Just gorgeous harmonies, wonderful sound on the guitar. I love the song and the honor bestowed upon the Greatest Interpreter of the World's Songs. Thank you for this.

I've always believed that getting the right two voices together is THE most important aspect off a flawless harmony. They can both have their PhD's in vocal music, and that's not as important. They can individually have incredible voices, but that's not as important. One or both can even have only a mediocre voice alone, and that doesn't really matter. But when they sing together, it creates such a sound of oneness and synergy as to be almost hypnotic. David and Gillian have this in spades.

they look like siblings, maybe they were in another life, their synergy is otherworldly

sorry, I was in a bad mood and I didn't want the subject to be brought back to life. I apologise.

[MrKeyboardCommando]

There's no need for you to be rude, I was only trying to help.
