Fact #137681
When:
Short story:
The Byrds record Turn! Turn! Turn! (a long version thereof) and The World Turns All Around Her at Columbia Studios, Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA.Full article:
David Crosby (The Byrds] : The way we did the first three Byrd albums I guess, was Gene and McGuinn would sing the melody together and then I would sing the melody together and then I would sing the harmony parts and then finally we got Christopher to start singin' and along about then Gene dropped out.
Then we got to singin' parts more. But for most of it, it wound up bein' me singin' harmony because I could sing that high and I could stay in tune, and that's about it. And also I really love singin' harmony and I love thinkin' up weird ones, and they used to enjoy the weird ones.
So I wound up never singin' the lead. Now, I'm not a great lead singer. But there are songs that I like to sing; and then they could all sing it. So .... he used to want to, and is used to be a matter of habit within the group to try to keep everybody in roles, you know what I mean? When we started out makin' groups the first time around, we thought it was sorta like Hard Days Night, and we thought everybody had to have a role.
