When Fleetwood Mac played live or @the BBC while Peter Green, and Jeremy Spencer were in the band with Danny Kirwan; Green and Kirwan sang two-part harmonies for Spencer's "50's rock and roll songs", and they did it very well. Just listen to Spencer's version of Conway Twitty's "Heavenly" from the BBC sessions.
The best vocal example of FM with PG, DK, and JS, is Jeremy Spencer's "Teenage Darling" from Boston 2/70. Jeremy Spencer wrote this song as an "ode" to doo-wop, and yet be original at the same time with a nimble guitarist. It's absolutely brilliant!!!

So did the use of harmony disappear when Welch and Christine came members? |
