanks for the suggestions. The 5th Dimension, The Miracles and Spanky and our Gang sound interesting. Not that X and the Pixies don't but they're not really what I'm after.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I think there's a small bias in rock and roll against male/female harmonies. The fear that it's too glee club or folkie.
The early Fifth Dimension does have some very cool Jimmy Webb and Laura Nyro compositions (aside from the hits) that are worth hearing.
If you're willing to get really twee, then check out the Free Design who had very tight, complex male/female harmonies. (It was a family group, so you get those close brother and sister harmonies.) Cowsills also have male/female harmonies.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Um... I thought the Miracles just had Smokey singing really really high on lead, no women?
