Talk:Close harmony

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why is this included in the country music category? Tiles 09:24, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Because the term is often associated with the "brother duets" of early country music, e.g. the Delmore Brothers, the Louvin Brothers, the Everly Brothers. Also, Bill Monroe and his brother sang in this style prior to the development of the "high lonesome" sound of bluegrass. -MrFizyx 04:36, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Close Harmony Country/Gospel Music

I heard a programme on BBC World-Service Radio on the night of 15/16th November 2007. It featured a close-harmony country/gospel group called 'The Luban Brothers' (or Looben or Louban - I don't know the spelling.) One brother was killed in a road accident in 1965, but the other is still performing, at the age of 80! They used to have Elvis Presley as an opening act!! They sang wonderful close harmony, and were said to have inspired the Everly Brothers,& Gram Parsons amongst others. Please, can anybody help with the spelling of their name, and a source of their records?
