Interesting history of music videos at

I remember seeing a Cab Calloway video in a theater in the 1940s sometime.

Here is a 1932 "music video" of sorts ... three middle class white girls
from NOLA singing with "soul", before it was invented:

That was AWESOME! Thanks for that.
I'm a huge fan of the Roches, Dan Hicks' Hot Licks and stuff like
that. Nothing quite like three or more women finding 'Harvey' in the
harmony.
Vocal harmonies, done right, can make the hair on my arms stand up
straight. Mostly when done with all natural women, but the guys can do
it too. Sometimes a combo, like Mammas and The Papas. (They coined
'Harvey' as that sweet thing in the attic when harmonizing voices
become one voice.)
Hollies, Peter & Gordon, Everly Brothers, CSN&Y on a good day, ....
the list is long, but it has a common thread.
What do we have now? Auto-Tune?

If you like vocal harmonies in a men's choral setting try
