00:00:03.759 --> 00:00:23.679
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back to the podcast AM on the cat Bag. Oh,

2
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:32.200
<v Speaker 1>let's take a trip down memory lane, back to those

3
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:37.719
<v Speaker 1>golden days when AM radio filled the airwaves with sweet

4
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:44.200
<v Speaker 1>voices harmonizing in perfect harmony. Oh, those were the times

5
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:50.719
<v Speaker 1>when harmony groups made your souls sway. I learned about

6
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Billy Stewart. He was singing sitting in the park back

7
00:00:55.640 --> 00:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>in the sixties, bringing warmth and joy to everyone. Tuning

8
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:06.480
<v Speaker 1>in fast forward to nineteen eighty, we were treated to

9
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:12.200
<v Speaker 1>an updated version by GQ, who gave us I Do

10
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:19.319
<v Speaker 1>Love You also a Billy Stewart's song, reminding us that

11
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.319
<v Speaker 1>the spirit of those harmony knights was alive and well.

12
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Don't forget Raymond Goodman and Brown and their soulful hit

13
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Special Lady, a melodic gem that captivated the hearts of

14
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:41.359
<v Speaker 1>so many. The nature of harmony and rhythm and blues

15
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:46.400
<v Speaker 1>brought to mind the thrill of do walk those legendary

16
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:51.280
<v Speaker 1>groups singing sweetly on street corners, just like I caught

17
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:57.120
<v Speaker 1>on TV with Shah nah Nah. For those youngsters who

18
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:01.799
<v Speaker 1>may not have lived through that glorious era, let me

19
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:06.239
<v Speaker 1>tell you there's nothing quite like the magic of vocal harmony.

20
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:13.479
<v Speaker 1>Those groups didn't need fancy production or flash instruments. Their

21
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:18.159
<v Speaker 1>voices alone created the kind of music that could make

22
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:23.080
<v Speaker 1>you stop in your tracks and fill every note deep

23
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:28.759
<v Speaker 1>in your bones. So let's keep spinning those classics and

24
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:35.240
<v Speaker 1>remember the rich tapestry of harmonies that defined a generation.

25
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Turning on that am dow was like opening a treasure

26
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:46.960
<v Speaker 1>chest of sound filled with love, heart and the magic

27
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:53.599
<v Speaker 1>of the human voice. I'm Gael Nobles remembering harmony groups

28
00:02:54.400 --> 00:03:00.960
<v Speaker 1>on podcast AM you Can't Stand For
