That harmony man..If you listen close to the hook you can hear where the voices interlock...

That shyt used to be the norm for black groups, tight harmonies strong vocals.
are there any R&B groups today? The male R&B singers can't sing worth a damn anymore Usher, Chris Brown, all nasally whining.
If it wasn't for the old guard still putting in work R&B would be dead.
